Cry for Justice Drinking Game

[The ?]

Never let it be said that comic book fans don't know to have a good time. In that spirit, I think that even though it's not done yet we should get to work making up the rules for a "Cry for Justice" drinking game. We can do a trial run with the first three or four issues and then, when the series is all done, we can dig this thread back up and go whole hog on it and recount the aftermath.

Anyway, here are the first rules that come to mind: Feel free to add more.

1.) Drink whenever someone says "Justice." (obviously)
2.) Do a shot when the Hal Jordan/Huntress/Zinda threesome is mentioned.
3.) Drink whenever Supergirl is overly sexualized
4.) Drink whenever Ray Palmer tortures someone
5.) Drink whenever something happens that makes you think "Shouldn't Ollie be objecting to this?"
6.) Drink whenever someone dies.
7.) Drink whenever Starman indulges in some wanton property destruction (if you're feeling hardcore, you can count the robots he and congorilla destroy)


And, my personal favorite....

8.) Drink at every sad gorilla face.

Your post is more entertaining than any CFJ issue released so far...<g>

What about:

9) Drink when any female costume is made vadgetastic.

And

10) Remember that Robinson wrote Starman and feel disappointed.

11) Do a shot whenever we are told, as opposed to shown, how dangerous/intelligent/intimidating Prometheus is:

Freddy Freeman: "He's the anti-Batman, guys! Think about it! The anti-Batman! He could be in our heads and manipulating us right now, without us even knowing it!"

(The other heroes collectively gasp and look at each other with murmuring reactions of concern and fear)

I love Prometheus and approve of rebuilding him after he was squandered post-Morrison, but all this "other characters standing around talking about what a badass Prometheus is" isn't a very effective way of doing it, imo.

Cry For Justice is so very bad that my Starman trades are starting to smell funny.

Bad comic book writers always forget the importance of the "show, don't tell rule." In a visual medium like comics, it's crucial.

My friend, a good drinking game is always both.

12) every time a line of dialogue makes you cringe.

13) every time a guy with the wisdom of Solomon leers at Supergirl.

14) every time you think, "well, at least the art's pretty"

It's just natural selection. Anyone who is still reading CfJ probably shouldn't dilute the gene pool.

Revived for the end of the series Wednesday. Post some rules inspired by the last three issues and then on Friday who wants to agree to go through the whole thing with a bottle of bourbon and chronicle the results?

The completed rules so far-
1.) Drink whenever someone says "Justice." (obviously)
2.) Do a shot when the Hal Jordan/Huntress/Zinda threesome is mentioned.
3.) Drink whenever Supergirl is overly sexualized
4.) Drink whenever Ray Palmer tortures someone
5.) Drink whenever something happens that makes you think "Shouldn't Ollie be objecting to this?"
6.) Drink whenever someone dies.
7.) Drink whenever Starman indulges in some wanton property destruction (if you're feeling hardcore, you can count the robots he and congorilla destroy)
8.) Drink at every sad gorilla face
9.)Drink at every vadegtastic super heroine costume
10.)Drink whenever anyone talks up Prometheus (though freddy doing that now makes more sense doesn't it?)
11) every time a line of dialogue makes you cringe.
