Dry July

Crucial

That one wasn’t very dry. A bit wet even.
Will try this one now.

Hope this is making @voodoo thirsty

@crucial I'm having the compulsory GnT on Mum's Bday now, may she be drinking heaps of them in Valhalla! That, and a few anniversaries of forces mates being killed means Dry July is a non fucking starter as far as I'm concerned!

Catogrande

@machpants To be honest, I think it was insensitive of @voodoo to have brought the subject up.

Paekakboyz

@catogrande in fact he should consume! @voodoo finish your vessel!

Bones

@paekakboyz pointing. Consume.

Fuck.

Actually probably a good thread for fave drinking games?

I'll roll out "Hey Gary" (think that's a Massey one) and "Musical instruments".

Crucial

It’s still July right?

ooh.. how did that one taste?

just north of Bologna up in the hills are these hiking tracks with little old stone pubs (some double as rustic hotels), in the woods, with rocket-proof grappe. I'd love to do some biking around there and spin some yarns with the locals over grappe, cognac and limoncello. Almost worth learning Italian for.

Slaps or 21 my favs

@voodoo Yeah Slaps is great too. Can you confirm Hey Gary is a Palmy thing?

Can't confirm we invented it, but certainly played it many times, and the compulsory monotone sure has an air of Palmy about it

6 glass? Whizza? I think the later is known by many names can't bounce a bounce or skip a skip!!

Broooo.... that's whiz, boing, bounce. You can bounce a bounce, but you can't boing a bounce. And a skip is a bounce.

Also played as yeehaaa, whoaback, fuck that sheep amongst other variations

I don't know of "Hey Gary"... rules please?
"Fingers on the glass" was a great one for soon after Uni, when I was broke, but drinking with a mate and his circle of moneyed up friends. So easy to finesse that I'd lose the right rounds to drink free piss, but never need to pay for one.

So good to have a New Year's party years after Uni, and bring out all the old drinking games. It's amazing how you slide straight back into instinctively using elbows for pointing, etc.

@kruse "Hey Gary"

Everyone is Gary....to start. Routine goes:

"Hey Gary" (Look at a Gary)
"Yeah Gary" (That Gary responds)
"Tell Gary" (nod/gesture at another Gary)

That's it. Any mistake or departure from the script and that person becomes "One Finger" and must hold a finger in front of one eye.

"Hey Gary"
"Yeah Gary"
"Tell One Finger"

"Hey Gary"
"Yeah One Finger"
"Tell Gary"

And so on. One Finger becomes two, becomes three, becomes four, becomes One Eye, One Eye One Finger....until No Eyes.

That's how I remember it.

Cheers.
But yeah, shit - I don't think I ever encountered that. Or, I was so bad at it that I don't remember.
Kinda similar to "Spots"... where every mistake is punished with a burnt wine-cork applied to the face, and therefore "No-Spots" becoming "1-Spot", "2-Spots", etc...

Bones

@kruse it sounds shit when you try explaining it to people, especially when everyone is Gary. All hell breaks loose once there's a finger in the mix though....

It seems not.
