Time for a little fun on the lighter side of politics.

Need ideas for a drinking game during the VP debate tomorrow night.

Preferrably based on a "Bidenism"

Let'er rip....

[nevergore]

Go easy, I would like to be awake till the end of the debate....

[TomServo]

Everytime oBammy says, “uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

We’ll all be hammered by the end of his first response.

[nevergore]

Laz,

You’re pretty creative on these things, whatcha’ think?

NeverGore

[cripplecreek]

Don’t underestimate Biden. He’s survived 40 years in politics gaffing all the way.

[DownInFlames]

One-eyed Jack. One shot of Jack Daniels for each gaffe.

[nevergore]

I tried that on the Presidential debate....I passed out in the first 10 minutes.....

It was tough pouring the shot glasses that quick...

:^)

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Drink every time Biden says something intelligent. (I’m in the 12-step program.)

[Doogle]

a sip when biden lies....a chug when Ryan mentions a number

[nevergore]

I don’t think he will gaffe, too much is on the line and although he’s stupid, he’s crafty....

[nevergore]

Geez, I said I wanted to watch the entire debate, no be sober....
:^)

[nevergore]

I actually know Biden, sat down with him one-on-one several times years ago....Trust me, he is an idiot but very crafty and a survivor....

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Take a shot every time Biden mentions “millionaires and billionaires.”

[JimmyMc]

How about “the fact is.”
What is the over/under?

[MissesBush]

A drink everytime Biden makes a gaffe? We’d all end up with scerosis of the liver by the end of the debate!

[nevergore]

I think you are on to something, how about evertime he mentions “fair share”?

[G Larry]

Every time Biden says “folks”.....

Passed out in 15 minutes!

[MomwithHope]

possible triggers from old Joe -

failed policies of the past
middle class
women's health
pay their fair share
my mother always said "Joey.....

[nevergore]

There is no over....until I pass out....

I'll update the VP debate thread tomorrow night as to my alcohol consumption.....

[verum ago]

Everytime oBammy says, “uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” We’ll all be hammered by the end of his first response.

VP debate, FRiend.

Just a word of caution to all my fellow FReepers: let's try to keep the drinking game tame enough that you're conscious 'til the end.

• I'm thinking shot o' truth:
a full shot for every time Biden tells no truth
half a shot for every time he tells a half truth
No shot for when he tells absolute truth

Then again, I'm not sure that scheme will keep the BAC at sublethal levels.

• a shot every time he raises his voice and looks at the audience with wild eyes.

• a shot every time the camera closeup on Biden has high enough magnification to spot his hair plugs.

• A shot every time Biden grins stupidly

My personal favorite would be:
• A shot every time the moderator bails Biden out

[drewh]

No way THIS guy would ever say anything off target...

[My hearts in London - Everett]

Would someone post a YouTube link if one is available, please?

[nevergore]

What!?

No “Stand up Chuck”?

[SgtBob]

“Let me be perfectly clear...”

[TomServo]

Thanks - missed the V portion.

[MomwithHope]

sorry, I’m tired

[submarinerswife]

“Where I come from......” or “.....in Scranton where I grew up...”

“My Dad (or Mom) said to me......”

” ......, Man”

“Working families”

________________________________

You all should be drunk in the first 5 minutes

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Oh jeez. I haven’t sobered up from the last one when I took a shot for every “uh” muttered..

[Hardraade]

What does Biden drink?

Anything, as long as it’s wet?

[nevergore]

I’m DVR’ing the debate just in case I pass out.....

A full shot when Biden tells the truth....you’re killig me here....

[Libloather]

OK FReepers, need a drinking game for the VP debate!

Literally!

The vice presidential debate drinking game

[supremedoctrine]

Here’s an idea: start drinking as soon as Biden comes onstage. You think he’s funny sober???Wait till you see
him when you’ve had a few. Even if you start when you see Biden, Biden will already be 3 or 4 ahead of you, trying to call up the ghost of Ted Kennedy, for whom Biden serves as a kind of better-modulated stand-in.
There is no way Biden could come close to besting Ryan in a debate, and I stated days ago that the debate with Ryan will be a one-two punch that will REALLY send the MSM reeling.
The LAST thing they want to see is two total debating failures in a row, setting up Romney for a THIRD win/
The fact-checkers will be out in droves, trying to pick holes in every statistic Ryan mentions: fact-checking is the last, yet newest tool in their toolbox,( and this tool will act as the proverbial “monkey-wrench in the works”) and a great deal is riding on it for them; they need to provide their surrogates/supporters more talking points over the next 27 days.Suddenly they want to promulgate the idea that facts not only matter, but are crucial-—this from people who never paid attention to them, instead running on the stale fumes of hope and change, AKA “fatuous wishes that will SOMEDAY become facts”.

[afraidfortherepublic]

How about every time he ays, “Stand up, Chuck!”

[redshawk]

How about....”...but, but, but we inherited the worst (fill in the blank) since the GREAT! Depression....”

Or, how about....”It's Bush's Fault...”

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Two hits on the bong pipe every time Joe Biden says “literally” when he means “actually not at all”.

[RobertClark]

We played bull$hi7 bingo last week for the Presidential debate - we pondered a drinking game for this week’s VP debate but decided against it. We don’t need anyone to die of alcohol poisoning at the mercy of BiteMe’s gaffes.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

You are right on target!

There is a certain “quaintness” that people attribute to his “gaffes” and he will use this. But he is one SOB and that can be lethal.He will try to lie and rope-a-dope Ryan.

[cripplecreek]

Fortunately Paul Ryan is fully aware that Biden is a pro.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

And don’t forget “my grandmother....”

also “heart” and “bless you...”

[nevergore]

That’s an Obama euphamisim....

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

and Ryan has come up against the worst and fought his battles on the hill...Let’s hope his smile and “sweetness” comes out strong against Curmudgeon.

[nevergore]

Heck....Biden’s funny sober or drunk.....

[richardtavor]

He also is from Delaware....Where his chances statewide are the same as Teddy Kennedy’s in Mass...I disrespect this guy more than 90% of my fellow countrymen. I think and pray that Ryan wipes the floor with this embecile.

[nevergore]

Dude...you misspelled imbecile....you started the game too early...put down the shot glass :^)

[katykelly]

“Folks” and “man” .

[RobertClark]

But don't let your empathy for the candidates lead you to drink yourself into a stupor. Instead, follow along with the debate responsibly with National Journal's official, comprehensive drinking game.
