I get mail from confused rookie drinkers...

Responding to my post on the Brent Musberger Drinking Game

I've got a way better drinking game for you. Check out http://fancylarry.blogspot.com for the rules to the finest drinking game this side of Pawtucket.


Ol' Fancy Larry just doesn't get it, kiddies.

Real drinking games are meant to be intellectual endeavors that also allow us to express our outrage (Musberger) or our admiration (Bob Newhart). They exist for the edification and intoxication of serious (not to say professional) imbibers.

Larry's game is inferior because it gleefully accepts the spilling of cold, delicious beer. While this tragedy is often unavoidable, it is a tragedy and must not be accepted so cavalierly.

Also, his game involves much unnecessay and dangerous physical activity that gets in the way of drinking. Combine this with the spilled beer,and you have a recipe for disaster. Real drinking games sit your butt in front of the tv and allow it to stay there.

Finally, the name "Shenanigans" is more than suspect. It sounds like the lounge at your friendly neighborhood Quality Inn.

I believe that Mr. Larry's game is not for real men. However, it does have potential as a spectator sport. I would watch if it were played by two teams of hot babes wearing tight t-shirts and even tighter shorts. (Of course, I'd watch poetry readings if they were like that.)

BTW...Larry, I'll vote for you if you're running against the McChurian Candidate, Senator War Hero.
