oh my aching liver...i can't wait to play!
perhaps we could get a round going in someone's hotel room at the fest.i'm sure we could get a few actors to join us as well. :-X

8. If there's a blatant shadow of the boom microphone on the walls, or on a character.
I think you could get "socially drunk" just on this one alone. Toss in a shot of tequila every time you see a perfectly clear shadow of the entire boom mike and it's spider-shaped supporting hardware on a wall, and you wouldn't be feeling too well in the morning. ;D

That's funny, I was actually WONDERING if there were such a thing as any form of published DS drinking game! ;D
Then of course there's a much simpler form if you don't have a head for so many rules...a game I call "Drink Along With Roger". Obvious what the rule is here. If you're watching the pre-Barnabas episodes especially, you'll be singing "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor" in no time.
(For those more daring TV partiers...you can play "Drink Along With Sam Evans".)

(above) That is too funny! How drunk would we be if we drank to the word "must"? That has to be MY vote to tie one on!
Hey, where does everyone get those wonderful smilies anyway?

My vote would have to be for "that room" :-)

Click on "more" next to the 18 smileys. It opens a new window, btw.

I thought I was the only one who noticed all the "musts"... I'll drink to that!

On no MT, we had a WHOLE thread about "must". ;) Hell, in certain eps you could get blasted by the end credits they say "must" so much. ;)
