Game On
Ok, after our week from hell, this past weekend was a total blow-off. Saturday we hung out with some family and then some friends. Very nice. Sunday, after watching the Broncos get spanked by the Colts (kind of funny if you think about the namesakes of each team), was all about trash TV. While perusing the listings on my Mythbox, I spotted a real gem: Atomic Twister! Just check out this description: Tornadoes threaten to cause a meltdown at a nuclear-power plant in a small Southern town. Sweet. It doesn't get much better than that.
But oh yes it does. While we were finishing up the football game and waiting for enough of the show to record to make skipping commercials possible, my better half started giggling. Oh no, she was hatching an idea. After I asked her a few times what she was laughing about she announced the plan:The Sci-Fi/Action/Disaster Movie Drinking Game.

The Rules
I only made it through two beers during Atomic Twister. It could have been much worse.

The Playing Field
To prove it, we took a dinner break then started in on Stargate. This film was BRUTAL. Because of the number of times the title was mentioned in the film we instituted the "Buy 5, get one free" rule. I finished 3 vodka and kool-aids on that one.


The Contestants
Fun times. Though Martini-dog was not amused - probably because she didn't get to play.

The Referee
Up next: Lost in Space!
