Good mates of the Dropkicks
The Dropkicks is a rugby podcast and sports blog site illuminating your path through the murky world of international rugby, league, cricket, football, baseball, motorsports, golf, netball and competitive eating.
You may have heard that there is something called the "Olympics" coming up, well the Dropkicks are totally prepared.
This week's cast will take place over a few Epics (as always) while we watch the opening ceremony. But what Olympics drinking session would be complete without drinking games?
So here's where things get interesting for you:
And if you'd like to join us for a beer or two while we salute the Olympic spirit, we'll tell you where we'll be tomorrow on the blog.
*may contain alcohol, so you've got to be old enough
**previous winners you are allowed to enter this as well.

2. Every time there are fireworks - Half.
3. Every time a man is dressed as a strange time of animal (including dragons), or emperor - Mouthful.

Thursday, 07 Aug 2008 — MichaelIt's true, it is worth winning. It has a handy All Blacks potholder.
p.s. Hadyn, I want more Favre, you must have a comment now. Good trade?

Monday, 11 Aug 2008 — HadynI believe there was a Dropkicks keyring too.
Did you see my post about Favre?

Thursday, 07 Aug 2008 — fraser (not verified)1) slow motion footage - a tip
2) historical footage - a tip proportional to the historicity of the games in question.
ie. athens: mouthful, sydney: a swig, atlanta: a glug. jesse jackson at the berlin games: down in one.
3) pointless records- a half tankard for every esoteric or inane record mentioned. ie) "and thats a fantastic result for fettaccini, thats the 4th fastest 400m time hes recorded this season" or "and there it is! the guatemalan olympic discus record shattered."
4) drug cheats - an empty vessel for every convicted drug cheat to return to international competition to win a medal and deny a team spot to some poor bastard who slogged his life away on the track without the benefit of bull hormones pumping through his/her veins. for shame!
5) stupid sports: its not 'speed walking' its a bad charlie chaplin impersonation and you bloody know it. free for all. back to the bar/ fridge for the lot you.

Saturday, 09 Aug 2008 — Seamonkey Madness (not verified)1) NZ Medal:
* gold = vessel
* silver = ½ vessel
* bronze = a scull or two
2) vessel whenever the current world champ of a sport rests on his laurels and gets absolutely smoked!
3) A scull whenever they mention Mahe Drysdale being the flag-bearer/captain. You would have been ½ pissed by the end of his 1st heat!
4) Scull when the winner has a cry when they cross the line, and a second one when they follow through on the podium. (applies more to sub-set of track & field (and the sub-sub-set of track & field women).
5) vessel when the winner goes and hugs their mum and/or dad after winning.
Good competition Dropkicks!

Saturday, 09 Aug 2008 — Naly DSeamonkey, I would have been tanked 15min after I turned up for work on Friday re: the Drysdale thing! Working in the media, you couldn't get away from radio chatter about it!

Sunday, 10 Aug 2008 — noizyEvery time Pete Montgomery says...
...during the rowing, skull!
- reply
Monday, 11 Aug 2008 — Seamonkey Madness (not verified)Oh, and a scull every time the commentators spew forth these cliche gems:
* "little old New Zealand"
* "New Zealand taking on the world"
* "(mighty) nation from the South Pacific"
* "thunder from down under"
* and so on...

Monday, 11 Aug 2008 — The MalletAnd a skull everytime PJ mentions the smog in Beijing. FFS PJ!!! Just shut up about it already!

Monday, 11 Aug 2008 — fraser (not verified)my favourite so far (from the commentators up here in the uk, one of the pommy ones.)

Saturday, 16 Aug 2008 — Anonymous (not verified)A scull every time Toni Street asks an inane question. You would be permanently coma'd during the Olympics. My Favourite: when she asked Nicky Coles and Juliette Haigh post-race if at any time during the final, they had thought they needed to row a bit faster. That one deserves a whole bottle!
- reply
Sunday, 17 Aug 2008 — HadynIt wasn't Toni Street, but I liked the question asked of Valerie Vili: "how did you do it"
answer: "by throwing the shot put a long way"
- reply
Sunday, 17 Aug 2008 — Naly DThe Coles/Haigh comment was immediately followed by 'Do you think you had anything left to go harder?'
Editors will be using that tape in future as a way of teaching reporters how not to interview a losing (or winning, for that matter) athlete.

Equipment:
- Piss
- Vessel
- Couch
- TV
- A whole lot of sick days
One consume:
A crazy slo-mo camera angle has you wondering where the camera is
Two consumes:
A crazy slo-mo camera angle makes you suspect LSD flashback
Three consumes:
You have to Wikipedia the rules
Four consumes:
You wind up getting sucked into Wikipedia's Family Ties, Shoelace Tying and Who Shot First pages and totally miss the race / match
Five consumes:
You retrieve your running shoes from behind the fridge after watching lithe bodies running / cycling / etc and giving your own telly belly a forlorn poke
Six Consumes:
You STILL don't make it off the couch for the entire two weeks and / or winter
Seven Consumes:
It slowly dawns on you the wall to wall handball / beach volleyball coverage between 8PM and 10PM is about boosting ratings and leveraging gratuitous T 'n' A into primetime, not *actual sport*
Eight consumes:
You don't really care
Twenty four consumes:
Yet another vacuously comment from the TVNZ gang make you absent-mindedly miss Tony Veitch

Wednesday, 20 Aug 2008 — Anonymous (not verified)Toni Street is an absolute JOKE! Not a good advertisement for Canterbury Uni (Grad. Dip Journalism), her dumb-ass questions have been a Kiwi or should I say TVNZ embarrassment. CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME to numb the shame!
