Downton Crappy

Everyone and their mothers (and especially the mothers) have become enraptured in a new TV show called Downton Abbey, and my mom has been taken in by it. So I've sat through almost all of the third season, and I think I can now make an accurate judgement.

THIS SHOW IS BS. Seriously. Every single time I watch it, the same damn s**t is happening. There's a gay-ass butler who tried to make out with some dude while he was asleep. There's an ice queen woman who doesn't do anything but try to get pregnant and say 'Papa' instead of 'dad'. There's a creepy old butler whose entire acting credentials seem to involve looking indignant, and there's Maggie Smith as... well... Maggie Smith.

For those of you unacquainted with the show, I'm sure that sounded deranged. GOOD, because I'd hate to give you the wrong impression. And for those of you who DO watch this thing, well... I have devised the DOWNTON ABBEY DRINKING GAAAAAME!!!


• Every time someone cries, drink.
• Every time someone looks upon modern technology disapprovingly, drink.
• Every time there's a long-winded conversation about finances, drink.
• Every time someone says either 'mama' or 'papa', drink (down your drink if they say both in the same sentence).
• Every time there's a medical emergency, drink.
• Every time an exterior shot of the abbey causes you to say out loud "Damn, that's a big-ass house", drink.
• Every time a minor character from some old episode resurfaces with little to no explanation, drink.
• Every time someone goes through a dramatic and completely predictable character turnaround, drink twice. Graham Vert
• Every time Maggie Smith says some line that'll probably win her an award, drink twice.
• Every time Thomas does something gay and awkward, drink twice.
• Every time someone takes one in the 'nads, down your drink.
• Every time there's a spectacular action sequence, down your drink.
• Every time Lord Grantham yells "MOTHERF**KER", drink the bottle (this also works for "FORNICATOR OF MATRIARCHS").

Of course, this game will most likely result in all participants getting utterly s**tfaced drunk by the end, but hey, ain't no party like an early 20th century British party.

Bye!
