I am by myself in Georgia tonight, and was wondering if we could put together a drinking game based on Election Night cliches. For example, whenever Dan Rather throws out an aphorism, an MSNBC pundit flips out (I’m looking at you, Chris Matthews), a channel mis-declares a state, etc.
What are some of the Teeming Millions’ ideas for this? Need answer fast so I know how much whiskey to lay in.
Drink every time you see a graph unnecessarily projected in 3d on CNN or MSNBC (a 3D pie chart is like a 3D stick figure)…you’ll be trashed before dinner.
I have six beers so I need to pace myself. If necessary there’s an inch or two of vodka in the freezer and if I’m feeling particularly self-destructive, a bottle of knockoff Cointreau and the dregs of my wife’s last bottle of scuppernong wine.
I’m really hoping things don’t get to the “Costco mouthwash” stage, but it’s there if I need it.
Well, of course. Who wouldn’t be pissed about rampant voter fraud and dishonest media polling designed solely to keep the Messiah on His throne? In a fair election decided by an educated electorate, Romney would win the biggest landslide in history.
Usually try to remain sane and sober, but not tonight. Stayed up til three playing with my sons X-box, set the alarm for 6:30 to go vote, woke up at six twitching. Tomorrow is cleared of all grown up agenda except for bitching and or gloating. Got a bottle of Maker’s Mark, and the National Guard has been alerted.
Let’s do this. Have a shot every time Rachel Maddow gives out a girlish giggle.
Anytime someone says “No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio.”
Those of us who have the misfortune of actually living in Ohio have been hearing it for the last 18 months . . . and our ice picks are all bloodied from sticking them in our ears. Now it’s you guys’ turn to suffer.
So it’s evolved from “The Drinking Game” to “The Ice Pick Game.”
