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.
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.
