The OS Editor's Drinking Game

Rate: 25 Flag

After reading Jake's plea, and the comments thereafter, I have come to the conclusion that the only possible way to survive being the editor of OS is to turn it into a drinking game.  I suspect it's already been done, and that Mr. Sugarman and his friends have a many a fun time recounting stories of our collective idiocy creativity at NYC's varied drinking establishments.

 Just in case he hasn't formalized it, or needs new ideas, I present The OS Editor's Drinking Game.  You can play along at home!

1.  A post uses the phrase "love Open Salon" : 2 sips

2.  A comment uses the word "meta" : 1 sip

3.  Private messages using the words "bully," "harass," "alter," "crazy," or "afraid": 1 sip for each use.

4.  Post or comment referring to OS as a family : Finish your drink, dad.

5.  Requested account deletion by someone in a huff : 2 sips

6.  Requested reinstatement by any person who requested deletion per #5 : Finish your drink.

7.  Title of a post contains the name of an OS member : Shot of tequila.

8.  Title of a post contains the name of an OS member and it's "Margaret" : 2 shots of tequila.

9.  Comment or post uses the term "slippery slope" : Drink a Slippery Nipple.

10.  Any public reference to you on OS as Sugarcube, Sugarcheeks, Sugarbun or other sweet treats : Shot of rum

11.  The entire cover, including Most Viewed and Top Rated, contains no posts about Open Salon or the actions of its members in regard to OS:
Buy a round for the bar!  (Don't worry, this will never happen)

Cheers!!!

I absolutely loved that last one and yeah, you're right, it'll never happen. Lord I wouldn't have Jake's job for all the tea in China.
i would love to drink sugarcube (sorry ,man...i made an honest
comment on yer blog...)
under the table
and hypnotize his ass to sober editorial magisterial duty.
he looks like a lightweight.
no problem.

os is a family of fearful slippery slopers, jake.
(here is what i would say)
yknow, they call ya sugarcakes
but sugar is what is needed..a good man at the helm..
a man who loves os...
with good hard extended family love,
which is coming back into style
due to economic collapse, whatnot, haw.

ok i am a bit tipsy. but i sprech..sorry..german coming out..
speak zee truth, yo. you.
uh
how ya doin on yer what is that?
oh yeah ok..

uh the point was..the magic is gotta be nutured by
a gardener like figure.

you are the Guard, and the Guardian too . ha see?

scuse me. gotta tinkle.
lissen sugarbaby, i meant 'lightweight' not smartswise,
but drinking.
You're funny!

I better go spice up my posts, or else I'll be drinking milk. I hate milk.

Want to bet that Jake and Emily have had at least one bitching phone call?!
How many shots will he need just for this post??
HAHAHAHAHA...

What if someone mentions THEY WERE A BETA MEMBER?

Sugarbritches is one sweet peach ain' he.. Thx for the laugh Kpatch

@David, I think you'd be a perfect editor. You're used to stubborn mules!
@James, nice to see you again. Garden, guardin', guardian. Love it!
@greenheron, all you have to do it spot the items to avoid the milk. Just the comments here should keep you in cocktails for at least an hour or two!
@nfscd, you should be asking how many it took to write it!
@tr ig - Beta Member : Boilermaker!!!!
Liver transplants would be common if this game took hold. Liked number four the best.
When do they get to drink a Slippery Dick? That banana liqueur is yummy.
Very funny stuff. ~r
You're assuming he reads our stuff? Wow, never thought of that! Time for a beer...
No kidding. It's like being in the hallway between classes in a middle school. He said, she said. Boring and annoying. I thought people actually wrote stuff worth reading here.
Brilliant! Thank you!
@Jan Wilberg ~ Here's some stuff worth reading: I Love Writers
Maybe. I shall substitute Canadian whisky for tequila.
I'm sure they have to drink something. Is there medical marijuana in NY? No matter, there's always Xanax, that's how I'd get through it.

I'd like to know if he gets more or less than 100 emails a day.
How about a diet coke (with rum for some) for every blogoversary celebration?
I'm headed for a brutal hangover tomorrow. Should have waited till Friday to read this.
Good game! But since my drink is beer, I intend to slurp, not sip!

;-)

This is funny. Of course everyone will be drunk all the time. Wait. what? Oh yeah...business as usual.
Very clever; well played, K. R
This is good enough to be viable
Love this, is it time to buy a round yet?
I'm laughing...but also kind of worried that my blogoversary post from yesterday could put Jacob into an alcohol-induced coma.....
" Post or comment referring to OS as a family : Finish your drink, dad."

SWEET!

*finishes his drink* ONE MORE!! SUGAR CUBE MARGARET!!!!

~passes out~ :D
They have groups for that...E.P.P. Rated
