So what words, phrases, etc. are we drinking to in the SOTU drinking game tonight?

[Catshrink]

bipartisanship?

let me be clear?

uh?

And more importantly, what are you drinking?

[graywarrior]

1. My DU advisors. . .

My DU experts. . .


DU is far more advanced in the knowledge of how to do my job.

I hereby announce that I am running all my decisions by Democratic Underground.

[Fire1]

2. Might as well. Fuck it! n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Indeed. The collective borg mind of DU

ought to be running the whole fucking universe.

[graywarrior]

4. The rest of us are not worthy

We have the "nerve" to come here and disagree.

[Lasher]

5. Here ya go:

I missed that thread -- and I did look before posting.

6. Maybe there should be a DU drinking game.

Based on every goofball Obama-hating bullshit that you see on DU.

For example: I would not be surprised if Obama mentions Yemen tonight.

Yemen is a failing state and is on the mind of anybody who pays any reasonable interest to foreign affairs. Thus, it's entirely reasonable for the President to mention it.

And if he does, DU is going to go absolute ape shit. All of the 9-11 twoofers, the sort of people who think that the underwear bomber was a CIA plant, are going to freak out and accuse Obama of making up Yemen. Because he wants us to be afraid. Nevermind the irony of paranoid people worrying about people being afraid.

So if Obama mentions Yemen, and DUers freak out, take a drink.

If Obama makes a valid comment on any security issue and DU freaks out, take a drink.

If DUers say he's just like Bush, take a drink.

If DUers complain that the Democrats are applauding, take a drink.

If DUers pull a Joe Wilson and accuse Obama of lying, take a drink.

If DUers make racist comments, take a drink.

If Obama calls for a repeal of DADT, and DUers complain about it, take a drink.

If Obama mentions the economy is turning around, and DUers claim otherwise, take a drink.

If Obama mentions job creation, and DUers complain about it, take a drink.


Btw, when I say "DUers" I'm using the very loose technical meaning of the word. I'm including trolls along with the real DUers.

9. +1

It is getting tiresome. If someone here does not want to watch the SOTU then stop complaining and just do it already. Watch American Idol or something.

[Catshrink]

11. Don't you remember

oh never mind.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. If we follow those rules we'll be wasted in no time.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. Agreed. Supplemental rules:

Only the first person to find and reply to such a comment gets the drink.

Respond with some comment such as "takin a drink." So we know who gets credit.

[Auggie]

8. "Jobs"

I'll be wasted after five minutes

Cheap wine, by the way.

[CBR]

10. I'm with you Auggie. Already hitting the cheap wine.

12. Historic

[Skink]

15. If he says Clenis down whatever you have.

[woo me with science]

16. "Some say...." (Technique for claiming the middle ground)

"Some say...(insert right wing theme),

while some others have argued (insert strawman parody of left wing theme),

...but we must (insert attempt at staying in the middle and pleasing everyone). "

[mscuedawg]

17. "Stop whining. Good night."

...hey, a girl can dream....
