If you feel that FriendofGod’s postings leave you without that much entertainment during Spring Break, fear not! The list below is a good start for those who imbibe. (Not to mention it reminds me a lot of the old “Bob” game {you had to down your brew whenever one of the cast said “Bob” whilst you were watching an episode of the Bob Newhart Show}.)
FoG, a Drinking Game. This one’s perfect for both San Francisco (my favourite town) and Marina (my current abode) due to the weather.
Rule One: Everyone has to be a drinker. No teetotalers; well, except for the designated driver.
Rule Two: Whoever wants to ask FoG a query has to down their beer cup & then post. Alternative Rule Two: Write some posters’ UserIDs on cards and toss the cards into a hat. Each player pulls a card and then “suffers” the consequences listed below for each FoGesque response to the actual poster. The designated driver (obviously, this should be a certified EMT!) will then pick the threads to use for the game. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: None of the players will pretend, online, to be the users.
Rule Three: If FoG ignores your post, down one beer cup.
Rule Four: If he calls you rude, down two.
Rule Five: If he ignores you and calls you rude in the same post, down three
Rule Six: If he answers a question you didn’t ask in response to the one you did ask, down four.
Rule Seven: If he lies in a post, you can either (a) designate another player to down their beer cup, or (b) “save” the event for a later FoGesque response, thereby exempting you from the stipulated number of beer cups for it. After all, we don’t want anyone to kick off over this.
** Rule Eight**: If he admits he’s full of it; well, don’t worry…that’ll never happen.
Rule 9: Every time he says something like “Gosh-doodly-darn” or “Hi-dilly-ho”, or makes reference to his kids Rodd and Todd, you must chug the whole bottle.
If he leaves, saying that his “research on the behavior of heathens online” is finished, you must drink your cup, and the cups of all other players. You must then repeat the process when he shows up again a few months later.
If he suggests a film that you’d otherwise never heard of as being one that will “change your life,” drink three cups and challenge him to watch The Last Temptation of Christ.
Mister Speaker, I move that the rulemaking process be now closed, on the premise that the citizens of the SDMB will be unable to type with the addition of further rule-making.
I would also like to add one further amendment, to wit:
in all cases where “down a beer,” “drain your cup,” or similar language has been included, allow the substitution of bong hits.
In addition, I believe it should be the sense of the SDMB that exemplary posts on the part of FoG should be posted here for efficient access to FoG’s actions without having to endure his bullshit, and for purposes of posterity.
I yield the remainder of my time back to the Speaker, with reservation.
The Speaker (aka “OP” (and I don’t mean Opie!)) recognizes your motion, and its potential. On the other hand FoG, who has incorrectly named himself “Friend” of God, has recently on the SDMB begun to act as though he’s a member of the Godhead, thus a more correct* UserID would be F[sub]ourth[/sub]o[sub]f[/sub]G[sub]od[/sub].
Given the above, would the esteemed poster known as Sofa King agree that it is unfair to the Teeming Millions[sup]TM[/sup] to close the rule-making process before they have a reasonable time allotted to them to make use of this new, and correct* UserID to make ground-breaking rules in the arduous task of assisting the Teeming Millions[sup]TM[/sup] approach a state, any state, in which the pathetic attempts at sanity posted by F[sub]ourth[/sub]o[sub]f[/sub]G[sub]od[/sub] may even seem as though they belong to a known language of Terra[sup]3[/sup]?
The Chair returns this debate to the committee of the whole for further deliberation.
By “correct,” I obvioiusly mean what F[sub]ourth[/sub]o[sub]f[/sub]G[sub]od[/sub] would have us believe, not actually what is, in reality, correct.
Mr. Speaker, in light of this heretofore unknown to me disclosure, I cannot in good conscience allow the entreats of the right honorable Speaker from the Great State of California to go unnoticed.
I therefore retract my motion to close the rulemaking process, but I must point out that the weekend is quickly eroding, and urge that our fellow participants settle remaining matters will all due alacrity. We cannot know when the centerpiece of our endeavor shall rear his friendly head next, and it would be most unfortunate to miss our earliest opportunity to commence the event.
As such, I offer another amendment, to wit:
Let us recognize the entity of the poster formerly known as FriendofGod in all of his forms, be it Friend, Fourth, Holy Ghost, or other such manifestations as may be appropriate
And I once again urge that the rules be finalized quickly, the better to get our esteemed drink on.
Mr. Speaker, I further ask that my first amendment and my “sense of the SDMB” be included in the final document. I feel they cannot but help contribute to the overall cynicism of the project.
The Chair again recognizes the poster from the Chair’s former home county, Arlington, in the Old Dominion, and concurs with the poster’s astute recommendations.
For further information as to why these recommendations should be considered with all due speed, please note that F[sub]ourth[/sub]o[sub]f[/sub]G[sub]od[/sub] has now, in the Great Debates Forum, in the thread most erroneously entitled “Yet Another Movie That Might Change Your Life … or At Least Make You Think,” posted the following:
This seems to the Chair to evidence that there may, in fact, be Divine Guidance for (or at least Divine Pity on) the Teeming Millions[sup]TM[/sup].
Lest the Committee of the Whole think the Chair has completely lost it, the following was also posted immediately after that by the very same F[sub]ourth[/sub]o[sub]f[/sub]G[sub]od[/sub].
Is there no Divine Fast Forward Button to speed his departure?
Mr. Speaker, can we consider this to be an organic set of rules, and commence directly to fuckin’ boozing? I believe that outstanding matters should be set aside in light of the active nature of our subject. I believe the right is yours, sir, to pose the first question to The Spirit, though I chomp at the bit to ask mine own.
Let us deliberate no further! Fire the shot across the bow, my friend!
