Take a sip every time someone skates to “Requiem for a Dream”. Oops, passed out after the third warm-up group…

VERY cute…thanks Laura!!!

Here’s a few more…

Take a sip every time Flatt is noted as the “technical” skater, while Nagasu is the “artist.”

Finish your drink everytime any skater (particularly a woman) is referred to by Hamilton as “The Future of Skating” (ie: Nagasu).

AWESOME Laura… you’re on fire lately!!

I wish I could add even more, but damn, you and the others have nailed this so well. (I may be back if I get a brainstorm, though…)

Also meant to ask...

Laura- did you ever see the Dick Button (or Scott Hamilton, or Peter Carruthers) Drinking Games that circulated on the web about 10-12 years ago? I think they’re probably still out there… also hilarious!! (if not quite as apropos now…

These suggestions are all perfect, thank you!!! I do NOT want to sit through Requiem for a Dream anymore, ugh!

Kelli, I did indeed see a Dick Button drinking game out there, it’s cute…
