BLOGGING: Just for Fun

 The Land of Painted Caves drinking game

You will need:
1 copy of The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
1 (or more) bottles of alcoholic beverage of your choice
Someone to drive you to the hospital / home stomach-pumping kit

Take a drink every time a new advancement is made within the Nine Caves or the general sphere of Ayla’s notice. If Ayla herself invents something (or utilises something in a freshly practical way) you must drink until the next point that Ayla's dress sense is complimented.

Take a drink for every ptarmigan killed with a sling, two if their fluffy feet get a mention. Alternatively, just keep drinking until you can’t remember how Creb liked the birds prepared.

Take a drink if Ayla adopts an animal, two if someone objects, three if it kills someone, and four if she takes out pet insurance with More Than.

Take three drinks every time Ayla and Jondular share Pleasures. Take another if mention is made of how ‘much’ of him she can take, and have some bar snacks and come back in a bit if it looks like he pleasures her first, then she reciprocates, and then they manage to get each other off simultaneously, all without pause. Have another drink if you think Auel ever had sex, ever. That's a bit mean. Have another drink if you think anyone ever had that sex, ever.

Take a drink every time Jondular’s ‘special affection’ for illegal teens is mentioned.

Have a drink every time Ayla saves a life.

Have a drink for every three pages of description unbroken by dialogue or plot-movement.

Have a celebratory drink if a) Ayla hears about Durc (two if she finds him) b) Ayla hears about her Clan or c) discovers her actual origins.


thanks to trishtrash at livejournal's bookmeme community for this very fun drinking game. I am now all set for the sixth and final book to be released.

That's too funny. I'm not an Auel fan but maybe Dickens is ripe for a similar drinking game. . . I'm sure someone has already invented one for Sookie Stackhouse.

I think there is a lot of potential for a lot of books.
What?! There's another book coming out?!

Hahahaha, oh God, that was funny. I read the first book in this series a really long time ago, the summer I got my first job, and I liked it okay, but not nearly enough to carry on with the series. And from all I've heard, solid call on the part of teenage me. :p

I really liked the first three or so, but they started to seem the same after that. I wasn't a teenager when I read them either. We called these the prehistoric sex books, not to be confused with the Scottish sex book (Outlander)
Ha! I am going to have to invest in some more alcohol before I read thsi book I think! I am number 6 in the library queue so I have a little time to stock up!

You're already in line at the library? Yes, you better stock up!
Funny - thanks for sharing.

It summarizes the books so well, in such a fun, snarky way.
Oh, I am so glad I wasn't playing this when I read Land of the Painted Caves. I'd be dead by now. PS, these video reviews of the previous five books are hilarious, http://www.youtube.com/user/jacktaylor1983#g/u

Ooh, imagine if you had read this before you read the book. I started looking at the video reviews, but they were too long for the time I had. I'll go back later, they looked funny.
Love this! Thank you for sharing it with us and give me a big laugh!

Glad I could give you a laugh! enjoy
Oh God it's so TRUE! Something tells me, however, that attempting this game with anything but sparkling cider will end in a visit to the hospital for a stomach-pumping.
So true! I'm halfway through and still waiting for signs of a plot, but if I had followed this formula I wouldn't care that nothing is happening ;)
