Remember, it's just for fun!

It's the Charlie Chat Drinking Game (Version 1.0)

That's right folks! Now, you no longer have to be sober to watch Charlie chat. Just follow this guidelines, and if it isn't covered, suggest it.

Required: One alcoholic beverage or a root beer, unless you are in Utah. (Oh my heck) Then, you need some sparkling apple cider.

Whenever someone mentions the following, take the following shots. All shots are cumulative.

ONE shot:
* Credit Card AutoPay
* Club Dish
* AT-150
* They may be dropping a channel which you don't care for.
* Any additional international channels.
* Boring guest is on for more than five minutes
* Charlie tosses the question to the peanut gallery.
* They announce new locals, but you already get locals.
* The new programming requires an upgrade to Dish 500

TWO SHOTS:
* They may be dropping a channel which you do watch
* Boring guest is on for more than ten minutes
* Jim answers a question wrong, and gets corrected by the peanut gallery.
* They aren't announcling locals for your area.
* The new locals being announced lack a major network affiliate.
* Engineering announce a product launch date for a new receiver.
* Someone requests a channel NOONE has even heard of.
* The new HD channels require a 8PSK module on your model 6000.
* Fortunately, we have a special promotion on the 8PSK module.

THREE SHOTS:
* If someone asks about Trio, Oxygen, or PBS Kids, and Charlie says they're too expensive.
* Boring guest is on long enough to get TNGTony to complain.
* NFL Sunday Ticket or MLB Extra Innings is mentioned.
* Charlie answers a question wrong, and gets corrected by the peanut gallery
* When engineering mentions a particular date for an upgrade, and Charles says to add three months to what they say.
* They announce a Showtime Free Preview weekend.
* Someone asks when the Cincinnati UPN station is going to be added.

FOUR SHOTS:
* Anything have to do with the failed Dish-DirecTV merger.
* If someone brings up YE$ Network
* If someone gets through about DishPlayer.
- BONUS: Two more shots if it's thrown to the peanut gallery.

FIVE SHOTS:
* If the caller drones on and on and on, and everyone wonders if the caller will ever get to the point.

Great idea! :) Someone please be the designated viewer keep track of the shot-triggering events during the online Charlie Chat chat

Since I'll probably have trouble keeping score, I will drink a bottle of Jack Daniels before the program and hopefully will be fully unconscious during the Charlie Chat :D

You people are cry-babies, if not for "Charlie" and Echostar, the Satellite Industry would be in the SH**TER! Are you waiting for DirecTV to help you make a living ? HA HA dont make me laugh!! Dish Network is the only way for an "HONEST" retailer to get by, if you have a problem with how they do business then sell DirecTV and quit bitching!!!!

I think you need more then one drink to play this game, I suggest at least a 6 pack if not a case. :)

To make the game easier to play we have designed a special mug for playing along which is available at http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/prod.aspx?p=dbstalk,dbstalk2,dbstalk3.3808774

I think I should buy the first shot for sbill. :D Bill no ones bitching, it just makes watching the chats much more fun. :)

And if you only hurt the ones you love, Charlie must love us all VERY MUCH!

I guess since all it would take is one drink to put me under the table I should be the designated viewer, and since I have now upgraded to a 508 I can review the recording to see if I missed any "shot-triggering events". :D
