Re: The My So-Called Life Drinking Game.

Despite giving my liver a well needed rest, my friends and I came up with several drinking games this past weekend, that we intend to try out later this week. All of them evolve around favorite TV shows and/or movies. We have The John Hughes drinking game, which, as I'm sure you guessed, must be done while watching a John Hughes movie (we've also lumped Say Anything in there, although it's a Cameron Crowe film), and it involves reciting lines from the movies. If you fuck up a line, you drink... if everyone can flawlessly quote the line together, then we all drink. Of course, this game needs a little work, and you'd have to be a true child of the 80's to play this one...

In college we used to play The My So-Called Life drinking game, which, in my humble opinion, is the greatest game we ever came up with, and since purchasing the DVDs (finally!) last week, I've anxiously been waiting to play this game yet again.

The game can be played either during one episode, several, or if you have the time and nothing else on your social roster, it can be played while watching the entire series back-to-back (it was senselessly cut short, after all)... this of course will provide the greatest level of drunkeness.

The rules are simple, you drink whenever:

- anyone says "like"

- Jordan Catalano leans

- Angela Chase cocks her head to the side

- Ricky is in the girl's bathroom

- Angela's younger sister does something annoying

- Brian Krakow gets frustrated/yells at Angela

(the amount of "likes" that are said, alone, will get anyone more than tipsy...my sister and I once counted 43 "likes" in one episode.)

So I suggest you all give it a whirl...it is the only decent thing Claire Danes every did, and I'm sure we can all agree the same thing for Jared Leto, too...
