This is it! Well, it's more or less a collaboration between myself, friends, and the original game which eventually surfaced after tons of searching.

Oh yes, if you abstain, try using chocolate. Health nuts can use carrot juice or bean sprouts.

You'll need the following few items:

A hunk of 'Animaniacs' to play with

Working VCR and tapes brimming full of Animaniacs episodes

Brown pops, rum, vodka, chocolate, or those sprouts

Things are organized by CHARACTER, then EVENTS/MISCELLANY. I imagine a good way to play is for each participant to pick a character, then have one drink (ie: shot) for each denoted item in the list which happens during the episode. Everyone should drink for the EVENTS/MISCELLANY happenings. Unless otherwise noted by brackets (eg: (2)), everything is one shot.

Alternately, bold 'Animaniacs' can simply drink (or eat) whenever anything happens to anyone. Be careful!

There, that's it. It's been fun to create. Hope it's fun to use. Many thanks to my helpful friends, and to Jay Parker, [jbp3@Ra.Ms.State.Edu] for the A.t.a. FAQ file, without which I might have been lost. Cheers, folks.
