ravenTonight - well, today, but most of the other side of the pond are still stumbling into the bathroom looking for toothpaste - is Super-Duper Shrove Tuesday, and there will indeed be pancakes and politics all night. But ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jacinthsong notes that drinking games need to be invented, and she is, as always, right.
And so, dear friends, I ask you. So far, we have considered dividing into teams according to the frontrunners and drinking as they win states. But, as I objected, with only twenty-four states, we wouldn't be nearly drunk enough. So, we also came up with the following:
-Drink when anyone mentions "Iraq", "change", "America" or "God";
-Drink at any mention of Bill Clinton, his administration, or Hillary Clinton's "tears";
-Drink at any mention of voters "choosing between race and gender", oh noes;
-Finish your drink at any mention of 9/11 (asjacinthsong notes, thank god Giuliani's gone otherwise we'd all DIE);
-And if Huckabee wins a state, drink self into alcoholic stupor, natch.
Other suggestions, anyone? Also, question: is this the first time in recorded history that Super Tuesday and Shrove Tuesday have fallen on the same day? Because, you know, we should do it every year.
Right, now I go to do work before orgies of pancakes, politics and alcoholism. Hurrah.
