Sometimes a good idea is just a good idea. And, since we all know how many shipmates browse the Ship while imbibing, comet's idea in Hell seemed like a pretty good idea.(1)

The proposed rules so far include:
  • everytime a newbie says they thought this was a christian website, take a drink!
  • every time they tell RooK that he doesn't scare them, take a drink!
  • Every time they claim this place is full of meanies with potty mouths, take a drink!
  • and if they flounce, drain the cup and refill!
  • Is accusing the H&A of being unfeeling bastards on power trips worth a drink, or "drain the cup"?
  • I'll also propose a "Drink, then find the nearest blunt object" for any of the phools who think they're being big and clever by adding "Oh, since we're in Hell: Fuck."

My own additions, which should probably apply to any board, are:
  • Whenever somebody uses the phrase "read for comprehension", drink!
  • Whenever somebody refutes anything with a single solitary and otherwise unsupported piece of supposed personal experience, drink!"
  • Whenever somebody uses an acronym that isn't found on the first page of any search engine, drink some GIN!(2)

Clearly, suitable rules could - should! - be proposed for the other boards (that I don't visit or care about).(3) Be fruitful and ferment.

(1) Keep in mind that drinking and posting rarely mix well, and are not officially advised. Unless you have a Designated Editor.

(2) Unless you're Hooker's Trick, in which case you should put down the gin and have a spacer.

(3) OK, the word "care" was redundant, obviously.

Naaaaaaaaaah, couldn't happen:

Especially when it's 100F (110 in one's un-airconditioned apartment), and you're looking for a distraction.

Besides, I never remember anything I've said the following day (and I trust no one else does)

So, this is Heaven: Nice place - I must remember to drop by here again some time

  • every time someone who has a higher post count than 3000 says ‘this place ain’t what it used to be’, take a drink
  • every time someone says ‘preview post is your friend’, take a drink
  • every time comet mentions the word Alaska, take a drink
  • every time someone says something awed and sycophantic about Erin, finish whatever’s left in the bottle and take a diazepam

  • for every use of the term "ad hominem" take a straight shot
  • if you see someone Junior Hosting before the host arrives, the host has to take a drink. or two.
  • the axe murderer smily means drain your cup!

  • Everytime a post in styx with a tech query is followed by another post from someone else thanking the volunteers take a drink - if it includes a smilie take two, and drain the cup and refill for a bowing smilie
  • Everytime someone mentions the organ fund, drain your cup, calculate the cost of the drink and donate a sum of that value
  • Everytime someone you have posted in reply to is suspended, finish off the bottle and log off for 24 hours
  • Everytime someone you have posted in reply to is permenantly banned, hold an alcohol fuelled wake and invite at least two other shipmates to share it with you and log off for 48 hours
  • Whilst reading the prayer thread, have a pitcher of long island iced tea by your side - add an ice-cube for every votive smilie and take a drink for every group of three votive candles. Vodka shot for every prayer post that included reference to someone else's prayer request. (For the sake of your liver this activity should be limited to 5 minutes).
  • Everytime you see a host post in their offical capacity you must drink a quarter of a pint of carrot juice
  • Everytime a swearword is included in a post to you, you must add a dash of angastura bitters to your current drink

Every time you make a comment that is potentially offensive --

And you put in a smilie like [Razz] or [Big Grin] to show that you don't particularly care if it's offensive or not -- 'cause you're feel plenty of bonhomie toward the guy you're answering (even though you think his opinion has all the well-thought-out long-lasting value of sneezed-in tissue paper) --

If you run completely out of booze, chocolate, and money to buy more of same, while carefully following the above drinking rules, do not resort to drinking anti-freeze. Ask a friend to share with you, but if that fails,

Put a steaming hot towel over your head or cool your brain with an ice pack.

Try to remember that it's just a bulletin board, and it's the best one around so it's all we've got.

When someone makes a grammar/spelling mistake, take a drink. Then write a post to kindly point it out.

The next day, when you notice the sadly ironic grammar/spelling mistakes in ALL your drunken posts, take a painkiller.

Every time somebody uses the phrase tu quoque, balance your glass on top of your head, shout "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!", and drain the glass.

Every time somebody uses a [Biased] or a [Razz] to mollify a truly foul insult, take a drink and tell everyone in the room you didn't.

Every time someone uses "Calvinist" to mean "a conservative evangelical whom I don't happen to like" take a drink. Every time that uses it of someone who in't really a Calvinist at all, eg. most Sydney Anglicans, take two drinks, have a lie down and refrain from putting your fist through the monitor.

I think Calvin would approve. One of his conditions of settlement in Geneva was a good cellar of wine.

p.s. he was trying not to have to accept the post.

Hmmmm.....it would be fun to see all of you sliding off your chairs and staggering around after taking those drinks.

All I would have to do is use all the phrases and smilies mentioned on this thread--all of them! If I had time, I could do it all in one post, and then we'd have to have a belly-up meet!

Bwahahahaha! [Devil] (what, no drinks for the devil smiley??)

I thought of one that's a few years out of date...

  • If Mousethief hands you a Mousethief Cooler, take a drink. (Duh)

Well, it made me laugh if that's any consolation.

Thank you. The comment was supposed to be a reference to the complexity of Calvinistic thought. At least, I find it complex, but YMMV. Clearly my "thread cred" isn't as high as I thought it was.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

If the bottom line of the profile reads Profile last updated by Erin take two drinks, with a chaser.

If the profile was last updated by Simon, drain both bottles.

Ok, two more for Hell:

If several people completely depart from the Op for two or three pages to discuss what Hell is for, how to navigate Hell, or what makes the Hellions cooler than any other shipmates, take three very large swigs of your favorite laxative.

If someone tells somebody else to "stay out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat" and then later gets inordinately offended over something really stupid, (or vice-versa), take a big mouthful then spit it right back in your glass.

(Circus)

if somebody gets genuinely offended on the Offended thread (hey, it's happened), take a drink of a Shirley Temple.

(Heaven)

If someone (for instance) hops onto a "favorite book/ movie" thread with no other contribution than "your favorite book/ movie sucks", take a drink of Zima. And like it.


All boards:

Every time shipmates discuss a hostly action on the thread itself rather than taking it to the Styx, send that host a bottle of their favorite libation. (sorry, pet peeve of mine.) [Big Grin]

(Circus)

If someone posts on a 'quote thread' using a movie/song/book quote that no normal person would have heard of, take a drink.

If someone actually guesses one of these obscure references correctly, take two drinks.

If someone quotes a book/song/movie and attributes the quote to the wrong person or misquotes, take a drink. Take two drinks if they argue when they are corrected.

(Hell)
When someone personally insults you and only succeeds in making themselves look like an ass, drain your bottle.

Whenever a newbie starts a Styx thread asking why a board such as Hell is necessary on a Christian website, take 3 drinks and, while you're at it, post a Hell call against that poster.

When someone quotes a post and adds "What he/she said", take a drink.
