In fact, the closest Waffle House to San Francisco (that I've been able to find) is near Phoenix, Arizona, a good 2 day drive through the desert -- but worth it! -- Dr Cocot ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ From: combee@prism.gatech.edu (Ben Combee) Subject: "Waffle House" Drinking Game, alpha 1 Date: Mon, 7 Dec 92 0:02:10 EST Message-Id: <199212070502.AA24511@prism.gatech.edu> To: surfpunk@osc.osc.com (SurfPunk Technical Journal) After a trip to the Koffee Kettle a few weeks ago, I've had this idea in the back of my mind. I posted this to the git.humor newsgroup to get suggestions, but I think it's rather appros for the Surfpunk digest. Ben 'Why yes, that is a C quick reference t-shirt' Combee ---- 'Ello. In my ongoing humor projects, I've decided to create a Waffle House Drinking Game. As the game does revolve around Waffle House and its clones, the beverage of choice is coffee. So far, I've gotten two versions. 1) Simple (especially popular at UGA) a) Go to Waffle House b) Order coffee c) Drink coffee d) Refill coffee cup e) Go to c Unfortunately the simple version doesn't have much depth, and winning seems a little difficult. Therefore, I've started a more complex version. 2) Complex (good for imaginary evenings out) There are two parts to the COMPLEX WHDG. First, you must set the initial point target. Then you must try to drink cups of coffee to reach the target. To find the initial target, follow these rules. If you are in a true Waffle House, start at four points. If you are in a Waffle House clone like IHOP, Huddle House, Koffee Kettle, or Stuckey's, start at two points. For every local police officer in the resturant, add one point. For every state or federal police officer (FBI included), add two points. For every Secret Service agent, add three points. If your waitron is male, add two points. If the resturant has a view of an interstate highway, add a point for every one visible. If you are sitting at the bar, add one point. For every card game, add two points. (More rules to follow) After you have your initial target, you then must drink a number of cups of coffee to match the target on the following scale. Black coffee - one point Coffee with sugar - 2/3 point Coffee with cream - 2/3 point Coffee with sugar and cream - 1/2 point Hot Tea - 2/3 point Iced Tea - 1/3 point Carbonated beverage - 1/3 point Milk - 1/3 point Orange Juice - 1/2 point You may also add points to your score for the following events. Car pulls into the resturant parking lot - 1/3 point Shift change - 2 points Someone recieves a message over a portable radio - 1 point Waitron asks how long you are going to be here - 1 point Well, that's the game so far. Suggestions are requested. Thanks for beta testing the "Waffle House Drinking Game."
