The “In Plain Sight” Drinking Game
I wrote earlier this week on Be the Story about how I was getting into In Plain Sight. Unfortunately, if you’re unfamiliar with the show, I can neither confirm nor deny that it even exists. We all know, you know, but we don’t actually know. The location at which this game will occur is also top-secret.
And please, if you invite Jinx and Peter, fill their glasses with plain orange juice or tomato juice or apple juice or some other suitably thick and/or sweet liquid. At least they’ll be able to get sick with you.
Here are the rules:
- Drink if Mary snaps at Stan or anyone else who could turn her life into a living hell.
- … or if she says something intentionally insensitive to a grieving witness.
- … or if she walks out on Raph or another loved one while he’s trying to be communicative.
- … or if she goes out of her way to avoid apologizing.
- Drink if Mary gives legal counsel to a witness or family member suspected or accused of a crime. Make it a shot if the high-priced idiot defense attorney is actually in the room with them.
- If Jinx or Brandi cries, take a drink. (Make sure to drink twice if they’re crying together.)
- Take a drink whenever anyone mentions Mary’s estranged father, whom she hasn’t seen in umpteen years since she was a little girl, but whom she apparently has obsessed over every day of her adult life. Make it a double if tears are involved.
- Drink whenever a witness breaks a WITSEC rule.
- … and if the witness did something that could obviously and directly get him killed, make it a double.
- … and if he did it on purpose, make it a triple.
- … and down an additional shot if gunplay results.
- Speaking of gunplay, take a drink whenever a US Marshal pulls his or her gun on an innocent person, then re-holsters it without a second thought. And feel free to let out an “Oy vey!” beforehand. (Just not during the Jewish episode.)
- Whenever Mary or Marshall pull out their badges for personal reasons, drink. Drink again if they also pull out their guns.
- Take a shot if three or more government agencies are all mentioned together in the same scene.
- Lastly, drink whenever Brandi calls Raph “Chico.”
Please submit additional rules below, but be careful not to break any of them, or you could be expelled from the program.

I admit that I love it when Marshall says something nerdy. And it’s so cool that most of the time I know exactly what he’s talking about.
Ugh. Now I’m watching another episode where someone is into something, and they’re trying to pass off the costs as “tuition and textbooks.” Fortunately, they don’t pop up too often.

How about:
-when Marshall says something nerdy
(Although maybe that’s not in the spirit of the game, as that’s actually one of the better parts of the show.)
