I'm sorry, debate drinking games are the immature side of DU

[ashling]

why not donate $1 or $5 to Obama or other Democrats instead of doing shots?

If you want to get plastered, go for it, but put your money where your shot glass goes.

[BarenakedLady]

1. It's the only way I can watch.

:shrug:

[cwydro]

13. Yeah, I couldn't drink during the VP debate

because of work. And as a result I could NOT watch it.

So please let me know what the game words will be!

Whattaya think? Hanoi? POW?

[fishwax]

2. it's not an either/or

folks can do both :)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. My friends, debate drinking games are an American privilege.

I myself realized this when I was imprisoned in a North Vietnamese POW camp.

[DS1]

4. Oh yeah

Well I think that threads starting with "I'm sorry," suck

[JVS]

35. Threads that start with "I'm sorry" are at least accurate in their perception of a need to apologize

[madinmaryland]

5. Do both!! MULTITASK!!1!! Donate and Drink!!1!!

:rofl:

[Deep13]

6. I still have a hang over from the VP debate.

I took a shot of Scotch everytime she said "maverick."

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. I survived the VP debate

I only took a shot every time she winked

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

:party:

:rofl:

:hi:

[dawgmom]

7. I don't think you're sorry. Really, I don't. n/t

[evlbstrd]

8. You're not the boss of me!

Where'd I put my beer?

[Shiver]

9. Because I can't afford to donate that much money

I do, however, have a lot of alcohol that needs drinking. And I would feel weird sending in filled shot glasses to Senator Obama.

[Inchworm]

10. I'm taking a wagon stop for the debate

So long as I don't lose anything tonight I'll be happy.

I'm debating on which word or action to use.

- "friends"

- "maverick"

- "eye contact"

Possibly all three.

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

11. "In what respect, Charlie?"

:rofl: :hi:

[Shakespeare]

12. Mmm-hmm. Because lecturing folks in the lounge always goes over SO well.

:eyes:

But good luck with that!

[Skittles]

16. LOL

yes INDEED :hi:

[madinmaryland]

22. Kick some ass, Skittles!!1!!

:woohoo:

[jobycom]

14. How about, instead of shots, we CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

:shrug:

Anyway, there are limits on campaign contributions, but not on Tequila!

[Haole Girl]

15. THAT is immature?

I guess the copy cat threads, inside jokes, and popularity contests are the mature side. :crazy:

[kwassa]

17. What other side of DU is there?

Maturity? What does that have to do with DU? Ever?

In the so-called sober threads?

Drinking does not prevent donating. There is no cause-and-effect. There is no relationship of one to the other.

[Arugula Latte]

25. "Aaah, shhure, I kin shend my rent monees in tah Obama. *hic*

:beer:

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Hey we can't do both? for record, I don't watch the debates. And the last time I donated it was to

the Edwards campaign, the only dem candidate I thought worthy of donating too.

[leeroysphitz]

19. Christ, that could get EXPENSIVE. I drink the CHEAP stuff...

[struggle4progress]

20. You made me spill my beer! Or more precisely, you would have made me spill it

if I could find it. Because, actually, you have made me misplace my beer. That is, I think you made me misplace my beer -- any way, I can't find it, so if I actually opened another one and misplaced it, then it's your fault. And if I didn't open another one, so I'm just looking everywhere for a beer I already drank, then that's certainly your fault, because if I hadn't been distracted by your post, I would already have gotten another beer and wouldn't be looking for the one I lost, which I'll probably find tomorrow by accidentally knocking it over

My conclusion? You're just a trouble-maker

[jobycom]

34. I think you should sue.

:rofl:

[struggle4progress]

37. I will! I will! But first I need to find my beer

[yellowcanine]

21. What is the mature side? If we have to be mature what good is it?

[Godhumor]

23. There's always space for levity, so please save the lectures

Many here have given money, time and effort to the campaign and continue to do so. Trying to tell people how they're supposed to watch the debate, how they're supposed to act, and what they should do instead serves no purpose other than to try to make people feel guilty for something they should not feel guilty about.

[LeftyMom]

24. It's the lounge. We'd get plastered anyway.

Do you want us to give up bad puns too? Sex threads? Is nothing fucking sacred anymore?

[Lucian]

26. Don't do it if you don't want to do it.

Don't lecture the rest of us if you think it's immature.

I really couldn't care less if you think it is immature.

[pokerfan]

27. For me, it's just a joke form

I don't advocate drinking games. It's just a way to mock McCain's speech patterns.

Besides, if I was downing a shot for every time he said "my friends," I would have been passed out at twenty minutes and in serious danger of alcohol poisoning.

[McPainsBrain]

28. You're a big hypocrite large, unless

you donate all your disposable income not spent on necessities to charity. Charity is where spare money should go before a political campaign. But yeah, you're a hypocrite.

[Inchworm]

29. Missed the Boat

;)

[coyotespaw]

30. It's easier to talk people into buying shots

than it is to talk them into donating to Obama in my name.

:party:

[Lil Missy]

31. What do you consider the "mature" side of DU?

And BTW, not everyone that post in the Lounge or watches the debates are drinking.

[dropkickpa]

33. Because I won't donate my hard earned money

to people that don't support equal rights for all, plain and simple.

[guitar man]

36. because, when I'm drunk

I'm more likely to donate $25-30 than I am 1$-5. Drinking loosens my wallet, so Barack's campaign benefits even more from my debate drinking.

Now go away, you bother me! :D

[Fleshdancer]

38. It's not just a DU thing

liberal blogs will put up the drinking word before the debate too. There's no reason to be serious and mature ALL the time, is there?

[Chovexani]

39. Complaining about immaturity...to the lounge.

Good luck with that.

[Bake]

40. Yes! They're awful! I'm never doing one again!!

Gawd I had the worst hangover this morning ...

:rofl:

Bake

[Shakespeare]

41. The OP apparently put his own thread on ignore.

:rofl:

[lost-in-nj]

47. I was going to ask where the OP was.....

rebel rouser that they are
I think they picked the wrong word to drink to... and didn't get drunk...

something like

HONESTY!!!!

:rofl:


why bother

THIS THREAD IS IMMATURE


yeah thats it


:hi:

lost

[Critters2]

42. Thanks, Buzz Killington! nt

[Forkboy]

43. ....

:spray:

[skygazer]

44. Because of course people who do shots don't donate to political campaigns

Interesting logic. :wtf:

[UTUSN]

45. Who knew that an internet discussion board was the definition of "mature"?!1 n/t

[Ikonoklast]

46. Ohhh, man. Wow. hey, what's happening?

Sorry. Just sobered up from last night. Anything going on?
