Break out the Raspberry Cordial!!!!

UPDATE!!!!! It'll be on at 8.30, NOT 7.30. Outrageous!

When engaging in our beautiful and exciting Anne Party (see last post) tomorrow night, why not add a bit of pep to proceedings by playing:

POBJIE'S OFFICIAL ANNE OF GREEN GABLES DRINKING GAME!

You can play this game with whatever beverage you like, although obviously it will lend the occasion a particularly delicious piquancy if you can get hold of some raspberry cordial or currant wine. Or, even better, if you can get your friend to drink some currant wine which they THINK is raspberry cordial. Or just spike the Pepsi with vodka, it'll have the same effect.

Anyway, here are the rules of the game:

- Every time Marilla says "hold your tongue", DRINK!

- Every time Rachel Lynde judges someone, DRINK!

- Every time Anne says, "bosom friend", DRINK!

- Every time Anne makes reference to her imagination, DRINK!

- Every time Matthew interferes in Marilla's parenting, DRINK!

- Every time Diana says, "Oh, Anne!" DRINK!

- Every time someone refers to the negative side of having red hair, DRINK!

- Every time Miss Stacy grins annoyingly, DRINK!

- Every time Gilbert gives Anne a cheekily flirtatious smile, DRINK!

- Every time Anne gives Gilbert a haughtily nasty look, DRINK!

- Every time Anne's temper gets the better of her, DRINK!

- Every time anyone says "Anne with an E", DRINK!

- Every time Matthew awkwardly struggles to find the right words, DRINK!

- Every time Marilla mentions God, DRINK!

- Every time Josie Pye brings everyone down, DRINK!

- Every time Anne reaches a new level of academic achievement, DRINK!

- Every time Anne wastes a chance to score with Gilbert, DRINK!

- Every time you wonder what Anne sees in Diana, DRINK!

And of course,

- Every time someone has a heart attack and dies, DRINK!

Happy drinking, Annelites!



"That West Coast Cooler should kick in any second now..."

Let's Get Organised, Avonleaps!

UPDATE!!!!! It'll be on at 8.30, NOT 7.30. Outrageous!

It has come to my attention that this Saturday, 4th December (TOMORROW! EEK! Do we have time????) at 7.30pm, Channel Seven will be screening seminal 1985 Canadian telemovie "Anne of Green Gables", also known as The Greatest Story Ever Told.

In celebration of this fact, I call on all men and women of goodwill to join together, cancel any frivolous, futile plans you might have had for that night, and sit yourselves down to watch this masterpiece in a spirit of community and togetherness. If you like, you can gather your friends around in a literal "Anne Party", but even if you're watching alone, you shan't be, for we shall be holding a VIRTUAL Anne Party, all of us, around the nation, watching together, feeling the spirit and the message of Anne, bound together by the bonds of bosom friendship and period romance just as surely as if we were in the same room. On that night we shall all be brothers and sisters in Anne. It will bring us closer together, and by Sunday morning we will all be better, kinder, gentler people for having watched it together.

Why not join the anticipation on Twitter? The Anne Party hashtag, it has been decreed, is #anneparty. Use it to engage in discussion before, during and after the broadcast, to inform about preparations for the Anne Party, and just to commune with like-minded souls.

See you there, Annelites!
