[Tigen]

Fight = 1
Those people = 1

[Cheap_Hessian]

Here are some more...

“excessive risk taking”
“speculators”
“we want our money back”
“transparency”
“faith in government”

[cork]

“What’s the word?”
“Thunderbird!”
“What’s the price?”
“Fiddy, twice!”

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Let the drinking game include half-shots every time he says “I”! One will be snockered in the first 5 minutes.

[dnandell]

“inherited from the previous administration”

[catnipman]

Here's a State of the Union drinking game I proposed in a post on FR Monday evening:

I’ve been thinking a new college drinking game would be appropriate. Everyone has to take a drink whenever 0Bama says “I”, “me”, or “my”. Last person not passed out wins. Plus, think it about a second, as the meaningless speech drones on and on, all the drinking makes it less and less painful to listen to.

A variation would be for someone to shout out “You Lie!” whenever an untruth was suspected, thus requiring a drink to be taken.

The advanced version of the game would include both criterion.

[The Antiyuppie]

You people are all aware that you can DIE from alcohol intoxication, right?

[rmlew]

Add any blame of current difficulties on Bush, and my liver already hurts.

[BigDaddyTX]

“You people are all aware that you can DIE from alcohol intoxication, right?”

That’s why I have a girlfriend named Mary.........Mary Jane.

[joelt]

If he says tea party; pauses; then scratches his eyebrow with his middle finger;;; 2 flaming shots of Everclear.,

[Chickensoup]

How about take a shot every time he says “I”. You wouldn’t last 5 minutes!

You would be hammered if you took one very small sip everytime that clown said “I.”

[Redcitizen]

You’re missing a thrown shoe rule in that game.

[Mercat]

Also, maybe a drink everytime he blames the previous administration.

[Redcitizen]

Now, every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea
Just me and my good Buddy Wiser
That’s all I ever need

‘Cause I drink alone, yeah with nobody else...

Yeah, the other night I lay sleepin’
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels
And his partner Jimmy Beam

And we drank alone, yeah with nobody else

Yeah, the other day I got invited to a party
But I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker
And his brothers, Black and Red

And we drank alone, yeah...

Yeah, my whole family done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who’ll hang out with me
Is my dear Old Granddad

And we drink alone, yeah...

[Redcitizen]

With the state of the Union the way it is; this is the official zombie thread. Especially if everyone gets plastered 5 minutes into the speech.

[Deetes]

Drinking beer I hope , Rum , or Gin would send me to the hospitable ;-))) Sticking to the rules anyway .
