Debate the VP DEBATE!!!

[Irishgrrrl]

OK, y''all . . . we had SOOOOO much fun with last Friday''s debate thread, that it got HUGE really fast! Don''t get me wrong, that''s a good thing! But I figured we''d better start a new one for the VP debate.

So, same rules as last Friday night:

1. Everybody play nice, or TGal WILL come and hunt you down!!!

2. Everyone must state their beverage and snack of choice prior to the start of the debate.

3. Everyone needs to drink whenever one of the key words is said by either VP candidate . . . and please feel free to start listing the relevant words!

Looking forward to this! Last Friday night was a BLAST!!!

Should be a fun time.

I do hope that this thread will be as snark-free as the last. I know Palin is a hot topic, as is Biden''s gaffes.

Here are my Palin words from Elledizzy''s thread:

Cronyism
Ruffling feathers
Maverick
Good ol'' boys
reform
blink

Anyone have any for Biden?

 

[Lauren8211]

Ha! And so it begins!

You must drink Lipstick Cocktails or White Russians!

And pigs in a blanket are the only appropriate food choice!

 

[Krissie]

Hi sugars!

I so hope that I will be able to get away from work. Even evil hedge fund lawyers have to take time away from finding ways to tank the economy!

I''m so tired, and overwhelmed, with work and wedding planning. And I have to say that I''m not sure Thursday night will be as entertaining as last Friday was -- I think the potential for frustration is about 100% more likely!

But I''m willing to give it a go. If I''m able to check in, I will be ordering a 12" veggie sub, and warshing it down with some good ol'' Bud Light!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

I think I am going to need a drink during this one.

Let''s post some recipes!

 

[Irishgrrrl]

OK, full disclosure: I am toooooo laaaaaazy to make an actual mixed drink, and it''s too hard to eat and type at the same time, so I''ll be drinking Raspberry Smirnoff Ice and that''s all!

LOL! Good call, Krissie! I wonder if Sarah Palin can see the Smirnoff factory from her house? Maybe she even watched them make it!!!

Great list, Lucky!

I have a few to add:

Putin
head-rearing
bridge

And so help me God, if she starts doing the little "finger quotes" I''m turning the TV off!!!

I''ll join you..closest thing we do is we make daiquiris. But FI does the work..I just watch....and add more rum.

 

[luckystar112]

Anyone up for some BINGO?!

I''ll TOTALLY play!

Seriously, there is a button to rearrange the words so everyone can have their own card!

Whoo hoo!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

I'm game!!!

ETA: But I don't think a lot of the words are actually going to come up..

One of Biden''s words was "malarkey"!!! Now that''s just funny. I soooo hope that one comes up! LOL!

Every time Biden chuckles condescendingly at Sarah Palin, take 1 drink. Every time Biden chuckles condescendingly at moderator Gwen Ifill, take 2 drinks.
Every time Biden refers to himself in the third person, take 1 drink. If he uses his full name (e.g. “When people ask me, ‘Joe Biden, how did you become so good looking?’”), take 2 drinks.
If Biden compliments the looks of Governor Palin, his wife, Obama''s wife, or any woman during the debate - take a drink.

Blue Team Rules
¶ For every mention of Scranton, Pennsylvania: Take a sip.
¶ When Biden begins the “I take the train home everyday story” being drinking. Don’t stop ’till he finishes.
¶ When Biden questions Palin’s inexperience: Drink something you’ve never had before
¶ When Biden makes an obvious gaffe: Spill your neighbor’s drink
¶ When Biden uses X words when Y will do: Drink X-Y seconds
¶ When Biden patronizes or self identifies with the working class: Down some brew (Bonus points if you use Miller Highlife)
¶ When Biden lambastes Washington Insiders: Make a toast to his 35 years of experience in the United States Senate
The Joe Biden checklist. If he mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Blue Collar, Golden Parachute, Little Guy, Washington Insider, Working Class, Clean

Red Team Rules
¶ Every time Palin cites Alaska’s proximity to Russia as “foreign policy experience”: Take a shot of vodka
¶ When Palin claims she said “Thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere: Demand a new drink from your hosts, say “thanks but no thanks,” and then when no one’s looking, take it anyway, then claim you never wanted it.
¶ When Palin recounts putting the governor’s jet on eBay: Auction off a beer to your friends
¶ When Palin insists that governing a small town in Alaska is in fact experience: Give your friend a shot glass of beer when he/she asks for a pint and insist it’s the same thing.
¶ When Palin points out that Biden thought Obama was too inexperienced for the job: Finish your drink and say, “Oh Snap!” If you’re a democrat, follow this by crying.
¶ When Palin claims that Washington’s problems can be solved by small town know how and common sense: Drink a Labatt Blue as you read up on how to become a Canadian citizen.
¶ When Palin talks about being the most popular governor in the country: Go to a room by yourself, realize you’re the most popular person in the room, then finish your drink.
The Sarah Palin checklist. If she mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Bush Doctrine, Snow Machine, Moose, Lipstick, Hockey Mom, Family Values

[FrekeChild]

I''m going to go make rum cake in preparation for the debate tomorrow. However, I will not be taking a slice of cake to replace a shot.

Now I need to figure out which kind of rum to use....

Hahaha...

I would like to propose a slight change from the presidential debate. In that debate, I proposed you could call the candidates stupid, but not each other. In this one, because I believe the words that "stupid", "dumb" and "idiot" will way too easy to throw around, so I say you have to take a shot each time you call a candidate on of those words. (i.e., be creative if when you call Sarah Palin a moron.

)

See you gals later tonight!

LOL! Sounds good, TGal! So "idiot," "dumb" and "stupid" are out . . . I''m going to have to work on my vocabulary of derogatory words before tonight!

 

[purrfectpear]

My mom called me after she heard McCain list Palin''s qualifications that included PTA member.

Now mom is convinced that SHE should be running for VP

I agree with you gals. "idiot" "dumb" and "stupid" are words that can be taken offensively, but words and phrases like "inexperienced" "uneducated" "doesn''t have a clue" "not the brightest crayon" should be considered okay.

Now on to words describing Biden that may be considered offensive.....



ba dum dum

Seriously though. If the pregnant ps''ers didn''t already claim the term "sh!t show", it''s exactly how I''d describe tonight''s debate. I''m afraid for both sides (a tad more for mine).

I will if it turns out ok. I wasn''t able to find exactly what the recipe called for (it''s probably from the ''60s) so I kind of had to make it up as I went. (It''s made with cake mix! I''m so cheating!)
