cheers!
On Monday I came across this State of the Union drinking game, which was obviously satirical, and quite complicated. But it inspired me to actually play a drinking game during the address. So, we cracked open a bottle of wine, grabbed two shot glasses (they were actually saki glasses), and we took a drink for each of these pre-determined phrases:
- "economic stimulus package"
- "9/11"
- "War on terror"
- "Make tax cuts permanent"
- "Culture of life"
- "Osama bin Ladin"
- "Housing market"
- "Border security" (or “secure our borders”)
The only phrase that didn’t explicitly come up was “culture of life” although he alluded to it. He didn’t actually say it, of course, because he is not campaigning for re-election.
Needless to say, we were pretty tipsy by the end of the speech. I think we’ll do this every year.
This is a great idea. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I thought of you when I posted my most recent post. Check it out! I’m still on the fence re: HRC and BHO

I read your “about me”. And now I feel like we’re kindred spirits. Also, I noticed you have the EXACT same astrological signs as MB’s new baby, Zadie Dove! How funny.
