For the benefit of everyone who is reading this thread and doesn't have a clue what's happening, let me enlighten you a bit.

There were a number of nights in Santa Ana where we all partied pretty hard. There was a really nice patio area outside the hotel. One particular evening Aitch and I introduced everyone to the drinking game "Bottles".

The game is played by everyone forming a circle and taking it in turns to count off consecutive numbers out loud in a clockwise direction.

When a number with a seven in it is reached, or a number which is a multiple of seven, that person must call out "bottles" and the direction reverses. If it's your turn and you miss calling "bottles", or if you hesitate, you must consume some of your drink. The game then starts over.

It's hard enough to play when you're sober. Imagine what happens after you've been playing for an hour or so.

The end result looks is depicted in this photo, taken at 3.00am outside the Doubletree Hotel.

I'll leave it up you to play "Spot the Forumite". Of course, if you get the name wrong, you must consume your drink! ImageImageImage

"ROFL!! Dude, you get major props for getting up there and doing very well on songs you didn't even know - most wouldn't attempt it! Rock on!" - John A

Hell, I do that every week in my cover band. They seem to like to play a game called 'play songs the bass player's never heard.'
Usually in front of drunk Marines or bikers.

So far, I haven't broken any bones....
