Revenge of the Presidential Debate Drinking Game
Oh, the things we have to get twenty-somethings to do in order to watch the debate. A little bit of history here….. Kilgore and his friends made up a drinking game before the first debate, and I made one up after the debate. Since then, I’ve seen lots of references to debate drinking games.
First, there was the Tina Fey reference on Saturday Night Live, in which she directly addresses those playing drinking games by saying “maverick” again.
Then, there was THIS report the Queen of my Universe saw and sent me:
My first thought after last night’s debate was the bigass grin Obama would get when McCain went after him. I thought those might be drinking prompts, but within hours someone you-tubed another prompt that’s even better… the McCain eye rolls.
First, there was the capture of the mother of all eyerolls here…
But wait….. there’s MORE! A MONTAGE of eye rolls. Much love to the artists.
And now, a word of disclaimer about drinking games. Drinking games can be just as fun with non-alcoholic beverages, and the penalties can be changed to anything from minor acts of self-mutilation to removal of clothes.
Drinking games can often end badly. Studies found that large segments of the urban population once played drinking games happily in their homes, then degenerated to sitting on their porches on hot afternoons leering at passing motorists.

MAVERICK!

My Friends …

CHUG CHUG CHUG.
(Will you be my porch monkey luvah?)
I’m pretty sure I’m not the first person to think of the presidential drinking game, but thanks for the shout out! The Tina Fey line was great, although actually the friends I was with know enough about whats going on that we can only stomach so much McCain, we basically just sit around and drink and bullshit like normal, and occasionally stop to listen a little.
And whats wrong with drinkin on the porch? I would if I had a porch. I also have to laugh not only at the porch monkey luvah, which is pretty random. Until Clerks 2, like Randall, I didn’t know porch monkey was a racist term. And like Randall I think we need to take it back for people of every color who like to relax on the porch with a beer and talk to their neighbors. Porch Monkey for Life! (as soon as I have a porch again)
Hey, I don’t have a porch either! but I aspire to one! Someday I’ll be a real Porch Monkey and you can come drink on our porch!
PS Koolaid I mean … or Crystal Lite.
Koolaid, Crystal Lite, I Guess you can put vodka or something in those but I usually just go for a beer, maybe wine.
