The Veep Debate

Have at it, in a mature manner, of course.

Twenty minutes! Good thing you posted this, otherwise I might've forgotten to switch channels.

Working at my sad part time job. I have internet access, but no sound.

I hope it is interesting and informative rather than reiterative and inane.

I expect there to be many face-in-palm moments from both candidates. I hope that Biden goes after Palin's assertion that living so close to Russia is considered 'foreign policy experience'.

Heh, now all I want to do is watch the SNL sketch where Tina Fey says she can see Russia from her house.

Haha, that could be really awkward. It would have to be much more conversation-oriented than the recent Presidential debate for this to happen though, or she could just ignore it and blather about whatever.

She is not very good at that either.

I wonder if this will be a thing where Palin is too embarrasing to watch.

Also, the Cubs game starts at 8:30 so I probably won't watch the whole thing.

rinichanraar · 10-02-2008, 06:49 PM

My friend and I were saying it'd be crazy to do a debate drinking game: Anytime Biden says "literally" or Palin says "ya' know." But then we realized it'd probably end in alcohol poisoning.

Yeah, my roommates and I were discussing this... they just brought home a huge box of alcohols.

I tried doing that with the McCain/Obama, it got too easy after a while. Someone had suggested putting obscure (but would probably be used) words in a hat and each person gets their own.

And coincidentally, I did that for the first debate. But, as I said, it wasn't as fun when you pick words you know they are gonna say. As football boots said, you gotta get creative with the words.
What kind of alcohols did they bring? And will you be making a visit to this thread later on perhaps?

Man, now that I think about it, this could have made TF2 tonight more fun. And I was in BevMo today looking for Blue Nehi for bone. So much good stuff there. le sigh

Make the words less obvious... Sheesh, do I have to teach you kids everything?

"Alcohols." Hahaha, awesome.

Okay, gramps, what do you suggest?

I think a good one for last time would have been any time McCain said, "I don't think Senator Obama understands [insert something McCain things Obama doesn't understand]." But it's too late. Maybe next time.

Biden - Main Street

Palin - As mayor, then governor, of Alaska

Told my roommates, they are actually doing this. Aha! Already a "Main Street!"

Maybe we should change Palin's to "barometer."

HAHA! she's a few minutes in and already got it in once minus the of Alaska. Someone else will have to keep score. I can't make myself care enough about either of them to watch. Odds are, whichever one gets in, we will not hear much from them unless they shoot a hunting partner in the face or try to correct a grade-schoolers spelling of the word potato.

jeffbax · 10-02-2008, 06:50 PM

All I want is for the UT announcer to be the moderator. That would make it so much more entertaining than Palin's verbal diarrhea alone
