Ace's Dreadful Debate Drinking Game

Thanks to the contributors here for getting the ball rolling. I can't credit everyone by name -- it would interupt the flow -- but suggestions are derived from the comments in this thread.

I don't suggest that anyone actually play this drinking game. It's dreadful.

Rules:

* If John Kerry says "I've been very clear" on his unclear position on Iraq, sip.

* If John Kerry says "I've always maintained" this or that, chug.

* If John Kerry says "My one core principle is that I think I'd look pretty damn spiffy walking up the steps to Air Force One," ingest an entire bottle of shoe polish, "just to say you did it."

...

* If John Kerry says "W is for Wrong," drink.

* If John Kerry says "Q is for Quagmire," do an upside-down beer bong.

* If John Kerry says "C is for Cookie and that's good enough for me" and then begins devouring his lectern like a muppet with the munchies, get in touch with Liza Manelli's "back doctor" and claim you've got lower-lumbars in desperate need of realignment as well as a "kind mellowing."

...

* If John Kerry says he was a prosecutor in the eighties, take a sip.

* If John Kerry says he has served on the Senate Intelligence Committe since the eighties, do a shot.

* If John Kerry says he banged Morgan Fairchild in the eighties, quit your job and become a full-time binge-drinker -- the craze that's sweeping the nation -- because that just might get him elected President.

...

* If Bush appears too damn cocky by smirking, take a sip.

* If Bush appears too damn cocky by winking, chug.

* If Bush appears too damn cocky by inviting John Kerry to "pull his finger," get sloppy-drunk and begin calling up ex-girlfriends to ask them "Do you ever miss the good times, and/or my wiener?"

...

* If Kerry claims that Bush lacks the credibility to lead the world, drink.

* If Kerry claims that "foreign leaders support" him, chug.

* If Kerry recounts a three-way he once had with Charo and Yahoo Serious, go down to the NYU Drama School dormitory and see if you can't pick up a contact high.

...

* If John Kerry calls our allies a "phony colation," take a drink.

* If John Kerry calls our allies a "coalition of the bribed and the coerced," chug.

* If John Kerry calls Tony Blair "a mincing little sweetboy with a prep-school man-crush on George Bush," load up a syringe with a mixture of sodium pentathol and clarified Komodo Dragon poison and inject it directly into your frontal lobe.

...

* If Bush says "They hate our freedom," take a drink.

* If Bush says, "The Middle East will become safer once they get that 'whiff of freedom' in their lungs," chug.

* If Bush says, "Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose" and then breaks out into the na-na-nah-nah-nah chorus from Me and Bobby McGee, coat a live parakeet in Everclear and kerosene and then swallow it whole.

...

* If John Kerry's skin coloration resembles that of Brian Dennehy, drink.

* If John Kerry's skin coloration resembles that of George Hamilton, chug.

* If John Kerry's skin coloration resembles that of Benjaman J. "The Thing" Grimm, use a rubber-headed mallet to pound the your genitals into a pulpy oblivion until you see the "Star-Child" from 2001: A Space Odyssey and begin whispering "It's full of stars."

...

* If Bush pronounces "nuclear" correctly when referring to nuclear weapons, sip.

* If Bush says "nook-lar" when referring to nuclear weapons, chug.

* If Bush avoids the word "nuclear" entirely by calling nuclear weapons "sub-atomic clusterfucking whats-its," dip a fountain pen into a cup of liquified heroin and stab it straight into your pudendum.

...

* If John Kerry mentions Vietnam, use an envelope to inflict a paper-cut on your tongue.

* If John Kerry says that he won't allow anyone to "question his patriotism," cut off the pinkie on your off-hand, Yakuza-style.

* If John Kerry says "As a Vietnam veteran, I won't stand here as someone who served in Vietnam having my patriotism questioned by someone who did not serve in Vietnam, and that is the lesson of Vietnam, as I learned while serving in Vietnam as a Vietnam veteran in the Vietnam War patrolling the rivers of Vietnam," take out a two-man lumberjack's band-saw and inflict upon yourself an abdominal wound the approximate severity of that suffered by Quint at the end of Jaws.

And note: Apparently the Dems are mass-emailing to rig the stupid, unscientific on-line internet polls that don't mean a thing (although the responsible media will cite them anyway, just to fill time).

American Daughter has a list of the polls that they're planning on spambombing. It's so juvenile and childish, but I guess we have to spam-bomb back.

Honestly, this is so dumb.

"coat a live parakeet in Everclear and kerosene and then swallow it whole"

hahaha that is a brilliant bit of imagery!

great stuff, ace!

Thanks, Jennifer.

But don't try any of this at home.

Posted by: ace on September 30, 2004 06:13 PM

C'mon, don't be so hard on yourself-- these are great.

That Star Child line had me shooting my Dominion Ale out my nose. Like a Viking.

Good stuff, and ten times funnier than the other "games" I've seen go around today.

And Ace-- I'm not just saying that because it's time for your palimony payment.

Cheers,
Dave

There is *one* thing Bush could say that would knock me to the floor: If he ever explicitely states that he "...agrees with the John Kerry position of "

If Kerry's pedicure doesn't match his manicure, drink.

Posted by: eaglefan on September 30, 2004 06:27 PM

News is from Susan Estrich on Fox News that Kerry's debate preps involved having a manicure this morning. Estrich was howling with the Fox's Brit Hume....."Noooooooooooo! What was he thinking??" Not an auspicious start in Kerry's effort to connect with Joe Sixpack in Ohio tonight.

In honor of the "manicure", all those playing the drinking game get to chug a shot of Jack Daniels 1 hour before the debate starts.

ACE - BTW - I don't know if I can comply with the rules. I don't have a live parrot, but my neighbor has a parakeet I can down. But that would likely be the end of my girlfriend's putting up with me, and my neighbor inviting us to their Christmas Party!! And I am out of clarified pure Komodo Dragon poison.

Posted by: Cedarford on September 30, 2004 06:31 PM

Cedarford-- don't worry about lacking clarified pure Komodo Dragon poison. You can always substitute Mad Dog 20/20 for it.

Cheers,
Dave

Sweet. Of course, I'm living in a section of Florida affected by the hurricanes and where you can not currently purchase alcohol (thank you big daddy government), so I guess I'll have to break out the Creme de Menthe to play.

RE: Spamming online polls:

I think refraining from counter-spamming might actually work better. I'd like to see the talking heads say, "An online poll at XYZnews.com shows 98% of viewers think John Kerry won the debate." The more successful the spamming, the more ridiculous the result.

Posted by: DTLV on September 30, 2004 06:52 PM

Thanks Dave! Out of MD 20/20 but the liquor store is still open. Haven't had that stuff since I was 17. Probably undrinkable, but I can use it stripping varnish off an antique bureau I bought.

As a pre-debate treat, Comely Miss Vipertongue, Ann Coulters column, http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15315, which leads off with this zinger paragraph:

Recent polls show Bush ahead of Kerry by 9 points (CBS-NYT), 6 points (Gallup) or 3 points (Zogby). One Pew poll even put Bush ahead of Kerry by 16 points. The average of national polls has Bush 6 points ahead. Apparently, just like in Vietnam, it's taken Kerry only four months to piss off everyone around him.

Posted by: Cedarford on September 30, 2004 06:55 PM

Scout--

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

15 years old, at my buddy's house, first time I ever got drunk. We hit nearly every bottle in the liquor cabinet, but I distinctly remember downing most of the Creme De Menthe.

To this day, fifteen years later, I can *still* taste that stuff.

Don't do it-- your life is too important, pal.

Cheers,
Dave

What about a shot for every time Kerry has his tounge sticking out?

Posted by: Uncle Jefe on September 30, 2004 07:15 PM

I think we should help them spam the polls, only liberals will believe the results and they might just decide their votes aren't needed. We're going to win, but a landslide like Reagan had (which we might get anyway) would be really sweet.

Posted by: Bullwinkle on September 30, 2004 07:17 PM

Ace,

You freakin' madman. You need a "don your depends" warning before posting this stuff. I was holdin' it pretty good till you dealt the Quint card from the bottom of the deck.

Star of Shazam and Chuck (where he co-starred with Adam Baldwin, btw) Zachary Levi endorses Trump, says "We're going to take this country back"
Levi opened the event by explaining that he initially was backing RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential election, and when Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi knew to whom he was sending his support.

I've had a feeling about this guy. A while ago he condemned the "attacks" on Brie Larson and the Captain Marvel movie, but I got the sense he felt he had to do that, because he's in a compromised position: a non-leftist in Hollywood. Glad to have him. I mean he's not Gary Oldman or Nicholas Cage or Star of Stage and Screen Nick Seacy, but he'll do.
Nine Inch Nails started off as a yacht rock band, you know
Sounds more like Kool & the Gang to me. They later changed their sound and recorded it for The MTV

Wait did Whitesnake start as a yacht rock band too?
Again, I think this is much closer to early eighties R&B than yacht rock.

Yacht or Nyacht?
With a combined score of 49.5 on Yacht or Nyacht, I'd say this one is a "Nyacht." No Hoe Snow snap. Not bouncy. Pretty dreary. No smooth groove. You won't be able to snort cocaine out of the cleavage of a "Naval Mabel" or "Poopdeck Patty." Or even if you do, it will be half-hearted at best.
From Instapundit, a Free Beacon Fact Check:
Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled.
Haines wasn't entirely wrong, according to a Washington Free Beacon fact check. Biden doesn't have much in common with the Beatles, but they're both half-dead, half-octogenarian relics who haven't accomplished anything of substance since the 1970s. We rate Haines's claim "mostly true."

I guess that's true if you're talking about the Beatles. But individual members of the Beatles did some decent stuff in the 80s.

To state the supremely obvious, eliminating the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade also enables a future Congress to ban all abortion nationwide.

This is a fantastic (casual) driving song, when you're actually driving a little below the speed limit because you don't really have anywhere to be.
Going forward, if we have any arguments about what is or what is not Yacht Rock, we can just consult the Yacht or Nyacht? website, which has ranked hundreds of songs according to their Yacht Quotient (YQ). I can see this website stopping arguments, fistfights, and formal duels.
In solidarity with the MSM, Rich Lowry and National Review vilified the Covington Kids as racist agitators back in 2019. Now, it’s Rich Lowry being canceled for an accidental slip of the tongue that sounded like a forbidden word. There’s a lesson here for the Polite Right, but they won’t learn it. [Buck]

I'm not sure this is even Yacht Rock. This might just be very soft rock. I can't see myself sniffing cocaine from a Boat Hoe's cleavage to this song, which is the primary criterion of Yacht Rock.
But I think this song more crosses from the shallows of soft rock to the cresting majesty of Yacht Rock. This is definitely bouncy enough for Hoe Snow. Very smooth, a little folky, a little jazzy. It's got that Hoe Snow snap.
