There’s an episode of wings where Robert Culp plays a wild and whacky ex-astronaut named Ace Galvin and at the end of the episode and he and this dumb kid are playing a game called “Blastoff” which is basically take a swig of whisky, scream BLASTOFF!!!and ram your head through the sheetrock.
Funny episode.

Naturally, I don't remember the name of the game, but it had tequila instead of whiskey, and sand instead of sheetrock. And I don't remember what we yelled. Or why. Great game.
