Fellowship Of The Ring Drinking Game.

By Fire Frog.

Take a 1litre bottle of water into the theatre with you to watch the movie. Have a sip every time -

You see the burning eye.

Sauron gets his finger lobbed off.

An army or group of individuals (either side) does a manoeuvre that would do the Rockford Follies proud.

You see a black horse with a white face.

Bilbo tries to leave with the ring.

You spot a hobbit holding an apple.

Frodo tries to give away the ring.

A horse comes magically out of a tree.

Someone is seen holding a carrot.

Some one picks a hobbit up.

Strider suddenly has four short Elvish swords to give away to Hobbits that he had not known he was going to meet.

Frodo gets stabbed.

The Ring Wraiths go from chasing in a wedge formation to instantly using a flanking manoeuvre.

You notice Gimli or another character looks a little foreshortened.

That darn chain the ring is on a) disappears b) snaps like a bread stick. Those elves may make fine swords that can chop through stone like butter, but their jewellery must be cheap crap!

Legolas kills somebody with an arrow, but not by shooting it from his bow.

Indeed, whenever his bow displays a similarity to old time six shooters and he keeps firing while his quiver full of arrows appears not to get any lighter.

Someone gets kissed.

You spot a bit of plot that wasn't in the book.

Some one gets picked up and swung about by their foot and walks away without a limp, let alone the broken ankle physics says they should have.

A reference to dwarf tossing is made.

Saruman gestures unnecessarily to show off his pedicure.

Whenever the camera pans from a grubby looking Companion to the dirt repellent Elf.

And lastly - when Boromir nearly busts forth in a rendition of 'Captain, my Captain!' but luckily dies instead.

*~*

Now, the object of the game is to drink well and sit through the entire movie without going to the toilet. If you succeed in this - you my friend have a bladder that legends are made of! We salute you!

For fun and extra credits, try shouting out these missing lines from the book!

Strider, when he first meets the hobbits in Bree.
"I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and if by life or dead I can save you, I will."

Frodo at the Rivendale Ford "You shall have neither the Ring nor me!"

Bilbo, as Frodo leaves (sorrowfully) "Don't adventures ever have an end?"

On top of the mountain : Gimli - "His arm has grown long if it can throw snow at us all the way from Mordore!" Gandalf (warningly) - "His arm has grown long!"

"Captain! My Captain!" <Thud, smack, smack! Wrong movie!>
