I used to be a pretty mean 5-9-13 player in my youth.

5 - 9 - 13? - 17..? I wanna play. Tell me the rules! (oops... what have I done?[white]Have mercy, F </board/images/icons/laugh.gif> )[/white]
No 17, just 5-9-13. And yer in luck, I don't remember all the rules. Basically a dice based drinking (and I *do mean drinking) game. Roll dice as long as you get aces. Fifth ace names the drink, ninth ace pays for it and thirteenth ace drinks it. Splains a lot, doesn't it.

I for one have never been drawn to a sport that did not involve drinking my favorite lager. All the softball that I played from tot on, fast pitch of course, led to my retiring to slow-pitch after college. And what does one do in the dugout of a slow-pitch game???? Sip from the 40oz Slurpee cup full of one's favorite beverage.
I also played Rugby in college (softball got boring) which is a violent excuse to drink to excess. I would imagine that the rituals surrounding Rugby are far more sophisticated in areas of the country other than Illinois (where I attended school), but the 'get naked in a bar after your first ever score and let your teammates pour beer all over you' is an interesting one at least.
Other college favorites include darts (cricket) and pool. To this day I cannot win in either unless I've downed several. Does something for the nerves I suppose.

Forgive me but this reminds me of an ad long ago, showing an exhausted looking Indian buck in a hammock, with a Indian girl with a mocking expression leaving him, and the caption "One buck well spent on a Spring Maid sheet." The owner of the company was a WWI ace, whose name I think was Elliot Spring. That's the kind of hammockery I wish I were still capable of. Here's an URL about it. http://www.snopes2.com/business/market/springmd.htm

My favorite drinking game is/was Mexican Trivial Pursuit. Whenever you miss a question for a biscuit (or piece of pie) you have to take a healthy swig from a bottle of Mescal. The winner is either the person with all their biscuits or the person that eats the worm, whichever comes first. After the first few misses, it doesn't really matter anymore if anyone wins unless you're really squeamish about eating worms.

okay mexican trivial pursuit sound like a fun game with the right people.. i as, most of you have notice, have a great breathe of knowledge, (and often, very little depth)--in other words, i am a trivia pro! when it first came out, i played with the wrong people-- in one game, my cousins were eager for me to take on the challege of sports, since they knew, when it came to sports, i knew nothing.. (and since i was able to answer every other question that came my way-- i was racing through the game.) well, actually, next to nothing about sports. but i did know where, in order to play the 10th hole, you had to cross a 13th century stone bridge. St Andrew's, of course. the 13th century bridge forces you to only consider golf courses in UK-- and really how many really well know golf courses are there in the UK? they would never play with me again... ex husband had the same attitude. this crowd would be fun though, most of you have both depth and breathe of knowledge.

Do you suspect that had you played the Mexican version, they would have been glad to play again?
