Actually, we use the "Tibetan Memory Trick" as a drinking game.
Whenever I drink with people I don't know very well I suggest
we play it...inasmuch as *I* already know it (and lead it), everybody
else gets plowed. 

The leader starts out and says "one hen".  The next person then says
"one hen" and so on around the circle until you get back to the leader.
Then the leader says "one hen, two ducks".  You get the rest.  If you
screw up you CONSUME!

One hen
Two ducks
Three cackling geese
Four corpulent porpoises
Five limerick oysters
Six hundred pairs of Dr. Freemanoid's famous eyebrow tweezers
Seven hundred Macedonian warriors in full battle dress ready to fight
Eight hundred pregnant penguins pushing their perambulators through
   Palasades Park
Nine hundred mortal morphodites practicing their magic in the
   precipitation of rain

...Well, I never stayed straight long enough to learn Ten.
