Saturday Surprise — a (virtual) drinking game

October 24, 2020

It’s a stupidly cold, lonely, snowy Saturday — I’m here by the fireplace with my dog, feeling a little sorry for myself, truth be told. Mr. James is working, my kiddos live far away, I haven’t gotten to see any of my James Gang or gone to any conferences in 2020 and I MISS IT. I miss hanging out and laughing with my friends, meeting new readers and generally pretending I’m a 22 year old who can dance till midnight and drink until dawn.

So let’s play a virtual drinking game of NEVER HAVE I EVER, shall we?

I am a SUCKER for these types of quizzes, seriously.

Pretend you’re in the bar with me and a bunch of other totally fun people. Take the quiz and be honest! For every point you get, you have to take a shot (or if you’re a nondrinker, for every point you have to make someone else do a shot)

My booze of choice today would be….white rum…yum… and I’d be taking 5 shots for #1,#4,#8,#22,#25

Here’s the quiz:

 

NOW, in the comments, tell me what you scored and how many shots you’d be taking (or giving) and your liquor of choice and if you’re feeling extra share-y tell me which ones gave you a point 🙂

You guys rock, thanks for stopping by today!

XOXO~

    OMG, I’m going to be staggering around the place like crazy! I’ll need to line up 14 shots for this! Some of those things I would like to try (zip-lining for one–but then I figure with my lack of love for heights–esp. without something solid beneath me–I’d chicken out rapidly!) but some of them–never! Braces & tattoo…Nope! Given Birth–never going to happen now, too late for that! And I’ll be kind to the world & stay well away from Karaoke! Not only am I tone-deaf, so is my voice!

    So, #’s 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, 22, 24, 27, 28 And the liquor of choice…hmmm…tequila…or brandy…maybe scotch. All depends on my mood, who’s with me…and what’s available in the closet!

      I just remembered; my Camp Fire troop was on a local kids show, oh so many decades ago. So taking #27 off the list of never have I… so only 13 shots needed! I don’t think that’s much better. I’m thinking of the first time we see Marian in Raiders of the Lost Ark–doing shots in a drinking contest… I think I’ll wind up like her opponent!

    8 shots of scotch! (#s 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 19, 20, 28). Bombed!!!!! But don’t feel I missed out because most of the others look just fine on my resume of life! I’ve also done some really cool other stuff you don’t list, like skinned a bear, went moose hunting, drove a 1936 Model A Ford downtown St. Paul, drove a Rolls Royce, have been mayor of my town, all among other odd-ball accomplishments!

    6, and my liquor of choice is Jameson’s Whiskey. Do I have to do them all in one night?
    Guess I can use my Texas Size Shot Glass, it holds like 7 shots. My husband will have to pick me up off the floor. We’ve got the fire going and supposed to snow tomorrow. Hope so because the fires here in Colorado are bad, one is about 20 miles from us and the other two are within 2 hours of us. I live in Northwest Colorado.

    I drink to you 13 shots of Kahlua, that should tell you I’m a little left
    of center.
    They are: 4-6-7-8-9-11-14-15-16-20-21-23-29.
    But how many have ridden in a private Golfstream 550.
    Been in private helicopter all around Aspen.
    Had a Presidential invitation to inauguration in Washington DC.
    Been dinner guest of the Admiral aboard the USS America.
    I’ve been bad and really good and have lived a life that most only dream of and as I come to the end I can say I would do it all again
    But now I live thru your wonderful books please keep writing your way don’t change

    19 shots! Yikes! This really feels either like I’ve done way too many things. I couldn’t do 19 shots when I was younger. I’m gonna need multiple friends to help with this. Having said that my shot of choice would definitely be a dirty Girl Scout.

    1. Beth said:

      Phew! I reread that and I only have to drink for the things I hang done! 9 shots is so much better that 19. No doable but better.

    6 shots of Jamesons Whiskey for me. I’ve never fired a gun, afraid of heights so no skydiving, but I did zipline (go figure), never sung karaoke, claustrophobic so no scuba diving for me, tried snorkeling in Belize but couldn’t make it past getting in the water, stayed on the boat and drank rum runners, never been on TV and I’ve never been on a cruise.

    5! I had skydiving and scuba diving on my bucket list growing up but breaking my leg waterskiing cancelled those out. I am afraid of landing when skydiving and afraid of deep water after the accident.
    Also, I have never had braces, sung karaoke or met anyone famous.

    I wasn’t sure how to answer the Ambulance – I’ve been in one, more than once. But not as a patient. I was a volunteer firefighter, and I was in one to help get injured into the back. Oh what the heck, I’ll take a shot anyway. Whooo!

    11 shots of gin – preferably Tanqueray, with just a hint of tonic and lime thrown in.

    Among others, I’ve never had anything pierced, no tats, no massages, no sushi, and no cruises. No tickets, either, but I have had to talk with the officer a few times!

I started to say that I’d never be able to take more than one shot at any given time but we both know that’s not true. Those Cowboy Cocksuckers of yours are 3 shots at one time and I’ve had at least 2 of those babies a few times when partying with you and the rest of the James Gang.
