Keywords: surfpunk, waffle house, drinking game, secret service 

Californians don't know what Waffle House is.  In fact, the closest 
Waffle House to San Francisco (that I've been able to find) is near 
Phoenix, Arizona, a good 2 day drive through the desert -- but worth it!

After a trip to the Koffee Kettle a few weeks ago, I've had 
this idea in the back of my mind.  I posted this to the git.humor 
newsgroup to get suggestions, but I think it's rather appros for 
the Surfpunk digest. 

Ben 'Why yes, that is a C quick reference t-shirt' Combee

'Ello.  In my ongoing humor projects, I've decided to create a Waffle 
House Drinking Game.  As the game does revolve around Waffle House and 
its clones, the beverage of choice is coffee.  So far, I've gotten two 
versions. 

1) Simple (especially popular at UGA) 

    a) Go to Waffle House 
    b) Order coffee 
    c) Drink coffee 
    d) Refill coffee cup 
    e) Go to c 

Unfortunately the simple version doesn't have much depth, and winning 
seems a little difficult.  Therefore, I've started a more complex version. 

2) Complex (good for imaginary evenings out) 

    There are two parts to the COMPLEX WHDG.  First, you must set the 
    initial point target.  Then you must try to drink cups of coffee 
    to reach the target. 

    To find the initial target, follow these rules. 

    If you are in a true Waffle House, start at four points. 
    If you are in a Waffle House clone like IHOP, Huddle House, 
	Koffee Kettle, or Stuckey's, start at two points. 
    For every local police officer in the resturant, add one point. 
    For every state or federal police officer (FBI included), add 
	two points. 
    For every Secret Service agent, add three points. 
    If your waitron is male, add two points. 
    If the resturant has a view of an interstate highway, add a point 
	for every one visible. 
    If you are sitting at the bar, add one point. 
    For every card game, add two points. 
    (More rules to follow) 

    After you have your initial target, you then must drink a number of 
    cups of coffee to match the target on the following scale. 

    Black coffee - one point 
    Coffee with sugar - 2/3 point 
    Coffee with cream - 2/3 point 
    Coffee with sugar and cream - 1/2 point 
    Hot Tea - 2/3 point 
    Iced Tea - 1/3 point 
    Carbonated beverage - 1/3 point 
    Milk - 1/3 point 
    Orange Juice - 1/2 point 

    You may also add points to your score for the following events. 

    Car pulls into the resturant parking lot - 1/3 point 
    Shift change - 2 points 
    Someone recieves a message over a portable radio - 1 point 
    Waitron asks how long you are going to be here - 1 point 

Well, that's the game so far.  Suggestions are requested.  Thanks for 
beta testing the "Waffle House Drinking Game." 

BTW, if you want more drinking games, check out rec.humor where the 
Star Trek, Cheers, and VP Debate games have been posted.  Also on 
anonymous ftp as syrinx.umd.edu in the mst3k/other directory is the 
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 Drinking Game, Version 1.1 as compiled 
by combee@prism.gatech.edu.
