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.

If you see botched UBB code from someone with less than 100 posts, take a drink. If it's from someone with over 100 posts, take two. Unless you're a host on that board, in which case you can drain your glass.

If the botched code is by a fellow host, correct it, and then mock them unmercifully in your [ETA: ]

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 or a to mollify a truly foul insult, take a drink and tell everyone in the room you didn't. [ 06. January 2008, 00:03: Message edited by: Kelly Alves ]

If they actually admit to being wrong, break out your snowblower. Hell has frozen over.

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.

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]](biggrin.gif)

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.

The Wanderer - I took no offense, and I'm sorry that it came off that I did, I found your post humerous. Calvinism makes all our heads spin occasionally, as do many other -isms; I just don't like it used as an insult especially when misapplied, which is not what you were doing.
Jengie Jon - if Calvin is mentioned, take a glass of wine. - if Luther is mentioned, grab a beer. - if Zwingli is mentioned, buy Zwingli a beer.

For Purg:
Whenever one of the Orthodoxen assert they are the One True Church and the West is fallen/heretical/has cooties, take a shot of Ouzo or Vodka, depending on the source. This may require two shots.
If one of the Roman Catholics mentions they are the One True Church, down some Marsala or Port.
If one of the Anglicans asserts they are the One True Church, drink a shot of Gin.
If one of the Reformed says they are the One True Church, down a shot of whisky. No water, that's cheating. It's full Presbyterian Fire for you.

When you see someone accuse someone else of doing something, and then they do that thing themselves, take a drink.
If they try to justify why it is okay for them to do X but not for the other person, take two drinks.
Drain your bottle if they actually manage to convince anyone or sound coherent.
