Cheers to the State of the Union
I’ll be watching President Bush’s State of the Union address tonight like a good little American. For the past four years, I’ve found a way to make sitting through the speech a lot more fun. It’s called “The State of the Union Address Drinking Game.”
Basically, you take a drink every time something somewhat predictable happens such as the use of the word “freedom” or anytime the camera shows a special guest introduced by the president, Ted Kennedy or some other political character.
If you’re just playing with a few people, you can just print out the list of drinking rules from http://www.drinkinggame.us/ and keep it handy. Or, if you turn it into a party like my friends and I have, you can write the rules on some poster board so everyone can keep an eye on them.
Do you plan to watch the speech? Do you have any of your own State of the Union rituals?

I’m going to the gym tonight. Listening to Bush speak is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard for me … thank god this will be his last State of the Union.

It might be better if we could get Bush to drink before his State of the Union . . . nah, he’d get carried away and declare war on Canada or Mississippi. . . .

Ah, the good old days … Don’t forget — finish your beer if he says “animal-human hybrid.”

I was expecting a boring article when I read the headline and first sentence. Thanks for a refreshing breath of fresh air. I can’t say I’ll be watching it. Maybe I’ll watch a few clips of the more interesting moments. Your idea has me intrigued though.

Who’s that really attractive guy in the photo? He needs to be surrounded by pretty girls, preferably literary brunettes, if you ask me.
