The Metafilter drinking game and how to play it.

September 5, 2003 1:23 AM

The spit takes thread made me think: why hasn't anybody devised a MetaFilter Drinking Game? (Well, actually, kottke did, indirectly, long ago, but I'm sure we can haul out every MeFi cliche' imaginable and compile them into an excuse for near-life-threatening blood-alcohol-levels. (Might even increase attendance at MeFi MeetUps)

I'll start with the way-too-obvious:
One drink for every thread by Miguel.
Two drinks for every thread NOT by Miguel that mentions Miguel...

Two drinks and a pony for every pancake.

Drain your beer each time Matt posts.

It might be worth having a little quiz when posting:

How many * are below?

If your answer is more than one, please back away from the computer.

I'm a man. I drink alone. But I do like those cute little umbrellas. And maraschino cherries.

drink every time 111 says something dangerously close to "ewwwwwwwwwww, boys kissing".

A shot of jager for every "imminent demise of Mefi" comment...the poster making such a claim has to consume a bottle of jager, and if they meet their own "imminent demise" in the process, all the better...

Take a nip everytime someone calls 111 a troll.
posted by backOfYourMind at 7:24 AM on September 5, 2003

I'd make it 'take a nip everytime someone mentions 111', but I don't think my liver could take it.
posted by backOfYourMind at 7:25 AM on September 5, 2003

Oh, and take a nip everytime someone threatens to cut off one of their limbs...

...you have to chug a bottle of MD 20/20 if they do it.

take a nip every time Stavros mentions "nipples".

oooh. it's gonna get nipply in here.

111's nipples got hard as he saw matt and miguel kissing astride ponies. As he uttered, "ewwwwwwwwwww, boys kissing" his pancakes started vibrating.

Kids, don't drink and post, OK? That alone would be a major bandwidth/time-saving device. Here's a game for some of you: instead of buying a drink, give $5 to the charity of your choice for every time you 1) campaigned against George W. Bush in this site.

uh-oh. there go two more...

Do you think we're made of money or something? I mean, it's not like we're republicans or anything.

A thimble of St. Ides each time a half-cocked, half-stoned college sophomore with a MeFi account and a dearth of meaningful life-experience posts a Salon op-ed they skimmed on their G4 laptop at the coffee shop and subsequently attacking anyone who disagrees with its merits as MeFi post as some kind of fascist or (horrors) neocon while failing to realize the difference between people who disagree with you politically and those simply think your presentation is for-shit, all the while touting lofty ideals like Tolerance & Open-Mindedness™ and consistently exhibiting the exact opposite, all for the purpose of seeking attention, acceptance and the Me-Too! responses of like-minded MeFites all too willing to high-five one another and lash out at anyone who dares invade the thread with a differing opinion.

Bonus Dixie cups of Cisco Red for anyone so obsessed & threatened by 111 they must invoke him repeatedly in a totally unrelated thread.

Anyone have a liver they're willing to donate?

2)lisped. But that would have been a homophobic remark, so I took it out in order to avoid offending gay people in general. The annoying, whining ones I had in mind know who they are.

2)lisped. But that would have been a homophobic remark, so I took it out in order to avoid offending gay people in general.

It also would have have been an uninformed remark. I'm gay, and I don't lisp, and I know lots of other gay people who don't lisp, either.

Incidentally, I don't know why people refer to the stereotypically gay way of speaking as a lisp -- it's really more of an extreme sibilance -- a finely-honed s sound, not a th sound.

The annoying, whining ones I had in mind know who they are.

Oh, and they lisp? And you can tell this from the way they hit the S on the keyboard or something?

Debunking 111 is so much fun.

One drink for every time I notice the pair of pliers sitting on my desk and am momentarily overwhelmed by a mental image of the grinding, popping noise that would be produced if I pulled out my teeth one by one.

Oh, wait; wrong drinking game.

1 drink if you immediately know whom someone is baiting, 2 more if it's successful.
