Just In Time For The Weekend: The Science Blogging Drinking Game

What do you get when you combine science blog reading and drinking? You get the Science Blogging Drinking Game! Two great activities that taste great together.

Okay, so there are a lot of rules. And 30 minutes into the game it will quickly become more challenging to read. But once you get going you're sure to catch on. Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice and Sunsets assumes no responsibility for absurd, lewd, crude, or otherwise gibberish blog posts or comments that result from playing the game. Oh, and liver damage is no laughing matter. Apologies to all the science bloggers not mentioned, but I decided to just take a random sample from my RSS reader.

Bottoms Up!

Take a drink if:
• Greg Laden writes fewer than four posts a day on Greg Laden's Blog (Chug if at least two posts have something to do with science)
• Pondering Pikaia features any down-home, deep-south, or Alabama reference
• Kevin drops the "F-bomb" on The Other 95% or Deep Sea News
• Mark Powell uses "IMO" anywhere on Blogfish (Chug if he uses "IMHO")
• PZ Myers uses the word "feculent" to disemvowel a critic or other annoying individual on Pharyngula
• Jason posts a Pucker and Bloat cartoon on Cephalopodcast
• Jim Lemire of from Archaea to Zeaxanthol links to The Other 95% (on second thought, Chug)
• Doug over on Gossamer Tapestry takes yet another vacation and blogs about it
• Bora describes or photographs a recent meal on A Blog Around the Clock
• Craig, Peter, or Kevin of DSN are seen in pictures with (or refer to) children or wives (Chug if seen in pictures with both)
• Chris Mooney posts a photo of himself on The Intersection
• Miriam Goldstein lapses into Yiddish anywhere on The Oyster Garter
• Bug Girl actually posts about bugs
• Karen uses the word "Blighty" in a post on The Beagle Project Blog
• The Brothers Bleiman post anything having to do with deli meats, bodily parasites, or animal automata on Zooillogix
• Cody grinds out more than two posts a month on 90% True
• Sheryl Kirshenbaum writes on any of the following at The Intersection: sea cucumbers, how lucky she is to blog with Chris Mooney, or Science Debate 2008 (Chug if she includes all three in a single post)
• Christopher lists less than two citations per post on Catalog of Organisms (Chug if he lists more that five citations per post)
• Jennifer mentions "Daniel Pauly" or a "smuck" of jellies anywhere on Shifting Baselines

Bonus Round
Chug if:
• Any blogger can top Kevin Zelnio for most ridiculous excuse
• Matt Nisbett posts a comment on Pharyngula
• PZ Myers posts a comment on Framing Science
• Any mention (in posts or comments) of PZ's "trophy wife"
