Typhoon Nabi, b.k.a. No. 14

There's a typhoon ("bigger than Katrina" as the newscasters here like to throw around) hanging out in southern Japan. I was watching the news yesterday to try and figure out whether its chartered course will disrupt my plans to leave the country. I learned instead just how lame Japanese TV news is. I found the drinking game below posted on a "news" site:


Typhoon TV news drinking game

Take one slug for every reporter standing outside in waterproofs telling you it's rainy/windy.

Take one slug for every shot of waves breaking over a not particularly interesting rocky shore or a tree blowing in the wind.

Take three slugs for the above, but at night time when everything is just a dark blur.

Take two slugs for every shot of a brolly being blown inside out.

Abstain for 10 minutes for each new item of real news about the typhoon - eg, another reported injury/death.

Guaranteed to be plastered within an hour of turning on the telly!


I only wish I knew what a brolly was.
