*sob* I just love my chardonnay. *sniff* And I fear for it!
I've been meaning to try this out for a while but I finally decided to do it today, partly a spontaneous decision, partly to procrastinate from revision. Everyone knows my strange cable news love. Everyone knows my bleeding heart liberal tendancies. Everyone knows I think Glenn Beck is a tran wreck snake oil salesman scumbag (here's a typical clip if you have no idea who he is - and I'm sorry to be the one to introduce him to you. That clip is also from today's show). And today was the day the Glenn Beck drinking game made it's debut! Here are the rules:
Suggested drink - black Russians. Two things Beck hates. But I only had half a bottle of chardonnay so it did the job.
1 sip whenever he sighs pensively,
1 sip if he insults someone in a racist/sexist/homophobic/discriminatory manner,
1 sip whenever he talks about revolution/corruption/progressive/marxism/communism/Mao/Stalin/Putin/etc,
2 sips for chalkboard fuckery,
2 sips for whenever Beck laughs at his own joke,
2 sips when he talks about 'odd coincidences' or says 'I'm not saying...but...'
3 sips when he uses a weird prop,
Down your drink when he cries.
Here are my Tweets from the hour. Read from the bottom up.
I survived? I made it oh thank you! Thanks to everyone for putting up with my tweets. This was much harder than I thought. #BeckDrinkingGame via web
Beck's going a special episode on 'extremists.' I should buy more wine, right?
There are cameras everywhere in Fox? Can I get the camera in Shep's office? Please, I need it to restore my sanity! #BeckDrinkingGame
"I had no idea what I was going to say" in reference to Massa. No shit Sherlock. #BeckDrinkingGame
@ duckgirlie Oh christ I don't think my sanity could take that! I'll leave this for special moments of masochism.
I wish I'd kept some alcohol for the Beck-Rove 9/11 discussion. #BeckDrinkingGame
Yeah Lindsey Graham's a real bleeding heart liberal. I think I saw him on stage at Woodstock. #BeckDrinkingGame
Of cooourse Beck's pimping out Rove's book. Oh shit, Rove's actually there! *sob* #BeckDrinkingGame
@ trexsandwich I've moved onto Irn Bru and chocolate. Less chance of suicidal thoughts, although not by much.
Aand with that teary eye, I've run out of alcohol and I've still got one part to go. I didn't think this through. #BeckDrinkingGame
He's moved onto his special needs daughter. This is painful. Am drinking to dull the senses. #BeckDrinkingGame
Yeah! Fuck the poor! Beck'll need to sell his fear chamber because he'll be so poor! I don't think I'm gonna make it. #BeckDrinkingGame
Oh no, he's moved onto the census. #BeckDrinkingGame
It's on a break. Oh sweet merciful lord! Wow, there are a lot of gold adverts. #BeckDrinkingGame
And now it's chalkboard time! *fills up glass* #BeckDrinkingGame
Leave Woody Guthrie out of this! #BeckDrinkingGame
@ sarking Beck and logic are mutually exclusive.
'Cass Sunstein is the most dangerous man in America.' DRINK! #BeckDrinkingGame
Not only is Obama going to take your healthcare, he's gonna take your pie! Drink! #BeckDrinkingGame
and now he's talking about crack pie. Don't steal Anderson's junk food! #BeckDrinkingGame
@ sarking No he's now moved onto eating double fried cherry pie and telling people to eat what they want until they have heart attacks.
AAARGH and down your drink when Beck talks about sitting around in his underpants! #dagogglesdonothing
