Yes it's a school night, but my girlfriend thought up an excellent idea for getting through the State of the Union with sanity intact.

It's the State of the Union drinking game party!  Invite your friends over, stock up on your favorite hard alcohol, and proceed...

  • Every time W says "September 11" or "9-11" take a sip.
  • Every time W says "hard work" take a drink.
  • Every time he says "evil" take a gulp.
  • Every time he says something to make the Republicans clap but not the Democrats, take a swig.
  • Every time the President says "pray" drink half your glass.
  • Every time the Commander in Chief makes an error of pronunciation or grammar, finish your drink.
  • Every time the Leader of the Free World says "Trent Lott's house" drink the whole bottle.

Any other suggestions for additional rules are welcome below.  Don't forget to hydrate!

  •  Skip right to chugging (none / 0)

    If you are able to guess who will be his "Mystery Date" for the evening. You know that special guest that that gets to sit up next to Laura the Librarian.

    I'm guessing it won't be anyone from say, New Orleans.

  •  Well.... (none / 0)

    ....a friend of mine suggested that we take a drink every time Bush lies, but since we've got classes the next day, that might not be such a good idea. Hangovers are no fun in class.

  •  I'm afraid of getting alcohol poisoning (none / 0)

    And his whole presidency makes me feel like I've already got one big hangover.  

    If you can't support the veterans you have, don't make any new ones.

  •  I think we need a teatotaller's game (none / 0)

    sox thrown at the t.v. was suggested, bottles of tea at the t.v. NOT suggested, houseperson's revenge (each time he lies clean out a drawer), blogger's revenge (each time he lies, email your congress critter with a new item for impeachment), bill payer's revenge (each time he tells us how well the economy is doing, write a check with a small 'impeach' below the memo)...
    you get the idea - change overt, well justified anger into positive action. Poll and diary to be arranged later.

    •  Bingo (none / 0)

      Bush Bingo

      Darts - put faces on the board, Cheney, Brownie, etc.  Have fun.

      Charities - anytime Bush uses victims to score points, throw change in their jar.  Military, NOLA, Pakistan earthquake, etc.

      Tourette's Tally - a partner game.  Every time your partner slaps their forehead, moans, prays, or yells at the TV - score them.  No points for storming out and negative points for throwing things at the television - unless you are the host.  Extra points for vacant stares and drooling.

      other suggestions?

  •  another suggestion (none / 0)

    How 'bout a fund-raiser for something/someone?
    Everyone watching pick a phrase, and every time the phrase or word is spewed, that person throws a dollar or five or ten in the kitty. Could be fun w/o causing damage, in fact could be a source of funding for your own favorite local candidate...
