The Deadprogrammer Drinking Game.

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
