PrintMy wife came up with a TdF drinking game based on the hilarity of watching Paul and Phil on Versus. So, pull out the suitcase of courage and *chug chug chug*!!!
Take one drink when:
* A time trial is referred to as "the race of truth."
* Thor Hushovd is referred to as "the god of thunder" (take a little sip if alternately called "the big man from Norway.").
* Paul and Phil wear matching oxfords.
* A crash happens.
* The Tour is called "unpredictable."
* Any rider is called out as the national champion of his home country.
* Any mention of Team Garmin-Chipotle is accompanied by a GPS joke.
* Any mention of Uganda.
* "Big George Hincapie."
* Prolonged shots of farmer art.
* Helicopter shot of a chateau (take a second drink when accompanied by a historical fact snippet).
* Any man runs down the race course in a thong or less.
* Bob calls the race "the Tour dey Fraance."
* The peloton catches the breakaway.
* Anyone is referred to as "the star of the future."
* Any mention of Lance Armstrong.
* Anyone watching confuses Vandevelde with Valverde, or vice versa.
* "38-year-old Erik Zabel."
* A shot of someone riding alongside the race on a horse
Chug when:
* Phil pulls out THE SUITCASE OF COURAGE.
* El Diablo runs down the race course.

Following this with the pain meds
and oh my… I know nothing of which I post after that. :-)
CrashDan – No additions? I’d hope you’d be on top of this.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
That's why
I record the stage in the morning and watch it in the evening. I can’t understand why they have Craig and Bob comment on the evening broadcast…
"The peleton has literally exploded"
A famous Sherwinism. Literally?

He says that all the time!
I used to think he was just stalling for time until he thought of the rider’s name, but now I don’t.
That should read...
“A certain man by the name of…”

Not to worry... the official PdC list...
... will be supplemented on the first rest day…

Oh good stuff! Happy to know you will keep us going with that one!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Under the rules, do we have to drink
when they show a crash in the promos, too? If so, many will die.
I’d like to add that you have to drink when they explain about riders drafting in the team cars.
And how can we leave off "dancing on the pedals!?"
Also, drink whenever Paul repeats the last thing Phil said.

You're right; maybe we should switch to feeding quarters into a kitty instead.... :-)

"This is going to be really grippy racing"
“Grippy racing indeed Phil…”

It's The Wife here...
...and I have added an additional drinking moment:
- Any mention of Filippo Pozzato—however, you must precede the drink with the “Enrico Pallazzo” chant.
I shall consider adding the other suggestions listed here. Keep an eye on the ever-evolving game at: http://gritsnyc.livejournal.com/
P.S. The beauty of this game is that you can decide when the rules kick in. It might be safest to wait until the 50K mark…
"If you touch the brakes now,
you will instantly lose 15 to 20 places” is my favorite Paul-ism on every sprint stage.
The riders will approach 150 miles per hour
on this descent!
Another Paulism. The number seems to increase year to year.
As do the references to his "mate, Sean Yates, a fabulous descender." :-)
