    The Deadprogrammer Drinking Game.

    Drink one shot when:
    * There is a picture with a blurry yellow cab in the background
    * There is a picture of a NYC landmark
    * I obsess about titanium
    * I post a poll and it’s filled out by 5 and a half people (out of a hundred + “friends”)
    * I write about Nathan’s Famous, iXL or working as an elevator operator
    * There is a Simpsons reference
    * I make a list (drink now)
    * The article is recursive (ditto)
    * I post a “howto” article about something that is probably useful, but too weird to try
    * I recommend a book
    * I recommend a livejournal user or community
    * I mention
    * There is a spelling or grammar error
    * I write about NYPD
    * There is an absolete technology article

    Drink two shots when:
    * I am pissed off (or piss off) very smart people from
    * I gripe about espresso quality in NYC
    * There is a post with more than 5 comments

    Drink three shots when:
    * It’s an article written during lunchtime

    Chug when:
    * The lunchtime article is written around 5PM
