  • I missed that part

    Had a meeting that ran so late, I missed the debate. Really wanted to see live, when the lasers spewed forth from McCain’s eyes as he showed America who’s boss around here.

    Frickin' lasers!
    Frickin’ lasers!

  • I have not forgotten you

    Just unbelievably busy with work these past two weeks and transitioning files to a new laptop. Should be back to normal posting tonight as I have been collecting images and thoughts for posts.

    Try not to break anything in the meantime. 👿

  • One President to Rule them All

    Wow, I should have posted more drinking rules for last night’s Presidential debate. We could have been hammered from the following observations:

    1. One beer every time McCain said “My preciousssssss, I mean, my friennnnds.”
    2. One beer every time Obama ran over the one minute speaking limit
    3. One beer every time McCain hunched over and slunk around in the dark using his nocturnal vision to find blind cave fish.
    4. One beer every time Obama said “I have to correct the Senator”
    5. One beer every time McCain tried to steal the One Ring of Power back from his Master
    6. One beer every time Obama said “Tom, let me respond to that. I know, but let me respond.”
    7. One beer every time McCain led Obama to Shelob’s Palin’s lair
    8. One beer every time Obama said “Afghanistan, not Iraq”
    9. One beer every time McCain bit off one of Obama’s fingers
    10. What rules would you have added?

    Today’s post dedicated to Lizz. 😛

  • VP Debate Drinking Rules

    Tonight is the debate between Vice Presidential nominees, Sarah Palin (R) and Joe Biden (D). It promises to be a bloodbath. Let’s all establish some drinking rules. Please add any I’ve missed:

    1. Debate Drinking Rule #1: 1 beer every time they interrupt each other.
    2. Debate Drinking Rule #2: 1 beer every time she mentions hockey, lipstick or pitbulls
    3. Debate Drinking Rule #3: 1 beer every time Biden’s eyebrows grow exponentially wider
    4. Debate Drinking Rule #4: 1 beer every time Biden accuses Palin of smoking crack
    5. Debate Drinking Rule #5: 3 beers every time McCain butts in and answers for Palin
    6. Debate Drinking Rule #6: 1 beer every time Palin highsticks Biden
    7. Debate Drinking Rule #7: 1 beer every time Palin screws up geography
    8. Debate Drinking Rule #8: 1 beer every time Biden mentions dangerous foreign nations he’s barely been to
    9. Debate Drinking Rule #9: 1 beer every time Palin says, “Ya know,” (via Vanderwal)
    10. What drinking rules would you add?

    Update: I am thankful I did not make rules for “Energy-producing state” or “Gee” or I would be dead from alcohol poisoning.

  • Horseshit?

    Some influential bloggers have been wafting back and forth as to whether or not McCain said “horseshit” live during the debates. I am offering up some possibilities. Listen to the audio yourself and decide then leave your translation in the comments, puh-leeeze.

    1. Horschack
    2. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
    3. Horse Radish
    4. Whore’s tit
    5. Hoary Marmot
    6. Attention Whore
    7. Morse Code
    8. A horse is a horse, of course, of course
    9. Palin’s Lipstick
    10. What do you think McCain is actually saying?
