I love presidential elections and typically stay up so late I worry about making it to work the next day but I just can't help myself.
However, this year, now that Fox News has officially registered in the "D" column, I might spare myself the frustration of listening to how "Hillary is Crushing" it in the exit polls and that it's all over (even though I know they'll be lying). I think I might just watch a movie. I've never done that before, but I don't think I can watch the disinformation stream flow all night. If Hannity has a coverage program I will watch that, otherwise, I'm voting and waiting till morning before I peak out and see where we stand.
What about you?
I’m an Elections Inspector. There are several things that need to be done after the polls close, and those chores take longer when it’s a contentious election, AND when there’s no real love for either candidate.
I’m expecting to be there past midnight. I’ve already requested that Wednesday off to recover.
Right here on FR!
My sobriety and my serenity are more important than stressing out over election night results.
I have already gone thru November 1994, to present, without drinking.
I did that in large measure, by staying close to AA. It is not a crutch (as some detractors say) but rather an effective tool.
The rewards are immense. The country may have a hangover Wednesday morning, but I won’t.
I married a Filipina ... I have an IN with a Tropical Paradise.
I plan to play a drinking game where I take a drink every time a MSM idiot cries. I fully expect to be admitted to the emergncy room for alcohol poisoning at some point during the night.
Congratulations! That’s a huge accomplishment!
OK. How about something inspirational, uplifting and motivational. Animal House, Blues Brothers, Let's Go to Prison, Office Space, Zulu, etc. Or shows more appropriate to the political spirit and shortened attention span like Roller Derby, professional wrestling or hockey. "Jackass " movies are just fine.
If I can't sleep, I'm going to sort and count my ammunition. Even if I can't sleep all night, it should keep me entertained (3,001, 3,002, 3,003...). Maybe I'll paint some "nose art" on a few of them. Maybe microstamp a few ("to whom it may concern", "this one's for you", "have a nice dirt nap" or whatever).
Or maybe I'll just do a few things I've been meaning to do for a long time, like cancel FIOS TV, apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and clean the cat litter box.
I think I’m going to have to go to AA or something similar to break my addiction to FR once all of this is over! :-D
Trump wins....pour me a fine bourbon over ice and celebrate.
Hillary wins....won't see much else till noon the next day.
lol
I’d swap in some Night Train instead of the MD but sounds like a plan ...
AND NOT ONLY THAT. I'LL DOUBLE THAT OFFER! I'LL INCLUDE SOME SNYDER'S OF HANOVER (PA) PRETZEL NUGGETS, ABSOLUTELY FREE.
Just PM me. No shit.
Drinking some scotch and smoking a fine cigar, no news... the morrow will bring enough dread.
And when she loses, what a waste of $$$$$.
I will be working Get-out-the-Vote in PA until the polls close. I’m not a PA resident, but it’s the closest key state in the election to where I live. I’ll be working the whole time (note: I may get deployed in response to Black Panther style voter suppression instead; that has happened in the past).
Probably a Pizza and a nice big bottle of Vodka. Maybe Chicken Wings and beer. I’ve not decided yet.
First thing I am going to do is offer some prayers of thanksgiving. I have been praying for years to delivered from this pestilence, and often in my life when I am blessed with an outcome I have been praying for, I forget to give thanks. So I will be sure to do that first and then let the party begin! I will have to be sure to get a nap in the afternoon.
I married a Thai woman. At least she was 38 years ago, :). We have interest in several properties and houses, and one that was built just recently just for her (and me, I hope). We have chickens, but I don't count mine until they hatch. https://www.facebook.com/suwath.pimsuwan/videos/633068823527398/
I want to have snacks every hour beginning at 7 Eastern until I fall sound asleep after Trump is declared the winner. Any suggestions?
Tuesday is our regular Irish Session at the local pub. I’m working the polls and we’re usually done by 8:30-8:45. Other Tuesdays I play rec basketball, dry off and hit the pub in my sweats; next week I’ll be in my workin’ the election finery for a change.
I’m going to try not to focus on the TVs over the bar and enjoy the music. If they call me up to sing (as they sometimes do) I’ll be doing “The Winds Are Singing Freedom”.
I guess wieners (pigs in blanket) would be appropriate. Maybe humas (a/k/a humus)
