I personally think “taking a break from blogging” is code for “I’ve got a shitload of Shakespeare to read this week”. However, I relish the opportunity to share my wit and wisdom as a guest-blogger here at Feministe while my favorite metriculant bones-up on the Bard.
I’m sure others in the blogosphere (hate that word, too) have come up with their own drinking criteria for tonight’s festivities. Here are mine:
- ownership society – one shot of Thunderbird
- personal accounts – one Side Car, all the way down in one big gulp
- freedom – White Russian
- liberty – half a glass of Soju, with a hot green tea chaser
- immigration reform – two Leg Spreaders
- Iraq, Iran, or North Korea – three Fuzzy Navels
If there are other libations I should consider consuming during tonight’s State of the Union address, please leave your suggestions in comments below.
the bullshit address
lauren at feministe has taken a vacation –if you can call delving deep in shakespeare for a 7 am class — and her guest bloggers have taken the reins.
the point of this observation? well, i had almost forgotten about tonite’s bullshit address, as …
Boy, this is going to be like Jonestown, but with alcohol poisoning.
How can you have a drinking game without absinthe? Every time Bush says “privatization,” take a gulp of absinthe.
Make sure you do it right. Fill about half a glass with cold water. Put the absinthe spoon over the glass, and put a sugar cube on it. Pour a shot of absinthe over the sugar cube. Use a lighter, and light the sugar cube. Dunk the whole thing – cube, fire and all – into the glass and stir.
Hell, if you want to just get drunk fast, drink only absinthe for the whole game. You’ll be shitcanned in no time. ;)
Can you get absinthe in the US?
Why Not Pass The Time With A Nice Game of Solitaire?
More SotU victims! When will it end? As much as I’d like to watch the State of the Union address, I have no immediate desire to die of alcohol poisoning. I’ll probably be back tomorrow with a condensed, subtext-ridden…
My god, Rox, I hope you didn’t actually do this. You’d be dead from alcohol poisoning within 10 minutes :P.
You can get absinthe in the U. S. now, but it doesn’t have wormwood in it. I’ve seen absinthe with wormwood available for sale on the Internet. One site was Russian. I don’t know if it could be shipped here, though.
No alcohol poisoning. Remember, I’ve done the Shot Hall of Fame. Four times.
And I have the photos to prove it.
Which one is Roxanne in those pics, Roxanne?
I’m going to keep you guessing for awhile.
