VP Debate Drinking Game 2008
**edited at 4:20am (sobered up a bit) to include frequency of each**
This game can be played with beer, wine, and/or liquor. If you're going to have liquor I suggest having beer too. Change all the "swigs" to "shots" and chug your beer.
*
PALIN says anything comically retarded about Alaska, Russia, or Canada. (two Swigs) [one]
*
BIDEN says he takes the train home every day. (one swig) [none]
*
PALIN says "Maverick" (one swig) [SIX FREAKIN TIMES!!!]
*
BIDEN talks about Scranton, Pennsylvania, his birthplace. (keep chugging till he stops) [Twice]
*
PALIN says "well you know" (one swig) [three]
*
BIDEN gets unnecessarily loud. (two swigs) [none! good for him]
*
PALIN says "like" as a discourse particle or interjection. (chug till she stops talking) [none! good for her!]
*
BIDEN audibly laughs at Palin. (one swig) [None]
*
PALIN stares blankly when she can't answer a question. (two swigs) [twice]
*
BIDEN makes a sarcastic joke that goes right over Palin's head, along with about half the viewers. [two]
*
PALIN fills time by mentioning her children and family and listing all of their names and occupations. [one]
*
BIDEN mentions his helicopter being forced down in Afghanistan. (two swigs) [none]
*
PALIN stumbles over her words (chug till she pulls it together) [four]
*
BIDEN mentions "George Bush" or "eight years" (chug for 8 seconds) [lik2 11 in one statement lol]
*
PALIN says "that's why I love John McCain's _____" [Fill in policy, viewpoint, or "other"] [once..though there were lots of dreamy eyed moments]
*
EITHER of them say "Main Street" [i lost count....at least 5]
To be Fair: She may do just fine. (as in no MAJORLY ABSURD remarks) She's had time to prepare and the moderator won't be quite as pressing as Katie Couric. (though I hope she is!) Usually, the Moderators are pretty soft during debates.
We've been looking forward to this debate all week here. It better be good. haha.
And now for my quick take: She did as I predicted....okay. By ok, i mean no major embarrassing moments; however, she clearly has no idea what shes talking about beyond her memorized speeches. You can actually watch her mind click into her speech. "when in doubt go to my tax speech, energy speech, etc" im sick of the talking points. Overall it was much more interesting than the obama mccain debate and while she held her own, the bottom line is do I trust her to run the country if John mcCains 72 yr old body gives out? No.

| I realize I havn't written in forever....so that makes this random post even more random...but I know you'd all enjoy this so watevs.
Some of our pleasant neighbors have been overheard screaming: "You wanna live here, learn the language!" English is VERY odd and difficult to learn and this is a fun little poem that points out our inconsistencies. FOR BEST RESULTS: READ ALOUD. I made one mistake I said "both" wrong bc I saw "broth" coming.... Enjoy!
I take it you already know,
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead - it’s said like bed, not bead,
For goodness’ sake, don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose –
Just look them up – and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart –
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I’d mastered it when I was five.

| I just finished watching Requiem For a Dream.
It was one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen and was difficult to watch at times. VERY powerful. I have no other words at this time.
