Drinking game

A temporary escape from exile.
Friends and I play a drinking game whenever bush
has a state of the union speech. We do shots whenever
bush says the word “terror”. Now because bush lite has nothing
else, he is a complete failure as a president, he has to go to
the terrorism issue often. Now personal I can’t listen to
bush because I get physically ill whenever I hear him,
so I turn off my hearing aid and someone taps me whenever we
have to do a shot. Last year we got so drunk, everyone had to
walk home. There were 12 direct mentions of terror or terrorism or
terrorist. The entire last half of the speech was about terroism
and/or security. There is a paragraph or two about getting the
palestinians to democratically vote. Again be careful of what you ask
for, you might get it.

So play the game the whole family can play.
Make fun of the village idiot tomorrow night. It’s all he deserves.

Theres a similar game in the UK (that students play - not recommended for people who have jobs as will become clear-)

Play PMQ’s

Play by: watch prime-ministers question time on BBC2 ‘the daily politics show’ right before they show the footage a bookie comes on and gives 3 words he thinks will be mentioned. watch the gently unfolding drama footage and drink a shot each time one of the 3 words is mentioned.

of course given that PM’s questions is EVERY week! And is at noon, if you play with a job, your gonna loose your job fairly quick. Also the three specified words are very likely to come up as they a based on current news events.

This gets you very Ill, recommend drinking with beer and drinking 3 fingers instead.

If its your birthday: drink a shot everytime someone says ‘honourable friend’

This may help explain why Brits are such alcoholics

I am going out to drink heavily to avoid the
village idiot on the TV. I predict he will mention
9/11 or terrorism within 2 minutes of the start of his
speech. God, I hate that idiot.

i hear ya

Peter Kropotkin:I am going out to drink heavily to avoid the
village idiot on the TV. I predict he will mention
9/11 or terrorism within 2 minutes of the start of his
speech. God, I hate that idiot.

K: I am so mad right now. It took 3 minutes and 15 seconds
for him to mention 9/11 and 4 minutes to mention terrorist.
That idiot cost me a round of drinks by not saying 9/11 or terrorist
within 2 minutes.
I can still stand so I didn’t drink enough, dam.

Can I point out, PK, that this is a cross-party strategy, to overplay the threat in order to claim stater legitimacy? That the DemocRats tried the exact same technique at the last election? That this has nothing to do with Bush and that he’s just a convenient scapegoat for people like you.

Monday morning quarterback on the STOU.
Another stupid speech from a stupid man.
Bush made a claim for a line item veto.
This from a man who hasn’t veto one single
bill yet. The real value of his speech was the
arrest of Cindy sheehan for a t-shirt protesting
the war. That is the true symbol of this administration.
Silencing anyone who opposes the lies of bush lite.
The proclaim goal of this administrations is freedom
for anyone in world, except Americans. We get muzzled.
My favorite line was “we are addicted to oil”. That was rich.
He has done nothing in 5 years but pander to the oil companies
even being so nice as to invade countries for them.
What a loser.

Youre a republican?!

K: I grew up in a large family. There were 5 of us. 3
girls and two boys. this could have been the conversation
in my house growing up.

Oldest Daughter: Mom, Dad, I have news for you.
I am dating an axe murder and he wants to come live with us.

MOM: Oh, that is wonderful dear. I am sure we will like him.

Second oldest, first son (me): Mom, Dad, I am an anarchist and
I am going out to bomb the establishment into the stone age.

MOM: Well, I am sure you are going to do just fine in whatever
endeavor you put your mind to.

second Daughter: MOM, Dad, I have great news.
I am lesbian. My girlfriend and I are going to get married and
live at home.

MOM: I hope she is a doctor.
It would be great to have a doctor in the family.

Second son. MOM, Dad, I have great news.
I joined the army and am planning to kill as many people as
possible. I hope to kill thousands of traitors to the American cause.

MOM: Oh, that wonderful son. I know you will be the best
soldier you can possibly be.

last daughter: Mom Dad, I have great news.
I have decided to join the republican party.

MOM: OH, my god. How could you dishonor our family
like that. Get out and never come back ever. You slut.

That could be a discussion in my house.

Siatd,

I find it odd how you and Imp do the ‘democRATS’ thing when the Repubs were caught using a campaign video with a subliminal ‘RATS’ message during the parts the mentioned Democrats.

Pete,

I find it odd you hate on Bush so much. Bush doesn’t make the decisions… he’s an idiot, but he’s not deciding this stuff. Don’t hate the puppet… find the master.

No, I’m not a Republican. In the last US election I probably would have broken my own golden rule and refused to vote due to lack of viable candidates.

Kerry spent much of the election
a) playing up the terrorist threat
b) banging on and on about his military record and experience of leadership

He was basically a watered down Republican with a penchant for lying. What kind of Catholic alter boy gets divorced then marries a pig ugly heiress?

Oh, Peter!
If only I had a hearing aid to turn off at will whenever Bush or some other idiot talks!! The mute button works fine for TV, but in reality, I find I wish for it 20 times a day. I’m glad I’m not alone. His voice alone makes me shudder uncontrolably for several moments.

I do wish I would have seen your post prior to the speech. I forgot to watch it. That would have been a good time.

My particular favorite State of the Union was in 2002 when he gave his “Axis of Evil” speech. I was in Model United Nations that year in college and my school was Iran. That was a riot. Everyone hated us!

Peter Kropotkin: “Now personal I can’t listen to
bush because I get physically ill whenever I hear him,
so I turn off my hearing aid and someone taps me whenever we
have to do a shot.”

False indigo: “Oh, Peter

K: What really surprises me is how people claim bush is an effective
speaker. If you actually watch him objectively, you would quickly
realize he might be the worst public speaker, we have had
since tricky dick. He tries to shovel shit even he doesn’t believe.
The only aspect of the GOP agenda bush believes is the old
stand by of tax cuts. Keep cutting taxes until we have no police,
no fire, nothing left of the state is the goal. the problem with
that little agenda is the world we live in. So they are hosed
by their own petard, trying to cut taxes and still maintain
an aggressive “conquering the world for democracy”.
It is doomed to failure.

Now as far as my hearing aid, the older I get, the more useful
it gets. To turn off my hearing aid when I listen to morons is
quite a satisfying feeling. Who knew a birth defect could be
so useful? Certainly not I.

Now not much makes me snigger due to memory issues, which I try and take care of with appropriate substances - how the aforementioned hidden (non-existent) master wins out over the individual - we just wish to forget yet it remains cast in paper files on shelves in pokey offices all over to be found again the next day glaringly self-consistent in the light of hangovers…
Uh …to forget so as to be surprised and laugh at the jokes our children tell us - such is the derivation of pleasure in life.
But. “hosed by their own petard”? Very good. That sniggered me jigger right up.

And on the subject of Bush ~ my Aunty May is an eighty-five year-old East Londoner who states - when America’s face to the world comes on the box: “Tt. Get him off. I can’t stand that ape.”
