Life On Mars stole the drink thing!

[samureye]

Watching Life On mars just now a guy on the show just used the scam where you go a drinking contest and can't touch the other guy's glass. Not explaining myself the best right now but you should know what I am talking about.

Thought I would mention.

[bizzarefoods]

Yeah me too. I saw the setup and knew what it was right away.

Im too lazy to go look up the name but 2 pint glasses and 2 shot glasses one pint over a shot glass to win :D

Ohhh Holywood found Brian. Now if they could just write him a show!

[samureye]

Well, is it the Brian made it up or what?

Oh and technically since the show is based in 1973, they came up with it first.

BTW show is crap. Do not want.

It was the epsiode called The Race (i believe) it has been around a few other places as well, I don't think brian invented it per say but he did add his twist to it.

I jumped up right away when Hunt did the setup, paused my TiVo and started explaining the setup to my wife.....she just rolled her eyes and told me to hit play. LOL


I'd be curious to know if this exact trick was done in the original BBC version of the show or if it was localized for the US audience.


Either way it was awesome to see Harvey Freaking Keitel do it!

Cheers
