MythBusters Marathon/Drinking Game for President's Day

Well, our Valentine's Day hangover is slowly subsiding, so of course we're looking for our next ~~reason to get schnockered~~ holiday event. Luckily, we found out there's a MythBusters Marathon running all day Monday on the Discovery Channel, so we really won't have any reason to leave the house. That got us to thinking that there's got to be some great MythBusters drinking game we've never played, so we did some searchin' on the Infernets. Lo and behold, there was a great one, the bulk of the rules of which we've included below.

Oh, and if you're playing, expect to get 'Busted by early afternoon, because the marathon starts at 9 AM.

During the episode, take a drink if:
