I didn’t think this should go in CS, since I’m not discussing the show _per se_. If I’m wrong… I’m wrong.

Anywho, I’m a big fan of LOST, and thought that there should be a good drinking game based on the series. I googled ‘lost drinking game’, and only found 2 others, both of which were inferior to my own.

Warning, may be spoilers!

I’m open to suggestions, and I’ll add the ones I like to the site.

Take a drink everytime it shows Kate’s butt. I guarantee you you will be shitfaced 15 minutes into any episode.

Your link doesn’t open for me.

I’m sure you have provisions for when Michael yells “WAAAAAAAAAALT!” and whenever Sawyer gives someone a nickname.

Links works fine for me.  
I like your suggestions. Keep em coming.

The Kate’s butt thing is not something I just made up off the top of my head. Trust me. Watch the show. Someone in the camera crew is a serious buttman and/or is in love with Evangeline Lilly’s hindquarters.

You watch an episode, drink the confusion away, and tell your brother to let you know WTF the deal was when they wrap the whole thing up? 😉

The links not working for me either. I wonder if it has anything to do with pop-up blockers?

Anyway, I’m game!  
I don’t even drink really, but anything that involves Lost (even Evangeline Lilly’s bum) can’t be bad.

</div>

Not working for me either. I’ll suggest a rule anyways.

If they aren’t showing a new episode in favor of a rerun, drink a fifth. If it’s the second week in a row of reruns, that’s two fifths.

I don’t know what to tell 'ya. It’s a simple URL with no popups. I can’t imagine why it isn’t working. What sort of error are you getting?

You need to close your “title” tag in the header of the page.

You have this:

```auto

<title>LOST Drinking Game

```

Make it this:

```auto

<title>LOST Drinking Game</title>

```

Ok. I fixed the title tag. :smack:

It’s a wonder I manage to tie my own shoes in the morning…

Take a drink whenever:

- Kate has a worried look, with a random lock of hair falling down in front of her face.
- Jack and Locke argue about guns, the TCM, the Others, or something in the hatch.
- Locke yells at the island, “What do you want me to do?!!”
- Charlie acts like a total git. (wait, scratch that. We’ll all be in A.A. in no time).
- **CynicalGabe** manages to tie his own shoes in the morning. 😉
