"Rob Liefeld drinking game"


I guess this Comic Store called the Million Year Picnic in Cambridge, MA created a fun Drinking Game based on Rob Liefeld comics.















Rules:

Read any comic both drawn and written by Rob Liefeld (X-Force, Youngblood, Brigade, etc.)

Take 1 drink for every time the following occur:

clenched teeth
mouth open really wide in battle cry
action shot where background is just abstract colored space
leg of running/jumping character positioned so that you can only see thigh
spray of bullets that doesn't hit anybody
large gun that shoots colored blasts of indeterminate nature
character or team moves into/out of another dimension or otherwise warps
character seeming to fly, who cannot actually fly
character who is not invulnerable casually jumps out of plane/space ship
indoor floor that is colored green, silver or red

Bonus round: when a new "team" of enemies or allies is introduced, take 1 drink for each correctly-predicted member:

exactly one big guy
exactly one woman
exactly one flying guy
exactly one character with black and white face makeup
exactly one robot (robotic nature may not be immediately obvious)
exactly one black guy with gun and no discernible powers
white male leader, regular size, with gun and no discernible powers

In addition, 1 drink must be taken for every team member who wears segmented metallic rings around their arm-shoulder joints.

The maximum number of drinks for a new team appearance, 14, has been documented (during a reading/drinking of Brigade #2). The successful completion of any Rob Liefeld issue under these rules, however, has never been recorded.

(I stole from a blog called Ben & Alice. I think only my Comic Book friends will get a laugh from this post. I love Liefeld's campy art and two dimensional characters. Lots of fun.)
