STAY AWAKE, NOT SOBER FOR SANFORD’S BORING SPEECH
Tonight, Gov. Mark Sanford will give his seventh State of the State Address before members of the South Carolina General Assembly, the State Supreme Court, members of the cabinet and Constitutional officers and the people of South Carolina.
The speech will be broadcast on ETV at 7 p.m. from the Statehouse and at that time I will be off doing absolutely anything but watching ETV because listening to Gov. Mark Sanford talk for an hour is comparable to jamming a fork into your foot.
But if you’re the type that lives for such pain, then you might as well have a few drinks to dull the sensation. Therefore, I have put together a not-so-cliched State of the State drinking game (with a little help from my friends) so that you can get drunk with the guv. Those of you who are actually attending the event should bring a flask.
Here’s the game…
HOW TO PLAY:
Just grab a case or ten of Palmetto Pale Ale, a few bottles of Charleston’s Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, a few other sundry items, and your liver. Then just tune in and do follow along as Sanford uses the below words or phrases

good stuff
hm, do I have time to pick up supplies?
Hey Adam, I would like to add to your game—and finally—drum roll—have a total castration immediately after having major hemorrhoid surgery if—he mentions anything to do with requesting what is taking The Legislative Audit Council so long to do their audit of Corrections and exactly how many times that Ozmint and Corrections has been sued (and lost) on the tax payers dime!
Ooo-eee. That is some good stuff there, Fogle.
It’s too far to Ravenel Bridge…but in Lexington County we could do symbolic shows of support from Jakie Knotts Bridge.
I only commit to “supervise” — judging on form and spirit — not participate this time.
Best post ever.
Quit now while you’re ahead.
OK. I didn’t hear it…and there will be NO JUMPING OFF JAKIE KNOTTS BRIDGE. They say they don’t have the manpower or the money to save and fix your a55 if you hit a rough spot.
DON’T TRY IT.
Boy if you had a shot for the words Nikki and Nathan….you’d be drunk!
Thank God “change” and “Yes we can” weren’t on the list. No one would have survived.
