October 25th, 2010 will be the 595th anniversary of the battle of Agincourt. This bit of sport can be played anytime, but there is special ceremony and significance if the game is played on the anniversary.
It is of vital consequence that the beer be British, the scotch be single malt (I'm partial to Laphroaig) and the steaks be eaten fresh off the grill without the benefit of utensils. If at all possible, bring along a poodle walking Frenchman (even a French flag draped Gervais would suffice) and express fond amusement towards him during the battle scenes as his ancestors are thwarted.
| The Rules | |
| Whenever the Chorus (Narrator) shows up | Take a drink |
| Whenever the Dauphin looks snotty | 1 drink |
| Whenever Montjoy flounces in | 1 drink |
| Have no damned idea what the hell Fluellen is talking about? | 2 drinks |
| When someone says, "Agincourt" | 1 drink |
| When anyone says, "France" | 1 drink |
| When anyone says, "England" | 1 drink |
| During "Non Nobis, Domine" | Sing and drink... |

Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam
