Noel, a/k/a The Polyamorous Misanthrope, who it turns out is wickedly creative, has devised a drinking game based on the crazy stuff that has happened on the huge, 1,500+ member yahoogroup she frequents called PolyFamilies. It easily applies to many various online polyamory communities since we see this stuff in lots of places. I've just never seen anyone make a drinking game out of it. If it were to catch on, there'd be an awful lot of drunk poly people.
I especially enjoyed these:
Take one drink for anyone who says they've been dating three weeks, live on opposite sides of the country and use spousal titles for each other;
Take two drinks if anyone posts looking for a nice female third who doesn’t mind helping with the kids and likes three-ways;
-and last but not least-
Take two drinks every time someone thinks that Stranger in a Strange Land would work outside of fiction.
Anyone who decides to try it out is invited to let me know what happens - send pictures! (And kudos, Noel - thanks for the laughs.)
Monogamy works well for some but not others. Social status, religion, race, sexual orientation, and political philosophy don’t matter. Honesty, openness, love, commitment, communication, patience, and egalitarianism do. Here I pass along what I’ve learned and teach at events on common challenges polyamorists encounter and their practical remedies, along with thoughts on related subjects such as community organizing, activism, and sexual freedom. Feel free to comment – and welcome!

Thanks, Anita, but actually I don't own that. My ex-wife does. I just hang out there and lend a hand with what limited moderation (NONE) that it gets.
