But I'm already engaged in liquid refreshments.
I can only hope I'm still awake after the Pairs and Mens free (I think that's what they are showing next on ABC) due to Dick's excessive use of the word "stretch."Has it - one sip. Doesn't have it - two sips.

The World Championship Drinking Game - ABC/ESPN version
This is only for those watching on American tv. I'm not familiar with the stupid habits of foreign commentators.
General:
-take 1 sip every time Dick "takes his hat off" to someone
-take 1 sip every time Dick says a move is unacceptable
-take 1 sip every time Peggy or Dick says move needs more stretch
-take 1 sip every time Dick reveals his age by talking about competitors from before 1960
-take 1 sip every time a better performance is chacked to show Americans
-take 2 sips every time a better performance is chacked to show a nonAmerican former world medalist
-take 3 sips if a better performance is chacked to show some other random skater
-take 1 sip every time a recycled fluff peice is shown
Dance:
-take 1 sip every time L/T are mentioned
-take another 2 sips if you were a big fan, so you can forget they broke up
-take 1 sip every time a medalist is chacked
-take 1 sip every time Susie wuzrobs B/A or G/P
-take 1 sip if B/A place fourth or lower and Susie says that they deserved bronze
-take 2 sips if B/A place third and Susie says that they deserved silver
-take 3 sips if B/A place second and Susie says that they deserved gold
-take 1 sip every time Susie refers to N/K's "look"
-take 1 sip every time Susie says something completely nonsensical, like how F/S have good lifts or N/K have a lot of difficulty
-take 1 sip for every team in the final flight that they don't show
-take 1 sip every time they talk about Tanith or Denis trying to get citizenship
-take 1 sip every time the US's medalless streak at worlds is mentioned
-take 1 sip every time Max Staviski or Ben Agosto messes up on a twizzle
Pairs:
-take 1 sip every time Dick or Peggy gush over the Chinese pairs
-take 1 sip every time Dick critiszes a death spiral entrance
-take 1 sip every time a pair falls in unison on s-b-s jumps
-chug when the PetTikhs win worlds
-take 1 sip every time it is mentioned that Obe/S, Zag/Siu, and Lan/Arc's coaches used to coach B/S and S/P.
I can't think of anything else either creative or funny for this category that doesn't involve excessive US pairs bashing, which I resolved to give up. Pairs is so boring nowadays. :yawn:
Men:
-take 1 sip every time Weiss does the Mike Pike
-take 2 sips if someone cheers specifically for the Mike Pike
-take 3 sips if a commentator makes fun of the Mike Pike
-take 1 sip every time Yags is mentioned as a coach
-take 1 sip every time an American man does a clean quad
-take 1 sip every time Dick critsizes Plush's arm movements
-take 1 sip every time Weiss talks about his family
-take 2 sips if we actually see his family
-take 1 sip if a commentator actually remembers that Savoie was the GPF bronze medalist in 2001
-chug if nobody lands a clean quad
-drink everything in sight if nobody lands a clean triple Axel
Hmm, perhapse I should resolve to give up Weiss bashing, too.
Ladiezzz:
-take 1 sip every time Dick or Peggy gushes over Sasha, Michelle, or Jenny
-take 1 sip every time the commentators only point out the weaknesses of a European skater
-take 1 sip every time one of Kwan's records is mentioned
-take 1 sip every time a coaching change is mentioned
-take 2 sips if Sasha falls on the toe loop
-take 1 sip if Sasha falls on a different jump
-take 3 sips if Sasha stumbles/falls/trips on a non-jump element
-take 1 sip every time Michelle goes more than 20 seconds without doing anything but stroking
-take 1 sip every time Robin does something excessively enthusiastic
-take 1 sip every time a triple-triple is landed
-take 2 sips if a triple Axel is landed
-take 3 sips if a quad is landed
-chug if the quad was not landed by Miki
Please add more to the list, especially in pairs. :o
Edited by DG - please add more before this fluff piece is over!! There should be bonus points if you're still awake when this US TV coverage is over.
DG
You guys are all hilarious! Thanks for the recipe!
1 sip for every time Peggy mentions "extension"
2 sips for every time Dick invents a new Buttonism (i.e. slash and burn vitality)
3 sips if the Buttonism is the result of trying reeeeeally hard to compliment a skater that he wouldn't normally praise
2 sips for every time Dick praises the opposite of what he REALLY thinks of a skater he's trying really hard to compliment (think Joubert vs. Plushenko tonight)
That's my 2 cents...and depending on the substance, just on my four rules alone, I'd be out cold by now

if Sasha stumbles and Peggy cries "focus fowl"
when they forget to even MENTION Stephane Lambiel's 4th place finish (while his face is prominently featured on the screen) in their rush to inform us that two Americans--who we GOT to see--ended up in the top six (I have a bottle tucked away for this rule alone
Wheeeee; this is fun!!!
still sober Sarah (but not for long)
Eurosport viewers - we need one for Chris & Simon, I think....
maybe we can split it into "universal" drinking rules, e.g. ones based on the skating (e.g. Mike's Pikes) and another set for the commentators that can be changed depending on who you're listening to.
hmmm...will look out for c&s's favourite phrases - they certainly have them!
K.
When ABC doesn't show you the 4th place finisher in the most important event of the year. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

I'll have to adapt this for CBC
Heres a start
1 sip everytime a Canadian skater makes a mistake and Barb and Paul DON'T comment on it
Okay, what was up last night with Dick being quiter than usual? I think Terry talked more than Dick and Peggy did. If I'd been playing this during Nats, the whole cake would've been gone. Instead, the amount I got through was pitiful.
Kahlua Cake
1 chocolate cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 milk chocolate pudding mix
2/3 cup Kahlua -- coffee liqueur
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Beat together all
ingredients in a mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour into a greased and floured 12 cup Bundt pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until pick inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 25
minutes. Drizzle with icing, garnish as desired.
ICING
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup cream
2 Tbsp Kahlua
Sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Heat cream and add coffee until dissolved. Stir into powdered sugar and add Kahlua, to taste.
***I modified this a little. I made up a batch of chocolate glaze and poured it over the top of the Kahlua glaze b/c I could taste the Kahlua more than I wanted to. It turned out pretty good. You can never have enough chocolate, lol.
lovespirals & childfreegirl - thanks for the recipes.
Additional recommended rules.
1 sip - Every time someone mentions the time rule as pertains to Michelle.
2 sips - Every time the length of the cut of her music is mistaken for the actual length of her skate is mentioned.
CHUG - For the benefit of all people who don't realize that time limits on both ends of a performance are STANDARD for anyone competing in a subjective sport. (penalties under and over. I don't know if there is an under penalty, but found out today there is an over penalty, and thank God at least ONE mandatory deduction was applied today from the reports, and not seeing anything myself.)
OK. I owe myself at least 20 well deserved sips at this point, which should make my Italian Beef interesting for tomorrow - those that will have to eat it while I'm hiding out with my New Lover Eurosport. The "hiding out" part won't be an issue at 6AM, but could get very dicey by the time guests start arriving, which according to my estimates should be about the time the final flight takes the ice. AAAGGGHHH! TGIF
