Man, I nearly choked on my Cheerios this morning when I came across the Chron's very own State of the Union drinking game. This would never have happened if Ann Hodges (who is no doubt lying down with a cold compress on her forehead right now) were still on staff, let me tell you! Thankfully, balance was restored to the universe when I realized that what they had come up with may be the lamest drinking game ever. Strip Cribbage sounds more exciting. I've still got a nickel that says someone will write an offended letter to the editor about this, though. Because, you know, children might have read it and fallen asleep in their oatmeal. Or something.
UPDATE: Ka-ching! Thanks to Lisa Adams of Humble for writing that letter to the editor I was looking for (look for "A bizarre game article").

I got so much practice at Rice vomiting.

This was one of those times I had to do a double take. When I read the opening line, I thought "choked on my Cherrios" meant something else. ;-0

Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on January 20, 2004 10:52 AMSome strange feeling seized me when I read your comment, Ralph.
Does Ralph's post look strange here?
No. So Ralph, what is the point in your comment?
There always has to be some point.
Nothing personal tho.
