Drink: \*\*When \*\* someone uses an SDMB injoke (Hi Opal!, 1920s Style Death Rays, I Burning Your Dog) someone asks about an SDMB injoke someone rallies against the use of SDMB injokes. **For every** use of “I can’t believe this hasn’t already been mentioned!” use of SDMB acronyms (IANA-, DNFTT, etc.) lateral-thinking joke made about a thread title. “How do I get rid of a mole?” “Call a plastic surgeon!” post that begins with, “Am I the only one who…?” thread posted in the wrong forum by someone with more than 50 posts. and drink again if someone comes along and points out it’s the wrong forum within 2 posts. instance of “preview is my friend” OK, your turn. Let’s get drunk! ---

When someone asks about a number, drink once for every decimal place or order of magnitude. Drink when someone proposes a game. Cover your head and drink everything in sight if someone asks the ‘duck’ question. ---
