Ebook article drinking game

From bookavore.tumblr.com, via Teleread, we now have the drinking game for reading all those articles about the impending death of print and doom for all civilization as we know it ebook effects on the publishing industries.

From the article:
  • “Will e-books wipe out/kill/decimate/pulverize/ HULKSMASH/angry verb real books?” — one drink
  • Every use of phrase “real book” — one drink
  • Expert you’ve never heard of before predicting percentages — one drink
  • Assertion that e-book prices are too high, and will lower soon — one drink
  • Assertion that e-book prices are too low, and will raise soon — one drink
  • Article uses vague Amazon press release stats misleadingly — one drink
  • The words “cuddle” or “snuggle” used to describe reading habits — two drinks
  • “smell of a real book” — clean out the liquor cabinet, drink until you pass out, wake up next morning, puke, then continue drinking
How many more can we come up with?
