<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Last night was waaay too fun. I learned a lot last night on Election Day. <\/p>\n
The most important thing I learned: Watching the presidential election coverage on cable would make a great drinking game.<\/p>\n
Take a sip if:<\/b>
\nAnyone says “Florida”\u009d
\nAnyone says “Ohio”\u009d<\/p>\n
Do a shot if:<\/b>
\nAnyone says “too close to call”\u009d
\nAnyone mentions Gore in the 2000 election<\/p>\n
Beer bong if:<\/b>
\nA candidate announces victory, before the opponent concedes
\nFox News projects Bush to win before all the other networks<\/p>\n
Down a keg if:<\/b>
\nNader wins any electoral votes
\nKerry or Bush asks for a recount<\/p>\n
During the pre-election run to the convenience store, I picked up a few things to snack on during the night. One of the coolest things I picked up was the new Barq’s Floatz. It’s a frozen treat with the taste of a root beer float. FOR ONLY 75 CENTS!!!<\/p>\n
They were so cheap that I bought two.<\/p>\n
The Barq’s Floatz is exactly like those frozen fruit push-pops I used to get with my school lunch. You basically have to push out the goodness, like you would if you were trying to milk toothpaste out of the tube.<\/p>\n
It tasted just like a root beer float, except without the spoon, two straws, and the beautiful girl to share it with.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I’m talking to you, baby doll. Would you like to be the beautiful girl to share it with me? I got your straw right here, baby. Uh huh. Yeah, I know what you like”\u00a6 <\/p>\n
W-w-what?<\/p>\n
Oh sorry, been kind of lonely recently.<\/p>\n
The only thing I was disappointed with was the size of the three-ounce Barq’s Floatz, because it takes only a minute to eat the whole thing. <\/p>\n
Now some of you might be saying, “Well what do you expect for only 75 cents?”\u009d<\/p>\n
Well in certain establishments, 25 cents will get me 5 minutes of pleasure in a small room with a window and a sticky floor. <\/p>\n
So for 75 cents, I expect a whole lot more.<\/p>\n
Item:<\/b> Barq’s Floatz
\nPurchase Price:<\/b> $0.75
\nRating:<\/b> 4 out of 5
\nPros:<\/b> 75 cents. Tastes like an actual root beer float.
\nCons:<\/b> Only 3 ounces of pleasure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
