The Don Taylor Play-By-Play Drinking Game
Well as you all likely know by now, the most notable thing about last night's Sharks-Canucks pre-season game was that Don Taylor was doing the play-by-play. I thought he settled in pretty well after some early jitters, but judging by the Canucks.com boards oppinion was more mixed than that. One brilliant idea that made its way out of there, though, was that of a Don Taylor drinking game. Every time he says one of his regular Sportsnet News lines as part of the commentary you have to take a drink, with more unusal lines requiring more drinks. For example:
Refferences to players' old jersey numbers ("and there goes so-and-so wearing so-and-so's old number 22")-1 drink
"Brouhaha"-1 drink
"Boondoggle"-1 drink
"The _______-ian spinorama"-1 drink
"With a rapier-like glove hand"-1 drink
"In _________-ian fashion"-1 drink
"They're loving it in _______" 1 drink
"Gingerly"-1 drink
"Bulges the twine"-2 drinks
"Ripples the mesh"-2 drinks
"Top shelf where mom keeps the peanut butter"-2 drinks
"Markus Naslund skating like a modern day _________."-2 drinks
(in Marv Albert voice)"And it WAS a GORGEOUS move"-3 drinks
"Nyayahay"-down the whole bottle. Seriously, if he lets one of these out randomly during a play-by-play it will be one of the greatest moments in Canucks announcing history.
Any I missed? Thanks to the guys at the canucks.com message boards for reminding me of many of these.
