I have a million ideas on this one:

- a game of Risk.

- Russion Roulette, last one living rules. both die, fine we start over.

- a bake off. tasty as well. no chili cookoff as that's unfairly weighted in favor of GW.

- cut cards. High card for the president.

Okay, that's just a few, but you get the idea here.

It's time to have a little fun with this situation. 🙂
 
(my post in another thread...figured I'd bring it to a better topic)

how about combining everything. first, put all potentials on an island, wait 2 weeks, and see who is still alive. those contenders then move on to "who wants to be the president" (with regis). The two highest money earners on that show both get to keep their money (the others must give theirs to the chinese, who deserve a return other than nuclear secrets for all the cash they've given us), and they then get to slug it out in a Don King certified boxing match ($4995.00 pay-per-view). That winner then has a choice to make-he can choose to become president but have the house and congress against him or he can play for the bonus-full control of the house and senate. the bonus is won if the candidate can first survive 2 weeks driving on the LA freeway and then two more weeks living in florida. should the candidate fail, martin sheen will become president.

I believe this idea has merit, as it will repay the chinese, earn money to help pay off our debt, provide weeks of entertainment, and, finally, be finished before the end of calendar year 2000. besides, it doesnt require an electoral vote

 
Heh, I'm laughing at my own stuff now...okay revise the bake off idea to a show on TV like "The Iron Chef" Now that's entertainment!

You know what else? I think we should change the voting system so that if you don't vote there's a default candidate that your vote goes to. Like say Saddam Hussein. You don't want to vote. Fine...chalk one up for Saddam for President. 😛

That'll get the vote out!
 
I say we break out the shot glasses....
dammit! Bush has the edge in that.

Hmmmm...

I got it!

Powerball! You know, that game where you throw the ball up the ramp and try to land it in the various rings for points.


Or, have a map of of the US superimposed on a dartboard. Spin them around in circles, stop, and then have them toss the dart for Electoral votes. If you hit a state, you get that states electoral votes. If you hit a state that you've already hit, then you loose that states electoral votes. If a candidate hits a state that you've already one, then they loose their turn. First to get 270 electoral votes wins.

Yeh! I like that idea.
 
And, if we really wanted to make things interesting, we'd make Bush take a hit off the water bong every time he lost his turn, and we'd give Gore a shot of JD every time he lost his turn.

And, they're be a mandatory recount of electoral votes everytime you accidently hit the other candidate with a dart...as well as a mandatory shot/bong hit.
 
how about having them take a quiz on domestic affairs, foreign affairs and other important issues. the quiz could include:
-fill in the name of each state
-who is the current president of the united states
-name the deceased democratic candidate who won a senate seat in missouri
-essay: should marijuana be legalized? write an essay expressing your opinion. Extra Credit will be given for drawing on personal experience.
-essay: Define "fighting in a war".
-how many bottles of beer should the president drink before meeting with arafat and barak?

and so on...
 


<< if you don't vote there's a default candidate that your vote goes to. Like say Saddam Hussein. >>

GREAT IDEA! 🙂
 
Have you guys heard the old joke about the hunter who shoots a duck, but the duck lands on the farmer's property? The hunter wants the duck, but the farmer says it's his. Anyway, the farmer comes up with a &quot;solution&quot; that I think would be fun to watch in this case.
 
- 2 years each, whoever wins majority gets to pick whether he wants to go first or second

- since Florida decides the race, take them to Bushgarden, put them on a roller coaster on full speed: whoever throws up first loses

- drink-off: again, whoever throws up or passes out first loses

I also like the Russian Roulette and Rock/Paper/Scissors ideas 😉
 
The dart idea has real possibilities. I think instead of representing the states by geographic size, that you size them inversely by electoral vote count.
 
Let's make this fair now people.

Since they both come from political dynasties. Let them duke it out on Family Feud. Oh wait, that gives Bush the advantage since Al has no living members of his family dynasty and all he really has is Tipper. I suppose we could get Ted Kennedy to join Al's team. In case of a tie a drinking contest between Ted and George W.

First question:

&quot;Name the various things Al Gore 'invented'&quot;

 
anyone chinese here? have all the major candidates, Bush, Gore, Nader, Buchanon play OHHHHHHHHH MA! until one of them is singled out. then that person gets to be it. if not then i say just have them fight it out in a cage match till there is only one standing!
 


<< the farmer comes up with a &quot;solution&quot; that I think would be fun to watch in this case. >>

I've heard this PG, but forgot the 'solution'. Can someone give me a tip (without upsetting the mods).
 
The farmer says, &quot;OK, I've got a solution. I'll kick you in the nuts and then you kick me in the nuts, and we go back and forth until one of us decides to quit.&quot;
The poor hunter has been out hunting all weekend and this was the only duck he even had a chance to shoot, so he agrees.
The farmer then says, &quot;OK, I'll go first.&quot;
So he hauls off and kicks the hunter so hard that he lifts him off the ground. The poor hunter falls to the ground in more pain than he has ever felf in his life. He rolled on the ground moaning, groaning, and crying for about half an hour. Finally, he got up and said, &quot;OK, that hurt like h@ll, but it's my turn now.&quot;










The farmer just shrugged his shoulders and said, &quot;Ahh, you can have the duck.&quot; 😉

Hmmmm....[A-Team Hanibal voice]I love it when a plan comes together![/A-Team Hanibal voice] 😛
