We do a "gourmet night", pick nice recipes, shop for it during the day (normally a Saturday) and then cook it together (with some booze) and then eat

CODalmighty · 17/05/2007 18:27

One Drink
Jack kills somebody.
Somebody summarizes what's been going on in the past couple hours.
Something bad happens to Kim.
There's a split screen.
Palmer has a speech about how he won't trash his morals, you know, the usual bullshit.
Jack defies orders.
A CTU employee looks at another CTU employee suspiciously.
Somebody mentions the amount of time it will take for something to be accomplished (i.e., "The Delta squad won't be there for another twenty minutes").
Drink twice whenever
A CTU employee other than Jack kills somebody.
Some annoying authority figure shows up (Chappelle, Alberta Green, etc.).
There is an obvious lapse in continuity (i.e., Kim says that Gael is a mole and in the next scene we see him on the run).
Somebody mentions Terri (Season One doesn't count).
Somebody is revealed to be a mole/traitor, or an important object turns out to be a decoy/red herring.
Somebody other than Jack defies orders.
A main character dies.
Drink three times whenever
A supporting character from a previous season shows up (Nina, Mandy, Sherry, Kate, etc.)
CTU goes into lockdown.
Finish the drink whenever
The main villain changes (example - Gaines to Drazen).
The final minute does not include a surprise/cliffhanger.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 17/05/2007 18:27

Strip scrabble?

Lizzylou · 17/05/2007 18:28

24 Drinking games sound fab!

We've only seen season 1, so should have loads of great Saturday nights ahead!

DaddyCool · 17/05/2007 18:34

oi cornsilk - which one do you think is sexy? the cheeky one or the good one?

we usually end up just sitting about eating crap and watching fluffy telly.

CODalmighty · 17/05/2007 18:35

not he plan to it makes it good fun imo

mrsmalumbas · 17/05/2007 18:35

OrmIrian · 17/05/2007 18:35

OK. This is probably very dull to everyone else but we enjoyed it...we used to read to each other...

Go on ...laugh.

But it was really nice. Honest.

cornsilk · 17/05/2007 18:36

Daddy cool -The smaller, cheeky one that looks like he might go for an older woman!

DaddyCool · 17/05/2007 18:37

thought so.

great show.

ahundredtimes · 17/05/2007 18:37

We play poker - with other people, definitely once a month. We provide food and beer. I am trying to persuade everyone to wear baseball caps, but they've refused so far.
Sometimes dh and I pretend we're David Palmer. We wander about saying 'Hmmm, your thoughts?' to each other in a deep voice. Makes us laugh. Might take up the drinking game though.

WideWebWitch · 17/05/2007 18:37

We sometimes talk, sometimes go out, or watch tv but mainly series like Desp Housewives, 24, Heroes etc. Or we get the projector out and watch a film on the big screen (i.e. one of our walls). Or I come here and he's on his PS2/Ds

Chattyhan · 17/05/2007 18:38

well i'm pregnant so the drinking's out but we try and eat with DS so after he's in bed we just sit and watch TV - we've tried cards and whilst it is a laugh DP always wins and then gets bored!

I like the theme night ideas!
