Comment The Eugenia Loli-Queru Linux distro drinking game: (Score 5, Funny) 350
Preparation: several kegs of beer, a lot of glasses, and a browser open at osnews.com
Participants: as many Linux, er, "fans" as possible.
Method: someone reads the review out loud. Best that they are a designated reader, as things tend to get messy. Then...
Scull one glass every time:
- BEOS is mentioned
- Eugenia replies to comments within three minutes of them being posted
- the words "my", "Celeron" and "533" appear in a sentence
- Eugenia refers to herself (this alone should make most pass out by the end of the first page)
Scull two glasses every time:
- the linux on desktop argument is exhumed
- some sly comment is made about tightwad companies not paying for mp3 licensing fees
- you hear a complaint about not a given distro being newbie friendly within 20 seconds of hearing a shell command line...er, command quoted
Bypass the glass and drink straight from the keg every time:
- you suspect that complaints about the distro's UI are overwhelming the substance of the review
- the review doesn't complain about nvidia at all
- somebody exclaims "what the f**k is she talking about!?"
and
Eat your hat if:
- Eugenia refrains from responding acidly to comments in her reviews
- you understand what the major fundamental difference is between a distro marked as 7.6/10 and one marked 7.8/10
BTW, if you get an opportunity to eat your hat, call a taxi, you're done for the night.
