Do My Work For Me: Debate Drinking Game

Boy, it sure is fun painting this white picket fence. I can't believe how lucky a boy I am to be painting on such nice day.

You want to try paintin' the fence? I don't know. It's really a lot of fun. What do you have in trade?

AnnieL wants to know what sort of a drinking game can be played during the debate. I'm stumped, myself-- I've never played drinking games, unless you count "drowning your feelings of inadequacy and residual childhood rage with Nyquil and prescription back-pills" as a "game."

So, if anyone has any good ideas, post them here, and I'll use the best ones for a Debate Drinking Game.

Ace of Spades HQ: Interactive Entertainment. And by "interactive," I mean I just sit here and drink Nyquil-and-prescription-back-pills highballs.

I got one. Everytime the word "Vietnam" is used take a drink.

On second thought that might end up with people dying....

I have a feeling Kerry is going to use 'I have been very clear on this' to mask the fact that he hasn't been clear on anything. If he mentions Vietnam even once, I think it's all over for him.

Debate drinking game:
1. Every time Bush uses a malaprop take a drink.
2. If the word 'nuclear' is mispronounced take a drink.
3. If Kerry breaks out in flop sweat, take a drink.
4. Every time Kerry's response is longer than Bush's take a drink.
5. If Kerry finishes speaking and you still have no clue what his position is, take a drink.
6. If Kerry revises his position on an issue during a debate, take a drink.
7. If Kerry insults one of our allies in Iraq or Afghanistan, take a drink.
8. Every time 'Vietnam' or 'TxANG' is mentioned, take a drink.
9. If Ghengis Khan is pronounced 'Jenjiss Khan', take a drink.
10. If you're watching it on CBS and Dan Rather uses forged documents to bash Bush in his analysis, drink the rest of the bottle.

When this results in alcohol poisioning, I will not take responsibility. I actually told you not to drink that much before I told you to drink that much.

Brett -

Come on, that's way to complicated. Take #4, for example. You expect a drunk to keep track of how long Kerry speaks? He'll just fall asleep! Even sober people will just fall asleep...

Let's keep the rules simple. Just listen for specific words (or phrases). Focus people! Focus!

(# of sips from the beer glass - word or phrase)

1 - Vietnam
1 - Fallujah
1 - I have been [very] clear (Kerry only)
1 - weapons of mass distruction
2 - Cambodia
2 - Halliburton
2 - Texas Air National Guard
2 - gay marriage
3 - Quagmire
3 - Bin Laden
3 - Terezzza
3 - Dan Rather

PS It may be a long way to complicated, but I really meant "too".

Posted by: RIch on September 29, 2004 01:28 PM

On the Kerry side:

1. Every time Kerry says "don't spin here" or any reference to spin, chug-a-lug.

2. Any time Kerry metions a Republican "secret plan", a jello shooter.

3. "Tax cuts for the richest Americans." Drink up. Same goes for "ignoring the Poor, the elderly, etc.

4. Any reference to doing things "better than Bush" without actually providing details, means another gulp.

On the Media Side:

1. Anytime you think you can ask a better question than the one being posited, hoist your tankard and drink deeply, knowing you'd be right.

And here I have been thinking that Nyquil and pain pills were only ol'Smitty's problem....

Ok,Rich, you win:
amend #4: Anytime John Kerry starts to put you to sleep, take a drink.

Regretfully, as Bush is a "dry Christian", no Presidential Drinking Contest is likely.

I suspect if he fell off the wagon he would be a riot though. A wee bit cruel, but witty.

You know, if I wasn't married, sober, and saved, I'd never been President, but I would have still had a lot of fun! Johniie baby, even with all your wife's money, you don't enjoy it, do you?? All soooo serious! Even when you play, like your wind flip-flopping, you look like you have a 2X4 shoved up your ass. OOoooo, Christ will be pissed at me for that! Whoops! But come-on John! You and Theresa???? Bwhaaaahaaaa! But I reckon after that prostate surgery it isn't a big deal. Hey, ya know Bob Dole? After you lose this election, he's looking for a famous miserable man for his commercials. Why does Theresa Botox your dick as well as your face? Oh, darn! That's another sin! Sorry, Jesus!"

Kerry shit-faced? Even more pompous, sonorous, slow self-promoting droning. Just slurred:

"As I saaaaaay,, 'hup! hup!', let me say that again, as I saaaayyyy, and I repeat myself as I saaay as a man who has said many things in combat, under great stress and pressure that would have daunted, yes daunted a lesser man than someone like myself, if I may saaaay........err, could you please repeat the question???"

I know Ralph Nader isn't allowed in the 2-Party lock on the system to speak, but I'd pay to see him go do a drunken "mano a mano" with Kerry and Bush:

"Neither of these corrupt suckers cares about mother Earth, Gaia! They are both whore-pimps of big business who don't care if a caribou lives or dies so we can have oil, more oil, more caribou blood for ooiiillll! Heee, heeeee, heeee!"

"Mr Nader, you seem to have some bleeding from the side of your mouth! Shall we take a break?"

"No, thasssOK! I just smiled for the first time in 40 years and my mouth wasn't used to the stretch...just a little skin crack....and speaking of Mammy's cracks...nooooooo, maybe I shouldn't with little innocent consumers watching...But come on! Caribou? You think I really care about caribou? Fuck the cari-Boooooo!! Boo-hooo for Caribooooo! They're just Greenie props. Come on! We don't want industry there so jobless Indians spend most of their time killing the Cari-Boooo that stupid wealthy environmentalists that give the money that has made me a multi-millionaire love so?????

Ralphie hunches into a conspiratorial stage whisper:

"The truth is there are 5 times as many cari-Booooo-Boooos at Prudhoe Bay after drilling dere, mean there, started. I know how it goes. I ate nothing but organic brown rice and vitamin infused Tofu for a year. I hate it. Eskimos hate caribou meat. Sick of it. They'd rather have the money so they could eat twinkies and other processed food 24/7. You drill in ANWAR - sounds like another war to me - Heee Heee! Shit I'm bleeding again! You do it, and Eskimos making 80K a year on their oil biz jobs get satellite TV, watch CSI, munch pizza, and could care less about going out in -30DEG weather to shoot 20 Caribou for their dogs or meat locker. ANWAR will be up to their ass in cari-fucking -boos!"

Posted by: Cedarford on September 29, 2004 01:45 PM

Holy crap, Cedarford just caused me to spray my monitor. Caribou blood for oil. I'll be laughing about that randomly for the rest of the day.

Posted by: Brett on September 29, 2004 02:04 PM

How about every time Kerry does the Disco finger jab you take a sip of beer. You'll still be blind-drunk in about five minutes though.

Posted by: Dacotti on September 29, 2004 02:23 PM

Every time Senator Lizard licks his lips, take a sip. You won't last long!

Posted by: Terry Notus on September 29, 2004 03:32 PM

1 for every time Kerry says "wrong." I'm hoping for the "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" line personally.

Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 04:48 PM

Everytime Dubya says something with that little heh-heh chuckle/ cowboy 'Aw shucks," grin and gets a laugh from the audience, take a drink.

Everytime Kerry looks cranky and says something that makes you want to punch his pompous horse face, take a drink.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.

One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
