The Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan Drinking Game

Another TV Dr. drinking game, to add to the Dr. House Drinking Game, and hopefully the second of a long series.

I borrowed the Bones DVD’s from my parents, and now I’m hooked. More importantly, this show looks like it would make a good drinking game. Here are a few rules. Please add more rules in the comments!

Cheers,

The Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan Drinking Game

• When Bones gets offended because someone else says the truth bluntly and dispassionately (“just making conversation”), take a drink.
• When Bones in one breath shows she’s an expert on every religious belief on Earth and then in the next shows she’s ignorant when it comes to Christianity, Judaism, or some other mainstream religion, take a drink.
