    @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...

    @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....

    I do quite like how the Fern took a "is anybody going to abstain booze for a month" thread,
    and where the correct answer was just a single "no",
    ... the thread has actually become a near celebration on how much everybody else is drinking, has drunk, will be drinking, and every other method of encouraging binge-drinking.
    If I was a fucking nerd, I'd be saying... "This is the way".

    It's our subtle way of telling @voodoo to go fuck himself.

    Tonight at the gt12's, we are enjoying a nice Barbera d'Asti, and I have a new bottle Calvados just arrived, so that will make for a nice digestif.

    Happy dry July 1st Friday lads.

    Keep on keeping on bro.

    I don’t drink, but being a Warriors fan has almost tipped me over. So don’t watch Warriors games during July…

    ooh.. how did that one taste?

    This stuff is a fantastic unknown. Didn’t realise anyone in NZ was making it until I went to order some cider.
    To make this they must also be making some very nice “calvados” as well. Pommeau is a mix of calvados and apple juice which is then aged in oak for at least two years.
    I like it straight but traditionally an aperitif. Can have over ice with soda or cider. Topped up with champagne is very good too.

    @kruse "Hey Gary"

    I work with a couple of Gary's. I gree tthem with 'hey gary', and smile quietly to myself... neither has ever heard of the drinking game (or other people I work with, either).

    it's the little jokes that get you through the day

    I had to had a couple of Emersons to wash down the ribs at Lone Star last night, she was a struggle, but I finished them (the ribs were a struggle, beers went down too easily)

    Oh, good on you though @voodoo er, better man than I 🙂 although what was you reason for doing this?

    Just need to get a bit healthier. Been drinking way too much, am carrying too many kgs.

    Likely I won't last the distance, but if I can do a chunk of it then it's got to help!

    Hopefully you're not replacing the drinking with eating.

    We played Peter Plumley Walker (the drinking game, we didn't dupe him into being bound in a cupboard - that was someone else) in Dunedin.

    Simple premise...
    You replace the Roman numerals with parts of his name:
    I = Peter
    V = Plumley
    X - Walker

    Everyone sits in a circle and you start going round the circle with people counting up in Roman numeral styles:
    Person 1 = "Peter"
    Person 2 = "Peter Peter"
    Person 3 - "Peter Peter Peter"
    Person 4 - "Peter Plumley"
    Person 5 - "Plumley"
    Person 6 - "Plumley Peter"
    ... And so on
    Person 11: "Walker Peter"
    Person 14: "Walker Peter Plumley"

    Whoever fucks up the numbers has to drink and they start the count again.

    What happens when you get near 50? Good question - we never got close.
