Gary England Drinking Game- REMIX for Dallas

Ladies and Gentlemen-

Those of us at the Townhouse are brave Oklahmans who grew up dealing with the force of nature called "the winter mix". The winter mix is freezing rain, sleet, snow and ice- this is something that strike cold fear into the hearts of all native Dallasites. We know this based on the fact that the city freaks out for 24 hours before the storm hits and the contingency plans for the roads start appearing before the first snowflake.

I "worked" from home today via e-mail and IM Chat, Lindsay spent the morning at work and braved her way home. Chris is somewhere between Addison and Kansas City. He has tickets somewhere excellent inside the stadium to witness OUs hopeful domination of the cornhuskers.

Gary England is a beloved meteorologist in Oklahoma due to one of Okahoma's two seasons-Football and Tornado. We have now modified this game to work for Dallas and the "wintry mix"

Rules:

Pregame: Everyone selects a field reporter, and favorite county (with the exception of Dallas) and tunes to the major network of their choice.

Game:
Take:
1 Drink every time the anchor talks to your field reporter
2 Drinks for footage of the reporter reporting
4 Drinks if your reporter says "jack-knifed semi"

1 Drink if your county is named
2 Drinks for footage of your county (your reporter doesn't have to be reporting about your county- or vice versa)
4 Drinks for a jack-knifed semi in your county

1 drink every time meteorologist says any of the following:
Artic Blast
Freezing Rain
Sleet
Morning Commute
School closings likely
overpass
UT Dallas Opening Late
accumulation

2 drinks every time metorologist says any of the following:
icy conditions
worsening road conditions
3 car pile-up
Canada (this is crucial and any mention of a deviation of "canada" counts i.e. canadian"

3 drinks:
black ice
The "High-Five"
3-6 inches (dont be dirty minded kids!)


Stand by as we attempt to blog this amazing game. Its a challenge, and we are off to the liquor store. Bring on the Peppermint Schnapps.

If nothing else someone will blog tomorrow. Stay safe and warm kids. Watch out for Jack-knifed semis!

i am awesome

i get bored. sometimes i get really bored. it is during these times that i go looking for trouble. trouble meaning something completely useless and a waste of time. this time, however, i had a very productive bored spell. i have come to the conclusion that i am amazingly talented. and to think all this madness started with me saying "i bet i can fit in the cabinet." so without further ado here is the documented proof of the awesomeness that is me.



but wait, that is not all. i am also quite skilled in the art of crawling through doggy doors. that is right, i can fit through the doggy door. thus inspired by my discovery, we started doggy door racing. lindsay was crowned queen of the flap. while my time of 8 seconds was not enough to crown me king, it was enough to avoid being the caboose aka liz. i demand a rematch.




love,
chris
