Talk:Buffalo (drinking game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on May 3, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

This line: "In theory, one would be allowed to drink with one's dominant hand if one were driving a vehicle with a stick-shift operated by one's non-dominant hand; but since drinking and driving is (sometimes lethally) dangerous, it should never be done. " should be removed. To even make the suggestion of drinking and driving is completely irresponsible. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chipahoy82 (talk • contribs)

I suppose whoever added it thought it was witty. It wasn't particularily funny and it didn't add anything to the article as I've never heard of this as a "rule" of the game, so I removed it. It's worth pointing out, though, that if a reputable source was found that drinking with your non-dominant hand while operating a stick shift is an official "rule", it would belong, regardless of the irresponsibility of it. - dharmabum 23:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, i'll be damned but this game sucks if your playing with someone who is ambidextrious... -chris

actually, i found rules on a canadian site that state you observe the person and see which is more dominant. have them do a task or something. Ceol3531 08:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is truly ambidextirous... even those who have a freakish level of skill prefer to use one hand or the other for the most basic of tasks, such as writing. What you need to do to confirm their preference, if they are adept enough to fool anyone, is observe them in situations where they have no reason to prefer one hand over the other - signing a cheque, that kind of thing. But honestly, it's a bit of a moot point - the number of people in this world who can write well enough with both hands to fool someone asking are very few - and, let's face it, if you have an ability that cool, using it to cheat at Buffalo is one of the least interesting but more amusing things you could do, so more power to them. dharmabum 10:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
