Blind Justice Drinking Game

[shmeep]

On April 28 (after Past Imperfect) I was in a silly mood and posted the following drinking game over at Televisionwithoutpity.com (the board that hosts one of my favorite threads, "Little House on the Prairie: Pa, Ma, and that mime that raped Sylvia"...but that's a whole other discussion). It's very dumb, so try not to hold that against me. Here's what I posted:

I have noticed a disturbing lack of snark on this thread of late so, speaking as a true and VERY loyal fan of the show, I propose a:

Blind Justice Drinking Game

Take a drink every time:

1) A cop uses improper grammar.
2) Jim rubs his lower lip and looks worried.
3) Jim inexplicably removes his sunglasses.
4) Jim inexplicably puts on his sunglasses.
5) Jim projects his feelings onto Hank.
6) Karen is skeptical of Jim but does whatever he wants.
7) Jim threatens someone with bodily harm.
8) Jim does that shrugging-with-his-face look before answering a question.
9) Christy doesn’t enunciate.
10) Something is blurred or bleeped for no apparent reason.
11) Jim says he’s “working a hunch.”
12) Someone in the squad mentions that a subject being interviewed needs to “cool off” after not getting the desired result from the conversation.
13) Jim has a completely different expression in his close-up shot than he had a split-second before in his further-away shot (or vice versa).
14) The Boss pre-emptively scolds Jim for something he hasn’t done yet.
15) Karen tries to make eye-contact with Jim.
16) Jim leaves Hank unattended.
17) Karen leaves an interview after getting a statement and announces to the room what kind of food the perp wants.
18) Hank reads Jim’s mind, knowing exactly where Jim wants to go without receiving any commands.
19) Christy gets jealous of Hank.
20) Jim’s weird CGI imagination kicks in.
21) Someone tells Jim how beautiful his wife is.
22) Someone tells Jim they read about him.
23) Jim is right.
24) Jim smells something.
25) Christie wipes imaginary dandruff from Jim's shoulders.

There are a few things I would change now, having seen the entire series, and some things that can absolutely be added.

I wasn't planning on re-posting this anywhere, but since it was brought up, I figured I might as well. After reading through it again, I am grateful not to like alcohol.

And don't forget:

-- Jim cracks his neck
-- Marty asks someone, "What was that all about" or words to that effect
-- Christy does an emotional 180
-- Someone mimes, motions or whispers so Jim won't know

Thanks, shmeep! It's just as funny the second time around, and doobrah's additions are great, too!

I would add The Eldard Lip Bite. But it is your game, and I love it!

How many tequila bottles do I need for this? LOLOL It would be fun if we actually played it!

How about when Jim or Christie say "I guess I"m not in the mood for a conversation." OR "I wasn't looking to have a conversation." They never want to have a conversation and that line has come up several times. First time in the pilot when he's sitting on the counter at home. Another time was when Christie was storming out of the house with her briefcase I think.

I've been laughing over shmeep's drinking game again and wanted to add:
Take a drink:
Everytime Christy tells Jim, "Did you ever think for a second that.........."
The dance instructor picked on Jim and/or Christy.
The dance instructor played "Call me irresponsible"
Marty actually put a good shirt/tie combo together.
The apartment scene begins with a close up of the goldfish.
Somebody asks Jim if he was born blind.
Pigeons paraded in the background.

Take a drink every time Karen goes into the Von Trapp "So Long Farewell" formation behind whomever she is interrogating.



Take a drink every time Karen tries to finagle a confession out of someone by telling them they way they committed their crime could work in their favor because something about it might lesson jail time.

[hoosier]

Here's a few I came up with--

for Shmeep--when one of the characters says 'absolutely"

every time Jim gets a beer from the fridge

when Jim puts in or takes out the earplug for his computer

each time Fisk askes Jim "are you sure about this?'

every time you see someone carrying a cup of coffee--use caution with this one!!!

We will all be too drunk to continue drinking in just the first 15 minutes of an episode!

Not only is a drink in order, but a toast, when Jim says: "I thought you were Groovy," to Tom.

Did everyone hear the cork pop?

Yeah, it's a champagne moment.
