Rick Steves drinking game
How would you play a Rick Steves drinking game?
If there were such a thing, you know, take a drink when you hear Steve say certain words, I would nominate:
Workaday -- As in "such and such is a workaday city.."

How about "grab"--such as grab a train, grab a bite...

Doesn't he end every show with "happy travels?"
Keep on travelin'!
Raise your travel dreams to their upright and locked position.
On his podcasts he's always asking a guest interviewee, "What's your take on that?"
Been awhile since I watched one, but doesn't "quaint" show up a lot?
There's also at least 2 Italy episodes where he signs off with "This is Rick Steves, missing my wife more than ever."
He also likes to use "salty" and "workaday" quite a bit when describing things.
Take a drink every time you hear the lisp. Guaranteed drunk after every episode.
The lisp????!
"thrills"
as in "maximum thrills per mile" or "sightseeing thrills" or "alpine thrills"
He uses the word "thrills" a lot.
If you tried it with the word "local", you might need to visit the ER for detox afterwards.
Here's another fun game...try this in Europe! Everytime you see a RS Guide Book you go and get a gelato!! Hahahahaha....they would need to roll me on the plane!!
"Ambience" And he pronounces it different than I do.
Whoever said he pronounces "ambiance" differently, remember when he used to say "oh-BLISK"? For someone who was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he does have some interesting accent quirks. I wonder if he gets it from the Scandinavians in his family.
evocative
ps: hope he realizes this is all in good fun .. apologies if no!
Will this make it to the Thread of the Month club?
"Women/men/kids/locals strut their [insert appropriate adjective] stuff.":)
Betsey's right, this is just good fun. We love Rick!
Yes Rick we love you!
Iran Sit back grab thrills
I second evocative! I'm not sure if I've ever heard anyone else use the word.
Jackie : I would like the Gelato game, more than the drinking game. My human body has low toleration for alchohol, high toleration for Gelato.
I read parts of all of Rick Steves' travel guide books on countries. Some people, reading a book by Rick Steves, might need his definitions of some of his words. -> "Cheap", in the phrase "...cheap places to sleep", and the phrase "...cheap flights to Greece...". And the term -> "Tight wads".
"Assume you'll be back"
Do I (burp) win?
Yep busted! Now we have to think of another game --- hop on the bus Gus.
How about for those who make "if this is Tuesday... it must be..." iteneraries--- get a new plan stan!
Steve : We thank you for posting that link to "Rick Steves drinking game" at this web page. I stopped reading Rick's blogs, at the end of his Europe travel season in the year 2008, or 2007. I thought the websight manager here said Rick Steves does not read any of the words that are on the Traveller's Helpline.
Audrey : Who is "Gus" ?
No need to be coy, Roy!
Just get yourself free.
Ron, we are quoting lyrics from a Paul Simon song and the song starts "Hop on the bus, Gus, get a new plan Stan, . . ." Great song!
