Plus, we be drinkin' rum according to this here Pirates of the Caribbean drinking game. Rule 1: Choose your pirate from the list below, and whenever someone says their name or any variation thereof, drink.
Rule 2: Whenever Will does something well-intentioned, but nonetheless goofy, shout AVAST! And drink. Rule 3: Whenever Barbossa uses unnecessarily big words, shout out the longest word you can think of. Whoever's word is the longest gets to make the others drink. Preparing words in advance is CHEATING Rule 4: Whenever Captain Jack Sparrow gives a nonsensical or unlikely answer to a simple question, shout "Savvy" and drink. Rule 5: Whenever Rule 6: When Mr. Gibbs takes a swig from his flask, shout "'Tis Bad Luck!" and drink. If the flask is empty, see rule 10 (AKA Why is the rum gone?). Rule 7: Whenever parley is called, the group must take a vote. Whoever is elected must drink the agreed upon amount. Rule 8: When you see something taken directly from the ride, shout "Dead Men Tell No Tales" and drink. Rule 9: When the cursed pirates change back and forth from zombie
form in the moonlight, shout either "Pirate Ghosts!" or "Ghost Pirates!",
whichever you prefer, but be prepared to defend your answer. "Zombie" may be substituted for "Ghost" as desired. Rule 10: When anyone finishes their drink and needs a refill, they shout "Why is the rum gone?" and everyone else must finish their drinks and refill as well. |

Sometimes, the perfect way to spend an evening is just to sit back with a few good friends, pop in a DVD and just spend the next couple hours talking, laughing, and joking around. Well, now you can do it with Christiana and Mike! This time around, they mixed up some themed drinks and watched Disney's The Black Hole! The Drinks: The Black Hole (A "real" drink) 1 1/2oz Black Sambuca (Not interchangable with regular Sambuca), Club Soda and Ice The Black Hole EXTREEEEME! Blavod Black Vodka and Mountain Dew: Code Red The Maximilian Captain Morgan "Tattoo" Rum, and Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla Note: The dinner banquet scene skipped a little on my disc during the recording, so you may need to resync the show and the film after that scene. No more than a few seconds difference. |
