Did someone say drinking game?

One GOP office is trying to keep “sane” this week by devising its own Continuing Resolution Drinking Game. Staffers, get ready to raid your boss’s liquor stash!

Here are the rules, as told to us:

Three drinks every time a congressman tells us how much the CR weighs.

One drink every time we hear how many pages long the bill is.

Two drinks every time Dave Obey says we could have printed it on two sides.

One drink every time we tell Dave Obey to f--- off. (We printed it as we received it.)

Two drinks every time someone says “drafted/crafted in the dead of night.”

One drink every time someone says “behind closed doors.”

One drink every time Jeff Flake does a half-laugh “heh” while talking about the earmarks that aren’t pertinent to the bill.

One shot every time Barney Frank readjusts his trousers.

Forty-eight shots if John Campbell goes down to the floor and baits John Murtha into an argument over defense earmarks.

One shot if the “Boy-Mayor of Cleveland,” Dennis Kucinich, advocates funding for a Department of Peace.

A whole bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue if any staffer finally loses it and walks down to the floor posing as a member and submits his personal statements to the clerk.

Two bottles if he “freestyles” into the microphone, ending with the phrase, “I yield back the balance of my time.”

I just had to share the laughter. How's bogarting the bottle anyway?

I think Barney Frank has already been playing this drinking game.

Ok.... when did he stop? He stopped?? Damn, I never knew that lol.

My Blood Alcohol Level has been like 1.2 pct for a week now.

With no decrease expected.

One shot every time “credit default swaps” is mentioned in committee.

Well , this is all fun and games until they start drinking everytime Captain Telepromter says ..”UH”..

” Ask not what your country can do for you.. Read what the telepromter tells me to say !” ...

2 drinks for every bank that fails.

2 drinks for every 2,000 businesses that fail.

2 drink for every 1,000 homes that foreclose.

2 drinks for every 50 union carpenters that have no jobs.

2 drinks for every auto dealership that fails.

2 drinks for every Home Depot, Lowes, and StarBucks that goes under.

We are screwed.

But at least we have each other at the FR.

I tried drinking to Obama’s “uh” I went through a bottle of wine in 10 minutes.

I got thoroughly trashed and ruined the next day.

I had yet another reason to hate this the angry stupid man.
