I could see myself playing that. I have crap aim, but a reasonable alcohol tolerance.

The stump game is only dangerous if you blindfold the person before they try hitting the nail.

Generally, after the fourth drink, the blindfold would probably be rendered useless...

Especially if you're drinking methanol... 

[badbum61]

So, where can I get some of this Natick Beer? Apart from Natick, obvs...

[NilsO]

Aw, drinking games can be bad. Basically, you have very little control over your own consumption (unless you play really good), and everybody end up very drunk. There might be some funny scenes (puking? Yes, please!), but probably not a good setting for new friendships.

[Akima]

I woke up with a broken elbow, and a Russian composition final that afternoon... which is when the hangover kicked in.

Writing in Russian with a vodka hangover and a broken elbow actually sounds like a very Russian thing to do. You should have been given an A.

I don't understand drinking games. I have not noticed that people need much persuading to drink, and those who do, probably should not be.

[Schmorgluck]

Heh, Marten certainly knows about playing with hammers while drunk.

She has hair in her armpits?

SO
WHAT
?

[WAYF]

I guess this party's going to give two meanings to the phrase...
 
getting hammered.

[Schmorgluck]

Sorry, WAYF, it's already been done on the previous page.

[Detachable Felix]

SO

?

My thoughts exactly.

[94ssd]

I have used a hammer and other tools while very hungover, but I don't think that qualifies me to attempt such a game. I'd need to be pretty drunk to start. My scenery teacher would join forces with my shop and "alternative energies" (which was basically shop class for hippies) teachers from high school to track me down and kill me as retribution.

[Lubricus]

+1

[WAYF]

Sorry, WAYF, it's already been done on the previous page.

Damnit.

In that case, I'm just going to agree with the "SO WHAT".

As far as I know, body hair of any kind just gives a +1 to sweat and a +1 to cuddliness.

[pwhodges]

A rather formal looking shirt (white, buttoned, with a collar) worn outside the pants. I thought Jim was seriously weird wearing it like that. Here we have another character dressed he same way. Is that something they do in Northampton?

I often wear shirts that way, and some of mine are styled to be worn that way; it works better if they're straight cut (or nearly) at the bottom.


Re: "SO WHAT", there's no need to shout!

[Method of Madness]

When I do that it's because I'm going somewhere informal after work and don't have time to change, but don't want or need my shirt to be tucked in anymore.

[Black Sword]

Stump seems like a terribly dangerous game to play.

[myytgryndyr]

Who plays that game with a hammer? Where I'm from it's played with an Axe.

[Storel]

Now I see what Jeph meant when he said it was going to be "one of those parties": a party full of college kids who spend the whole time getting as high and/or drunk as possible. While Marten enjoys the occasional drunkenness, I suspect this is not going to be his cup of tea.

...Unless the fact that he knows nobody there enables him to drop his inhibitions and join in the "fun", but he's pretty self-conscious, so I dunno.

Who plays that game with a hammer? Where I'm from it's played with an Axe.

How do you hit a nail with an axe?? Sounds almost impossible to do. How much fun is it if you have almost no chance of making the other person take a drink? Not to mention playing with an axe while drunk sounds a lot more dangerous than playing with a hammer...

Edit: Oh, yeah, and how do drunk people even remember which nail is theirs when all nails look alike?

[Barmymoo]

I have friends with similar presentations to hers and all of them believe in modern medicine. Don't be so judgmental. Grooming habits don't actually affect intelligence.

I was going to say something similar but you put it far more eloquently, thank you.

[FunkyTuba]

if you can't remember if it's your nail or not, you have to drink

[Is it cold in here?]

Sorry, WAYF, it's already been done on the previous page.

Damnit.

You could try to come up with a different one, unless you get stumped.

[NilsO]

How do you hit a nail with an axe??

<sigh>An axe is a wedge with a sharp and a blunt end. With the blunt end first, it makes a forceful hammer. But I agree it is dangerous, and not to be recommended.</sigh>

[St.Clair]

So the entertainment here is basically getting stoned and/or drunk.  (Or, I suppose, watching others do so.)
Yeah, not my scene at all.

[Game and Watch Forever]

There's still the drum circle! As far as I know, that doesn't require either... though I can't say I know much about the matter.

[DSL]

They get REALLY drunk and hammer (imagine the waiter looking at you and shaking his head after Frank Drebin orders a Black Russian) the drums.

A WoodrowPC shows up wondering why the partiers killed his daddeeeeeeee ... .

And Porch Swing Girl, having finally had enough of Delilah's fun-bag-stealing shit, snaps and ... I dunno.

[Border Reiver]

It's games like that that make me glad to be gunner.  My own unit doesn't engage in such things - gets in the way of drinking.

[Method of Madness]

How was the lake party NOT "that kind of party"? Sure, no cannabis, but plenty of drinking.

Also...gunner?

[Perfectly Reasonable]

So did the phrase 'getting hammered' give rise to the game, or was it the other way around?

[Method of Madness]

Yes.

[Kugai]

Did Bob carry that stump into the yard on his shoulder?

I suddenly hear the theme from Commando playing in my head.


Majick Beer?  Never heard of it.  Probably made by Elves.

[Zwammy]

So the entertainment here is basically getting stoned and/or drunk.  (Or, I suppose, watching others do so.)
Yeah, not my scene at all.

Plus they sing "If I had a Hammer" by Peter, Paul & Mary. And/or try to psych out the hammerer.

[Carl-E]

Akima, my grade for the course went up, so I apparently did well. 

Or my handwriting was so illegible he gave me the benefit ofg the doubt... on about 70% of the exam...

RE: Axe.  Done a similar game throwing a hatchet into a stump from about 10 paces.  It sticks, everyone else takes a drink.  It doesn't, you take a drink.  Miss the stump, you have to down your drink. 

Which makes it a lot more likely you'll miss the stump on your next turn...

And don't throw until the person retrieving the last hatchet is behind you.   

[Kugai]

And don't throw until the person retrieving the last hatchet is behind you.   

Important Safety Tip

[Mr_Rose]

Also, don't throw the hatchet with the rubber safety guard still on.

[ankhtahr]

So this comic made me laugh even though I have no idea what's going on. Did he miss and hit the stump so hard that all nails flew away?

[mustang6172]

I think he hit the stump hard enough to knock the nails off on purpose.

Drinking games never made sense to me.  Is the purpose to consume your beverage or regulate how others consume?

[Method of Madness]

I like them. If you lose, you get drunk, so nobody REALLY loses.

[Border Reiver]

[Rusty]

Heres my guess-

youll get people trying to whack nails hard enough to make friends chug.  if you miss (which theyll likely do at ful blast), you drink anyone whos nail you knock off.

obviously as the game goes on, and the nails are driven in far enough they dont just come out, youll end up with a lot more chuggers.

[LookingIn]

Also, don't throw the hatchet with the rubber safety guard still on.

Don't swing one with the leather guard on it either...that was one foul up others never let you live down

[LookingIn]

Shared shock and surprise makes for one heck of a funny panel 

[Storel]

How do you hit a nail with an axe??

<sigh>An axe is a wedge with a sharp and a blunt end. With the blunt end first, it makes a forceful hammer. But I agree it is dangerous, and not to be recommended.</sigh>

Spare me the condescending sighs, please.  I briefly considered adding "Unless you hit it with the blunt edge" to that post, but I honestly couldn't (and still can't) see the point of using an axe instead of a hammer if you're going to do that.

Unless you just want the game to be more dangerous...

[Lubricus]

Lokks to me like Bob simply ruined the game. What's the point? 

[Truec]

Lokks to me like Bob simply ruined the game. What's the point? 

The point is he just hit a stump hard enough to knock a bunch of nails out of it and GIVE HIM ALL THE BEERS NOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

[Lubricus]

That's not a "point", it's ruining the game for everyone!

[DSL]

You'd argue points with a guy who just hit a stump hard enough to knock out all the nails? Give you half the beers..

[Method of Madness]

It's not ruining the game, it is winning it (or losing it, I can't tell).

[Carl-E]

Ah, the rule that had not been mentioned. 

Bob gets adequately drunk, and everyone else gets a new drink and plays for second place...


Also, next to the last shocked guy on the right, with the flannel shirt? 

Put glasses on, and that'd be me in college.  I had hair, man! 

[Shjade]

I like them. If you lose, you get drunk, so nobody REALLY loses.

Except the people who don't drink and aren't excited about hanging out with drunk people.

[Barmymoo]

I suspect those people are in the kitchen having a deep conversation about life and eating all the snacks.
