Back in the day, I'd hold "Debate Parties" on Debate nights (in 1984, 1988 and 1992). I'd get all of my friends over to my house, hand out rubber-suction-tipped dart pistols, and we would wait for the Repig candidate to show up on the screen. When they did... a barrage of spit-addled darts would fly towards the ol' CRT, covering the candidate (and my poor Zenith Console TV) with darts and spittle (yeah, it was a PIA to clean afterwards). More spittle was thrown at the screen during this debate, to the point that I had to break out the pan scraper to clean the screen. True story!
