Drinking games NOT to play
Occasionally (feeling slightly navel-gazey as I do so) I check out the search terms that lead people to this site. Sometimes they are very ordinary (“Claire Hennessy writer” ), other times they’re slightly more unusual.
One recent one was drinking games with Hennessy, which I presume means the cognac, rather than, you know, me. But then I started thinking about drinking games I would suggest to this person. Many of them were TV-related.
For example, while watching Desperate Housewives, drink every time Mary Alice says, “Yes….”
When watching Boston Legal, drink every time Denny Crane breaks the fourth wall. And start chugging whenever he and Alan Shore dance, dress up as flamingos, or get married.
Drink whenever Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock alludes to any other Alec Baldwin characters.
When watching anything featuring Betty White, drink whenever she gets the best lines.
For Brothers and Sisters and Cougar Town, drink when they drink.
Then I realised that these were very bad ideas which would leave people comatose and/or dead. Especially the last one.
Alas, searcher-person, I can’t help you on this one. Have a link to that episode of Black Books where they write the children’s book instead. Do not drink when they drink. Ever.
