BUZZ: EVERYONE SITS IN A CIRCLE. SEVEN OR ANY NUMBER
WITH SEVEN (E..G., 17, 27, OR 14, 21, 28) IS A POISON

DRINKING GAME

BULL-SHIT: THIS IS A DIRNKING GAME. EVERYONE PICKS
AN ANIMAL TYPE OF SHIT. EXAMPLE: BIRD-SHIT.
THE PERSON STARTS BY SAYING, "FARMER JOHN SAYS
BIRD-SHIT." THE PERSON WHO IS BIRD-SHIT SAYS
"BULL-SHIT." THE PERSON WHO STARTED SAYS "WHO'S
SHIT?" THE PERSON WHO HAS BIRD-SHIT WILL THEN CALL
SOMEONE ELSE'S SHIT AND THE GAME GOES ON THIS WAY.
IF ANYONE HESITATES OR MAKES A MISTAKE, THEY HAVE
TO DRINK. ANYONE WHO LOSES A ROUND CAN CALL A SOCIAL
DRINK FOR EVERYONE. AS THE GAME GOES ON, THE
PARTICIPANTS BEGIN TO MAKE MANY ERRORS DUE TO
THE ALCOHOL.

THIS SONG AND GAME SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME KNOWN AT U-D
(UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT) THROUGH DELTA SIGMA PHI
FRATERNITY. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED HERE FOR YEARS, BUT I
WAS UNABLE TO TRACE IT ANY FARTHER THAN THE FRATER-
NITY. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT IT ORIGINATED HERE, BUT I COULD
NOT FIND IT AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL. THOSE CHECKED WERE:
WAYNE STATE U., WESTERN MICHIGAN U., CENTRAL MICHIGAN
U., EASTERN MICHIGAN U., AND MICHIGAN STATE U. I
BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH IT AT A HOUSE PARTY IN 1962.

DRINKING GAME

THE PLAYERS MUST RESPOND WHEN POINTED TO. IF THE
PERSON POINTING YELLS "FIGLIANO," HE MUST POINT TO
SOMEONE ELSE AND SAY "SCHARTZ," AND VICE VERSA.
HOWEVER, IF SOMEONE YELLS "ZOOM" THE TURN GOES TO
THE PERSON BEFORE HIM, NO MATTER WHO HE MAY POINT TO.
OF COURSE, THE PENALTY FOR VIOLATING ANY OF THE RULES
IS THAT HE MUST DRINK.

BUZZ-DING

THIS IS A DRINKING GAME WHICH STARTS CLOCKWISE WITH
ONE PERSON, WHO BEGINS BY COUNTING "ONE." THE
PERSON NEXT TO HIM SAYS "TWO," AND SO ON. WHENEVER
MULTIPLES OF 5 ARE ENCOUNTERED, THE PERSON WHOSE TURN
IT IS, SAYS "DING," INSTEAD OF THE MULTIPLE OF FIVE.
WHEN MULTIPLES OF 7 ARE ENCOUNTERED, THE PERSON SAYS
"BUZZ," AND THE DIRECTION OF PLAY IS CHANGED FROM
CLOCKWISE TO COUNTERCLOCKWISE. WHEN A PERSON CALLS
OUT A WRONG NUMBER, I.E., 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, HE MUST
DRINK A BEER.

THUMPER

THIS IS A DRINKING GAME WHERE THE PLAYERS ALL SIT IN
A CIRCLE. EACH MAN CHOOSES A GESTURE WHICH WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH HIM FOR THE GAME. THE GAME BEGINS
BY ALTERNATELY SLAPPING YOUR KNEES AND YELLING
"THUUUUUUUMPPEEER." THE PERSON WHO STARTS THE GAME
STOPS SLAPPING HIS KNEES AND GIVES HIS GESTURE FIRST
AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE'S IN RAPID SUCCESSION. THE
PERSON WHOSE GESTURE IS PICKED MUST THEN RESPOND WITH
HIS GESTURE AND SOMEONE ELSE'S; THE CHOICE BEING
COMPLETELY ARBITRARY. WHEN A PERSON MISSES, BY NOT
SEEING HIS GESTURE OR GIVING AN INCORRECT RESPONSE,
HE MUST CHUG A BEER. ALL THE WHILE THE GAME IS BEING
PLAYED, THE PLAYERS WAITING FOR THEIR GESTURE CONTINUE
SLAPPING THEIR KNEES.

THUMPER

THIS GAME YOU PLAY WITH BEER. EVERYONE IS GIVEN A
SIGN. EXAMPLE, I PINCH MY NOSE. EVERYONE CLAPS
THEIR KNEES WITH THEIR HANDS TWICE, CLAPS THEIR
HANDS TWICE. THEN THE PERSON (ANYONE) STARTS BY
GIVING HIS SIGN AND THE SIGN OF ANYONE ELSE'S
IN THE GROUP. THE PERSON WHOSE SIGN HE GAVE, GIVES HIS
OWN SIGN AND SOMEONE ELSE'S. EACH TIME SOMEONE MISSES
EITHER THE CLAPPING OR A SIGN HE MUST CHUG A BEER.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, PEOPLE LOOK PRETTY FUNNY AFTER AN
HOUR.
