Star Trek: The Next Generation The Canonical Drinking Game Compiled by: Mark Yocom (n9043860@henson.cc.wwu.edu) =========================================================================== Requirements: Episode(s) of ST:TNG This list People (the more the merrier) Beverages of your choice Instructions: Simple. Watch the show, and whenever a condition is met, take the appropriate number of drinks. The definition of "drink" should be decided before game play starts. Usually, a good mouthful will suffice. Optional rules are included at the end of the list for fun variations on the "standard" game. Compiler's Note: I would advise taking some time before game play starts to decide which conditions to use and which to ignore. Remember that this list is canonical, so you probably will _not_ want to use them all (especially with a new episode, since you'll spend all your time reading the list, rather than watching). Please send any corrections, suggestions, requests, submissions, flames, etc. to the address listed above. =========================================================================== Category:

Two drinks if you say the wrong word. Whenever Riker appears in a scene, the last person to say "Oink Oink" takes a drink. If Troi "senses" something, everyone must stick a finger down their throats and make gagging sounds - last one to do so takes a drink. (This one could be dangerous in the latter stages of the game.) At the start of a commercial break, guess who will do the next log entry. Take a drink if you're wrong. If there's no log entry, everyone drinks. When Data launches into a long explanation, the last person to interrupt with "Thank you, Commander..." takes a drink. Doesn't count if you say it after it's said on the screen. Whenever Wesley saves the ship, throw something at the TV. Take a drink if you don't hit Wesley. Before the show, everyone predicts Dr. Crusher's hairstyle. Everyone who is wrong has to take a drink. Whenever Troi gets a headache, drink until the headache subsides. Before the show, everyone predicts Guinan's hat style (stop sign or teardrop). Everyone who is wrong has to take a drink. =========================================================================== -- _-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-Mark Yocom_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_ < n9043860@henson.cc.wwu.edu | "Enticed elephant phoned | I mean what I say, > < 9043860@nessie.cc.wwu.edu | wad dime lieu king ford." | but not always v.v.> ~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~
