So much better than Saliesha

Spoilers? I guess this post has spoilers.

Yesterday, partly as a change of pace and partly because we're all feeling a bit poor, a bunch of us (including special guests Graham and Nora) skipped happy hour and got together at Jenna's for Ben's Arrested Development drinking game.

You know how people sometimes comment on stuff that happens on a show by making up a pretend drinking game they're never going to play? We're not those people. We drank for magic tricks, Buster greetings, awkward George Michael moments, etc.

Maybe it was the three slices of extremely expensive pizza I had for dinner (which is to say: some of you guys owe me money, yes?), but I never got drunk. Ultimately I think I prefer more vindictive drinking games like King's Cup, Josie and the Pussycats, and Mariokart.

Later on Jenna made us mojitos and we watched the usual reality shows, including the ANTM finale. A show of hands had prettymuch everyone thinking that Anja would win — whether or not that was fair to Whitney — so it was pretty shocking when the judges ended up choosing the plus-size model.

(I was similarly surprised by the audience vote on last week's Top Chef. Dale is more annoying than Spike, but I expected Spike to get way more votes than he did. He's the hat guy!)

Slightly related: Now that she works for a closed-captioning company, Markie has been educating us on captions, specifically the difference between "pop on" (Bravo) and "roll up" (CW) captions. I am in love with Bravo's closed captioning, which allows us to chatter through the entire episodes (h/t Jinx), but the slow CW captions are too painful to use.



How does the Mario Kart drinking game work?



Only with Double Dash, as far as I can tell. Between matches you take a drink for every time you were hit by a shell — any sort of shell — and for every time you fired off a blue shell. The winner gets to send one of their drinks to someone else. If you finish a race without getting hit or firing a blue shell, everyone else has to take a shot.
