I think the best way to spend election night is to combine getting drunk with a bridge party. I think you can probably guess how the bidding will go.
Takes a whistful look back on my card playing days
Working some extra time. I figure no matter who wins my taxes and health care are both going up so ---------. And then I can drink heavily the rest of the year.
Why are you drinking martini and rossi? Cause it’s Tuesday! That’s what a wino says. A wino says that. - Patton Oswalt
Having said that, yes I am. In my state you can’t buy alcohol on election day but I always have some at the house. I’ll probably go with whiskey.
Gargle furq? Bat margle dinks oive din binking? Slobber ass a jooje!
I may make up a pitcher of Satan’s Spritzer if the election goes bad.
BTW… Mods, please have a sense of humor and DO NOT fix the thread title!
At least being “crunk” in public is not illegal yet in most places, AFAIK.
Hee. I see what you did there.
I just hope it’s decisive enough that Trump won’t challenge and draw this thing out. But yeah, it won’t truly fix anything.
So, the more reasons to get crunk for 4 more years…
This. I might wear a Hillary button whilst I drink.
If you catch yourself saying “Tarbinder - let’s have another round of friends for all my drinks” ---- stop.
I might bend the elbow a bit, but even if Trump wins I shan’t drown my despair in liquor.
I don’t like getting drunk, but days like this kind of make me wish I did. I’ll probably have a single glass of something reasonably authoritative; we’ll have to face tomorrow together, hungover or not, so I’ll at least be with you drunkards in spirits.
Ehh, my getting away with sliding my dad’s daily driver while up on two wheels at 80MPH without rolling it at 16 years old didn’t truly “fix” anything, either. But it was much better than the alternative.
Gotta always look on the bright side…
And well: I work tonight, voted weeks ago, and Texas restricts alcohol sales on plenty of days, but not election day. I’m getting drunk once upon a time called right now!!!
Voted.
I dunno how to put this so it doesn’t sound stupid or obvious, but it actually made me sick to see “Trump/Pence” as an option on the ballot. As if I could get to the booth and have the ballot read “Surprise! It was all just a Comedy Central prank!”
I’d stick a straw in that bottle of Knob Creek now if I didn’t have commitments until mid-evening. Not sure I can stand to wait up until 11:00 to get the first breathless, rushed, meaningless calls “with 0.1% of precincts reporting.”
Here’s to a map blue from see to shining see, and the GOP sinking into its hard-dug abyss, tied to the bloated, bloviating, stinking corpse of DT.
What is this “no alcohol sales on election days”? I have never heard of this. Sounds like it’s meant to prevent the drunken mobs from assembling. As if we can’t plan ahead :rolleyes:
Got the living room reserved, beers chilling in the fridge. FiveThirtyEight prepped on the iPad for facts, Breitbart for the hilarious meltdowns sure to follow.
I think I will follow NH PBS. There is a local guy up for executive councilor and maybe they will cover that in addition to being less over the top in covering the presidential results.
In 2008 I tried to buy some alcohol after voting and was told I couldn’t. Apparently my state reversed the law in 2010.
Supposedly the laws were originally designed to prevent politicians from offering alcohol in exchange for votes.
