Take a shot when...

George gets surley

Carolyn gets eyebrow furrowly

Raj shows up with something stupid

Pamela wears an ugly scarf





ONWARD!!

Here's my Apprentice drinking game:

Tip the glass every time one of the following occur:

Someone says "class" or "classy".
The Don makes an entrance with music playing in the background.
The word TRUMP is shown.
When The Don says "Youuuge" (Huge).
Whenever they show someone in their underwear.

A way to get totally smashed:

take a drink any time one of the women enters the boardroom with a skirt that doesn't cover her ass or a shirt that fails to cover her boobs.

My GOD, HamptonsGirl, do you want everyone to die of alcohol poisoning before the credits are even over?

How about a drink whenever anyone says they just want to spend time with The Donald.

Or anytime Trump uses a superlative (the best, the prettiest, the most beautiful). Then again, I guess that makes my criticism of HamptonsGirl's idea a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Sticky, I like the way your mind works.

I also like "yooge" as a drinking cue. Though you could be bombed in the first 15 minutes.

I also plan to drink whenever DT describes a person, place or thing as "top." Like the "top people" at Mattel.

How about a shot every time you see a close shot of the boardroom door closing?

This might get tough to judge after a few drinks, but perhaps viewers could drink up when people use phrases right from "How to be all successful in business and stuff" books--that do nothing to help them solve a task or justify their failures.

And a new drink for this season might be Trump pretending to be doing business. He got filmed at the end of several phone calls it wasn't necessary to show. I.e. "I'm at the Mattel building now, Rowan." (Gets out of car and enters Mattel building.)

Reminded me of people on the bus yelling "I'm on the bus right now" into their cell phones.

How about drinking if anyone quotes any Successories poster? Or at any corporate crap jargon?

Hmmm...I've been out of the corporate world so long I haven't heard any good ones lately.

For a fairly comprehensive glossary of meaningless business doublespeak, LizzieAnne, just check out Andy's little speech in the Boardroom this week. Basically any one of those phrases along would meet your requirements; the whole bunch conglomerated together would cause anyone to drink enough to pass out in a matter of moments!

Thanks Avid Eyes I like the way it works too, when it's working.

Anyhoo,

Here are some corporate how to succeed in business phrases to use

1. Get in the game

2. Be a team player

3. Executive decision

3. Think outside the box

4. Any variation on the word motivate

There are more, but I have to work now!

Keep the train a rollin!


ps. Also, think of some fun drink mixes we could use as it pertains to the apprentices and the viceroys.

The Kahlua Koepcher

2 pts Vodka
1 pt Kahlua

served ice cold

It's Carolynn, hard and cold, yet a little sweet.

(pps. I know nothing about mixing drinks so the measurments? Yeah, don't follow those.)

Take a drink when:

1. Trump smacks down George (because it should NEVER happen!).

2. Carolyn stares at a candidate incredulously.

3. Trump pronounces something wrong (in-DUS-try, Elizabeth Gla-zhur).

4. A candidate disses another candidate in the taxi on the way out instead of talking about their personal experience.

5. Trump reads a cue card incorrectly.

6. A candidate out-and-out lies in the boardroom.

MamaTiger, I'm thinking that might be a beer-bong situation.

At our house, we drink whenever anyone uses the word "utilized." And I had to do a shot when Pamela or whoever referred to someone's "skill-set." Gulp!

ETA: Li'l Stacy said skill-set last night when referring to Ivana or someone. GAH!! Stop with the business-speak! If someone starts quoting "Who Moved My Cheese" I'm going to have to start doing the hard drugs.

Okay, not really a drinking game, but I guess it could be. I'm sure there are plenty of others who start to gag on the constant barrage of "corporate speak" from the contestants and hosts of this show. Well then, you might enjoy this.

Since it seems like it's going to be a regular thing, I'm going to add "whenever the majestic trumpets herald Trump's arrival from on high."

Joining the fun:

- A shot every time one Apprentice repeats another's cliche, a la "putting out fires" or "you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"

- A sip every time Carolyn uses the word "failed."

- Chug if your favorite Apprentice answers the Batphone in his/her pajamas/underwear.

Man, with Ivana and Maria on the show, we'll be drinking "till the cows come home".

Ooops! Shot!

How about a drink every time Trump has to tell someone to quit hemming and hawing and just answer the damn question already?

Take a drink every time:

Maria blinks

Stacy rolls her eyes

Ivana makes faces

Elizabeth cries
