Touch My Golden Egg
Nothing screams "drinking game" more than the Harry Potter films, and we're happy to report that the latest installment does not disappoint. The game goes something like this:
Players try to beat each other in calling out the vaguely sexual references within the films with all remaining players drinking. An example--"I'm playing with my wand beneath the sheets" is one of our favourites, and whoever calls it out first wins while the remaining players drink deeply. Of course, the problem with this game is that the losers tend to get progressively more drunk, therefore impeding their ability to play the game at all. It's all a little microcosm for the capitalistic way of the rich getting richer. Or in this case, the drunk getting drunker.
The winner from the current film (which was whispered to each other throughout the entire 2 1/2 hour long film in an incredibly hot theater) is the mantra: "touch my golden egg" which comes after Harry wins the first task and returns to their commons room with the aforementioned golden egg. Having worked with middle schoolers and high schoolers for many years, I can tell you with some certainty that in the real world, no one would have been carrying Harry on their shoulders. And that the golden egg itself would probably prompt a drinking game similar to the one that should be used when viewing all Harry Potter films. Or some guilty groping that would be regretted a few hours later. Oh the innocence.
On a side note, the kids and I have started our own blog at www.twokidsandacopperpot.blogspot.com. Please join us in reading about our self-led cooking school created out of my own low self-esteem and my burning need to be doing something that appears "productive" to the outside world. The kids are ready to tackle On Cooking (our cooking textbook) and learn the proper techniques for braising meat.

Wait, is the MOWA morphing into KVM? There needs to be 'splaining.
That being said, I love the Harry Potter drinking game concept. And isn't it true of all drinking games that the losers just keep losing as they get drunker?
that hermione girl is really cute..
