A great bar game, any number of people may play. High buzz factor. Supplies:
people and beer, the basics. But what's really important is to have someone who
knows all ten phrases.

The person who knows all the phrases begins, one phrase a time. The game
follows the same routine as the Twelve Days of Christmas. So, the sixth person
in the circle would have to repeat the sixth phrase, as well as the previous
five.

If you mess up a phrase you drink the number of phrases you had to complete,
and then start over at the first phrase. This continues until the game is
completed, saying all ten without screwing up.

The phrases are:

1 Big Chicken
2 Cute Ducks
3 Brown Bears
4 Hairy Running Hares
5 Fat Females Sitting, Sipping scotch, and smoking cigarettes
6 Sheets Slit by Sam the Sheet Slitter
7 Sexy Siamese Sailors sailing the seven seas
8 Echoing egotists echoing egotistical ecstasies
9 Naughty Knocked up Nuns navigating the Nigerian desert towards the
nunnery
10 fig pluckers plucking figs, I'm not a fig plucker or a fig pluckers son
but I'll pluck figs until the fig plucking's done!

Have fun.

This is a favorite drinking game, although it's often difficult to find people
willing to play it. Mid level buzz factor. Basic supplies only: people and
beer.

It starts with a room full of people, the more the merrier. The object is to
ask a question when it is your turn, but this is much more difficult than it
seems. The rules are:

1. Obviously, the infraction of any rule is punishable by a drink.

2. You can only ask one person one question at a time.

a. The person who asks the question must address the person queried by
name; no pointing. (newcomers to a crowd are allowed some leeway until
they learn names.) b. The questions must be answerable by <> or <>. (This
rule is optional, but be certain beforehand if it will be observed.)

3. The person asked the question must immediately ask another person

a. Any hesitation, answering the question, laughing, or doing anything
else besides asking somebody else a question is punishable by a drink. b.
Asking a question back at the person who asked is punishable by a drink.
c. Any question can be asked only once. Simply rephrasing somebody else's
question is a cheat. A person who repeats a question must take a drink.

Other notes:

If the crowd cracks up (after, for example, a spectacularly personal question),
a <> is called.

The best way to play is to keep a question or two rolling around in your head,
to be spewed out after you are asked a question. Good questions are the
innocent sounding ones: <> <> <>

The other best way to play is to get personal (the game usually descends to
this level fairly quickly): <> <> <> <>

You can see the game demonstrated (after a fashion) in the tennis court scene
in _Rosencrantz_and_Guilderstern_Are_Dead_.
