The Ten Commandments Drinkng Game

I hope everyone got tipped last night during one of my favorite annual drinking events: The airing of "The Ten Commandments" on ABC!

If you've never played before, it is very simple. You need to take a drink everytime Moses says "bondage" or "the Lord". After everything Yul Brenner says, you must add "et cetera et cetera et cetera" and take a drink. After everything that Edward G Robinson says you have to add "See!" and take a drink. And each time a frustrated Moses looks to the heavens for guidance you must scream "DAMN DIRTY APES!" and take a drink. It is also important that you copy every melodramatic physical gesture and create your own "orgy of the Golden Calf"- which is quite a challenge when you are watching it by yourself. In the last couple of years I have added jelly beans and little chocolate eggs to the celebration because I now have the added task of making sure the Easter Bunny hides the treats before he gets too drunk.

If you missed your chance this year, don't worry. Next year you will have plenty of opportunity to take part in this classic Old Testament drinking extravaganza. It goes on for hours and hours and you'd be surprised just how many times Charleton Heston has to say "bondage"!

Happy (*hiccup*) Easter!
