VP Debate Drinking Game

[Troy McClure]

Since we had one last Friday, might as well get drunk again, though it could fully result in needing a new liver afterwards.

The Official* Vice Presidential Debate Drinking Game!

1. Every time Palin mentions one of her kids by name, take the number of drinks corresponding to that child’s number in her brood (e.g. 1 drink for Track, 2 drinks for Bristol, 3 drinks for Willow, 4 drinks for Piper and 5 drinks for Trig). If she does not give a name, take 1 drink.
2. When Palin mentions 9/11 in a textually-relevant manner (e.g. “We need to prevent another attack like the one on 9/11″), take 1 drink. When Palin mentions 9/11 in a gratuitous, textually-irrelevant manner (e.g. “When my son Track was sent over to Iraq on 9/11…”), take 2 drinks.
3. If Palin uses the phrase, “hockey mom”, drink until she takes the self-satisfied smirk off her face.

For Joe Biden:

1. Every time Biden chuckles condescendingly at Sarah Palin, take 1 drink. Every time Biden chuckles condescendingly at moderator Gwen Ifill, take 2 drinks.
2. Every time Biden refers to himself in the third person, take 1 drink. If he uses his full name (e.g. “When people ask me, ‘Joe Biden, how did you become so good looking?’”), take 2 drinks.
3. If Biden points out that despite being less than 1/100th the size, Delaware has more people than Alaska, drink until you see the bottom of your glass.

If either candidate says:

1. Russia, take 1 drink. U.S.S.R., take 2 drinks. Swimming the Bering Straight, take 3 drinks.
2. Hillary Clinton, take 1 drink. Bill Clinton, take 2 drinks. Monica Lewinsky, take 3 drinks.
3. Dick Cheney, take 1 drink. Tricky Dick, take 2 drinks. Sucking dick, take 3 drinks.

Finally, if at any point Biden uses the phrase “I know Geraldine Ferraro; Geraldine Ferraro is a friend of mine. Governor, you’re no Geraldine Ferraro,” chug your beer, turn off your TV, and shoot yourself in the head.
Note: Slander ‘08 only condones drinking irresponsibly during election years when you need it most.
* UPDATE: It has come to our attention that there has been more than one VP drinking game spreading about on the internet. We’d like to let you know that ours is the “Official” Vice Presidential Drinking Game as it is the only one approved by perennial congressional alcoholic Ted Kennedy and his brain tumor.

Then there is also this one if you can find some Moosehead.
Sarah Palin Vice Presidential Debate Drinking Game

--Take a chug of Moosehead beer whenever Sarah Palin says the following:
maverick
reformer
any sentence including the words "neighbor" and "Russia"
small-town values
Gwen or Joe (remember how many times Palin said "Charlie" during the Gibson interview?)
off shore oil drilling
Alaska
"Thanks but no thanks!"
witchcraft (not likely...but hey, you never know, especially if Kathleen Parker's name should pop up)

--Take two chugs of Moosehead whenever Sarah Palin does the following:
Utters a coherent sentence (i.e., contains a subject and a verb and makes logical sense)
Talks about her new friend Henry Kissinger or Hamid Karzai
Explains how being the part-time mayor of Wasilla, Alaska with a full-time city manager counts as executive experience

--Chug a whole bottle of Moosehead if Sarah Palin mentions the following:
Palin Presidency
On second thought, make that two bottles of Moosehead.

I've already got my liver transplant scheduled for Friday morning.

“When people ask me, ‘Joe Biden, how did you become so good looking?’”

Hahaha!

[dubman]

the mccain/obama one was somewhat predictable. people watched it to note for any gross deficiencies but there werent any, really.
so it was okay to watch and wasnt particularly stressful
but i am calling sneaky tricks on this one. i dont know what the palin camp is going to pull but there's no goddamnw ay it's going to be played straight. it's going to be devious and evasive. it's going to tussle against someone with loooooong years of international experience and the only thing she has to do is escape relatively unscathed for major bonus points. i do not like this one bit. i will be hiding underneath a large amount of covers with small black pills and my BB gun. and maybe my laptop, talking on aim, going "oh god oh god oh god what are they doing ughguhghghughghghhghhhhhhh"

best case scenario: she rambles on and on and on and either ends up sounding either like a wikipedia refrence desk or a second kouric interview. biden calls her out on errors shes prone to make to keep it interesting because he has to keep his "gosh im an old man and im mighty flustered by this crap" to a minimum. mccain tried to warm up to this but the little time he did show it he just looked like ol fudders.

worst case scenario: biden "bullies" palin. he talks down to her so much the republicans will be hollering sexism again just because they can. palins flubs are overlooked, and analysis ends up saying "she actually sounded a lot more articulate and might not be given enough credit after all."

I'm gonna need my stomach pumped if I play along the whole debate..

[nosajmunson]

Well, after the Debate last night, I ended up in the emergency room with Alcohol poisoning, again.

I told the Doctor that I didn't want to feel the tube down my throat when he pumped my stomach, cause I hate that feeling. He said not to worry, he had an unapproved method, but it always worked and no one complained. He then said "I'm a real Maverick here at the hospital".

I then chugged the flask in my pocket and proceeded to pass out on the gurney.


Man, I am really looking forward to the next debate.
