Tonight's the big night!!! Are you ready to get wasted?!?!

• Take a drink:

  

  When Scott Hamilton: 1. Raises his voice: “triple tooooooe” “double luuuuutz” 2. Laughs when someone lands a jump: “hahahahaha oh!!" 3. "Beaaaaaaaautiful" 4. Says someone is "truly special." 5. Talks about maturity.

• 

  Any use of the word "fire" or fire metaphors when describing a skater's performance. For example: "hot off the tales of her win at Nationals" or "that was a fiery performance."

• 

  Any use of "this young lady." Ex. This young lady was second at this years' World Championships. This young lady could surprise some folks. This young lady loves to listen to Lady Gaga before competing. Etc.

• 

  Someone falls. Finish your drink if they don't get up.

• 

  When an athlete is referred to as a "national treasure." Ex. Kim Yu-Na is a national treasure in her native land of Korea.

• 

  Any ballerina comparisons. Ex. She is skating so elegantly, like a ballerina on ice.

• 

  Any mention of an American figure skating legend. Ex. Peggy Flemming, Tonya Harding, Kristi Yamaguchi, Dorothy Hamil.
