ATOT's Presidental Debate Drinking Game

[ultimatebob]

I feel somewhat obligated to watch tonight's presidential debate, although the idea of doing so seems boring after listening to these two candidates telling me what they think I want to hear for the past 18 months. So, to make it fun, I'm going to make a drinking game out of it!

Here's the UPDATED proposed scoring system:

* 1 drink for every time Obama says "change"
* 1 drink for every time McCain says "Maverick"
* 1 drink for every time someone says "bailout", "terrorist", or "bipartisan/reaching across the aisle"
* 1 drink for "scalpel" or "hatchet"
* 1 drink for "surge"

10/15 Debate Special: 1 drink for "Joe The Plumber"!

That ought to be enough insure that everyone gets drunk by the time the debate is over.

Feel free to add additional rules on your own... but don't complain about this post not being in the P&N forum. This topic is for a drinking game, not a place to argue about issues!

"Fundamental"

1 drink every time McCain says: Worshington, My Friends, Straight Talk, Raise Your Taxes, Media Elite, Jihadists, Extremists, Fundamentalists, Drill Now, Reform, Regulation, Wall Street, Main Street

10 drinks if McCain finally mentions the "middle class".

Ayers = 5 drinks
Keating = 5 drinks

Sounds good... but what are we drinking when Obama speaks?

You;re so fucked.

 

[Jack Ryan]

1 drink everytime Obama says "uhhh" or "ahhh".

1 drink everytime Obama points.

You automatically win if you agree with this -> Obama Poster

"Change" should do just fine.

 

[Pacemaker]

You forgot 1 drink anytime anyone says main street.

No, why dont you tell us?

 

[ultimatebob]

I think that the word "surge" should be worth a drink as well... what do you guys think?

 

[sash1]

hmmm... guess i have to go out and buy alcohol

 

[NoCreativity]

McCain: "What senator Obama doesn't understand" or variation of that
Obama: "90%"

I would think "bipartisan" would include the "reach across the aisle" variation.

"Change" said by either side will get you drunk within the first 5 minutes if you do hard stuff, half hour with beer.

I'm down for this with the rules stated in the OP,. you should take some of these other rules and add them so there's an easily definable set of rules. Don't make it too complicated though (IE over 10 words)

When is this on? I watched the VP debate on BBC news and it was hilarious - "joe biden loves israel! joe biden talk about himself in the 3rd person!" :laugh:

Someone should make up Buzzword Bingo cards for tonight's debate.

Ok, debate's about to start, get ready for some drinking.

 

[ultimatebob]

Oh yeah... it's time to get our drink on!

Remember... the words "bailout", "terrorist", or "bipartisan" can be said by EITHER candidate, the debate moderator, or even the people asking the questions!

Drinking with a bunch of guys over the internet? Is this a serious thread?
