We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and “slipped the surly bonds of earth” to “touch the face of God.”
    President Reagan, Address to the Nation, January 28, 1986

Internet!

I finally have the Internets on a regular basis again! So it’s time to fire up the blog again… hopefully much more often than I’ve been posting lately, that is if I can continue to find compelling things to say.

I’m sure no one reads this anymore anyway. So what the hell…

Oh! Here’s a better late than never drinking game I wanted to post the other night. If you happened to Tivo the speech, you can replay it for Friday night!

I am proud to present…

Ted Kennedy’s State of the Union Address Drinking Game

Follow the directions whenever Our Leader utters the following words or phrases.

  • America take a shot.
  • Americans take a shot
  • Enemy take a shot
  • Iraq take a shot
  • Terrorist(s)/Terrorism take two shots
  • Al Qaeda take a shot
  • Health or Healthcare drink some water (you know, for your health)
  • Insurance take four shots, because you know that’ll never happen.
  • Medicare take a shot, preferably of an aged whiskey.
  • Troop Surge chug for 5 seconds.
  • Foreign Oil/Oil/etcTake two shots.
  • War on Terror just go ahead and finish up whatever you’ve got a bottle of…

That’s all. I realize it would’ve been better to post this Tuesday night, but what the hell.

Wii

Patrick (sarcastically, after I snicker at his playing Super Mario Brothers): I’m sorry I’m not the game master you are…”
Me: Naw, I play videogames like teenagers fuck.
Joe: It’s awkward and no one really enjoys it.

Wow

Holy shit. I guess it’s time to get a new phone.

Joe wonders, will it blend?
