Yes, back for your Holiday pleasure, its:

            --------------------------------------
            * * * * THE ATWT DRINKING GAME * * * *
            --------------------------------------

This borrows extensively from last year's version, even though it wasn't in
the yearbook (grobble, grobble).  However, I've updated it for current
storylines.  Whoever did last year's please come forward and take credit.

Take one drink when you spot one of the following:

Any scene aboard a private jet
Courtney smiles when she's supposed to be sad
Andy stares stupidly into the camera
Someone says "get on with my/your life."
The police give away confidential information to a friend or relative
Babs' nostrils flair
Someone eavesdrops
Someone opens a bottle of champagne.  Drink twice if its at work.
Duncan says "Bloody Hell"
Extramarital sex
Dominican Republic divorce.  Two drinks if another marriage occurs on the
     same trip
Lucinda calls someone "Darling"
Tom gets "the Look"
Someone bursts into a confidential meeting, excusing themselves by saying
     "Your secretary wasn't at her desk
Someone calls after midnight.  Two drinks if they stop by
Courtney's voice gets higher during a conversation.  Two drinks if a dog
     shows up
Mustang Ranch window open in the dead of winter
AIDS ball (do they still actually call it an _annual_ event)
Someone in a $300 suit hugs someone who has just mucked out the stalls
A customer at Fashions asks for a gift suggestion.  Drink twice if its a pin
     or scarf
Owners manipulate coverage of some event by City Times/Argus/WOAK
Babysitter is seen.  Three drinks and fireworks if she's on her way home
More than five unrelated people show up for an unplanned meal at the Mustang
     Ranch
Snyder Cider
A long-forgotten or heretofore unknown character is mentioned.  Drink twice
     if they call or show up the next day
Sleaza says/does something stupid (ten drink limit per show)
Babs designs a wedding dress
A minor character is written off with little or no explanation (ex. Kira,
     Bianca)
Lilly says "Thank you for being honest" to someone who is currently lying to
     her
Anyone explains their actions by saying it was "to protect Lilly"
A couple with an apparent age difference of more than 20 years sleeps
     together
Roseanna or Frannie get the "deer in the headlights" expression
Anyone finds a lost/unknown relative
Lucy hires someone (Girlwide must be booming through the recession)
Evil looks are exchanged at the Mona Lisa
A Snyder goes to New York
Hutch gets confused (better buy an extra bottle)

A freeze-frame/snapshot, taken by Andy, leads to a commercial
Julie wears tackier clothes than Sleaza
Kim actually tapes a show of "Patterns"
Aaron points to his real mother off screen
Chris Hughes speaks
Holden says "I only know what I read about ______"
Caleb wants to boink Julie.  Bottoms up if ANY other reason for them to be
     together is mentioned
Emma smooths back her hair
Someone comes to Conner for advice.  Drink twice if its after midnight
Someone comes to visit and stays less than two minutes
A mother looks less than 10 or more than 40 years older than her child
Any of the fresh vegetables cut up in the Snyder kitchen are actually
     prepared and eaten
The Snyders mention what they grow, if it's selling, or if they're getting
     farm subsidies
Babs or Margo get pregnant
A child is born and everyone really knows who the father is
An Oakdale U. student, besides Simone, studies
A crime not involving a major character is mentioned or investigated by
     Margo
An actor from "Guiding Light" shows up (what is this, their pension plan)
Scott smirks
The word "insurance" is mentioned at the hospital.  Finish your drink and
     dance on the tables
Another actress plays Margo (there are more living ex-Margos than
     ex-Presidents)

Please feel free to add your own rules to this list.  Enjoy, and don't drink
and drive!
