Presidential Debate Drinking Game

After watching debate number one, I am currently convinced taht neither of these men are qualified to clean my toilet, let alone run the country. So, for the next debate I'm going to get people together and have some fun... feel free to join in if you feel like it.

The drinking rules for the second debate will be as follows:

One drink:
- If both candidates show up
- Every time either candidate says "fannie"
- Every time either candidate says "George W. Bush"
- Every time McCain says "my friends"
- Every time Obama says "um" or "uh"
- Every time McCain says "reform"
- Every time Obama says "change"
- If commentators talk during the break about a candidate being "calm and collected"
- If either candidate says "That's a great question..."
- Any time the word "maverick" is heard
- Any time the phrase "same ol' failed policies" is heard

Two drinks:
- If McCain pretends to have a heart attack on stage
- If Obama lights up a cigarette on stage
- If McCain says something in Spanish
- If Obama says something in Indonesian
- If Obama answers "present" to a yes-or-no question
- If McCain answers a question before the moderator finishes asking it
- If either candidate mentions "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" and "Mikheil Saakashvili" in the same sentence
- If either candidate mentions "Main Street" and "Wall Street" in the same sentence
- If Obama wears a flag pin
- If McCain wears a P.O.W. flag pin
- If the moderator asks the difference between "Sunni" and "Shiite"

Three Drinks:
- If the moderator asks the difference between "Hardees" and "Carls Jr."
- If three countries beginning with the letter "I" are mentioned in one answer
- If "tax cuts for the middle class" are promised by anyone, including the moderator
- If either candidate promises to change ocean levels upon their election
- If McCain pretends to favor border enforcement
- If Obama suggests the 2nd Amendment was intended to protect hunters
- If either candidate acknowledges the growing ninja menace
- If three countries ending in "-istan" are mentioned in one answer
- If Obama quotes Ronald Reagan
- If McCain quotes John F. Kennedy
- If Obama quotes Jesus

Finish your glass:
- If Obama claims to be Jesus
- If McCain claims to be Moses
- If Obama threatens to invade Pakistan
- If McCain threatens to invade Iran
- If either candidate promises flying cars

Bonuses!
- Do a Jägerbomb every time "the surge" is mentioned
- Shot of vodka every time Russia or Georgia are mentioned
- Shot of bourbon every time ethanol is mentioned
- Shot of tequila every time immigration or Mexico are mentioned
- Shot of rum every time hurricanes are mentioned
- Shot of scotch if the disembodied ghost of Ulysses S. Grant makes an appearance
- Shot of your own wretched tears when the debate ends and you realize that one of these two clowns is going to be the next President

I apologize if anyone thought I made up the game. LOL, I don't have that much time on my hands.

I would have credited who started it, had I known. It came to me uncredited in an email.

lol! I know, I just saw it on the news. HLF's Happy Hour night! I hope all of HLF's "opinionated characters" show up! Come on! It'll be great! It's healthy to debate.

ianimal- it was grape for me too :-) how nasty is that crap! Did you ever try cisco? Just as bad- both seem to induce vomiting. :-))))

HTmama!!!! 4 bottles???? ewwwwww!!! Of course the minister found you! Who else? lol great story, we can line 'em up at the laughing lion thursday! If we're gonna be honest, I pulled my best exorcist impersonation in a bar and let the chunks fly, ever so gracefully, under the table we were sitting at during a chip n' dales "performance" in Troy NY. That was from a mix of grape 20/20 and cisco. I will NEVER touch it again! ianimal, what's your story with the grape ape?

Matt, I graduated from Phillipsburg High School, which is geographically in New Jersey but always seemed to be more Pennsylvanian in attitude to me...

LMAO!!!!!! At both ianimal and htmama! I'm a very immature 35 years old. I'm still 23, I swear!!! I will never grow up and don't intend to. :-) I would love to start a new forum topic about alcohol puke stories, but I'm willing to bet it wont go over well. I have lived through vanilla ice, millie vanillie, NKOTB, criss cross, another bad creation and richard marx. Take it from me parents just dont understand. HORRIBLE! lol Thank god for STP, PJ and AICs!

As for Cisco... the last time I had it was before the Mets-Braves playoff game in 2000, I believe, (the one where Ventura won it with the walk-off grand slam/single). I bought it because we didn't have time to properly tailgate and figured that it would get us in the proper mindset, lol... we threw 3 bottles away.

The funniest thing about Cisco is that they sell it in 4-packs, as if it were a wine cooler, when it's 40-something proof, lol.

lol, you guys are funny! I typed a bad word last night and then repeated it several times, for my own entertainment purposes. I think my chianti may have been laced with mad dog 20/20. I was arrested last night by Chris and received a ticket for a TWI, Typing While Intoxicated. I had it reduced to a TWAI, Typing While Ability Impaired and 20 seconds of community service . . . . Get your pets spayed and neutered. There. Done.

"I lost everything I owned that night".

GC- is that a euphemism for throwing up or more literal than that?

Hammy got into your Single Malt Bushmill's? Can't trust a rodent...

I think I have half a bottle of Black Bush in the liquor cabinet I can let you have, but the Single Barrel Jack is off limits... not sure how much longer I'll be able to afford it, LOL.

OK, GC, I thought it may have been a DWI fatality... faculties and dignity can be regained, life cannot.
