CSI Miami

[ertw_]

While co-watching CSI Miami with parodie, she and I started coming up with rules for a CSI Miami drinking game.

CSI Miami Drinking Game

Opening:

• double the drinks if the episode starts with a couple stumbling upon the body while fooling around
  
• double the drinks if the show opens with the body/crime-scene being destroyed by sharks or alligators

Main Plot:

• one drink every time Horatio removes/puts on his sunglasses for dramatic effect
  
• one drink every time a CSI/lab tech says something obvious to their co-workers for the sake of audience understanding
  
• one drink every time they close the curtains and search in the dark
  
  • one extra drink if they use the black-light/luminol
• two drinks every time an image is zoomed beyond a camera's resolution
  
• one drink every time they get the finger prints/DNA of an unwitting suspect from a discarded glass/soda can/styrofoam cup
  
• two drinks every time a complex scientific test is run in a matter of minutes
  
• one drink if a CSI walks into the lab just as the results of test they're waiting on are printed out
  
• one drink every time a lab tech says "allele"
  
• two drinks every time the suspect's lawyer says "That's it, this interview is over!" and then just sits there while the CSI continues to bully his/her client into admitting to the crime

Just for Kicks:

• two drinks every time a witness that Horatio is personally protecting gets in the way of an investigation
  
• one drink every time Calleigh looks hot while firing a gun
  
• one drink every time Eric looks hot while in a wet suit
  
• one drink every time Alexx calls a corpse "Baby"
  
• one drink every time Horatio says one of the following:
  
  • "For right now, why don't you let me worry about that."
    
  • "What have we here?" (indicating he's found evidence)
    
  • "Okay, here's how this is going to go..."
    
  • "The only thing that matters is the evidence."
    
  • "Gentlemen, may I?"
    
  • "Take him." (when finishing a conversation with a suspect as they are being arrested)
• one drink every time you think "Ow! That looked like it hurt!"
  
• three drinks every time one of the CSIs gets too attached to the victim
  
• four drinks every time they make David Caruso try to speak Spanish
  
• three drinks when it turns out the wife/husband was responsible

Competitive rules:

• all other players must take a drink when you point out an inconsistency in their scientific method/technique
  
• three drinks every time you groan/shout out obvious facts in exasperation
