Top Ten Things I'll Be Doing On Election Night (apologies to Letterman)
10. Write a thank you note to bush for his last minute campaigning to assure that all republican candidates lose.

9. Put two bottles of champagne on ice: One for the House win, another for the Senate win.

8. Curse at how slow the overloaded DU site is working.

7. Find the least annoying websites to track for incoming results.

6. Remove any sharp objects from the house in case results turn negative.

5. Surround myself with a lot of munchies to keep from biting my nails to the quick.

4. Keep a supply of soft items such as rolled up socks close by to throw at Chris Mathews or some other cable jerk, without harming my television set.

3. Alert my neighbors that at some point I will be yelling really loudly and they shouldn't call 911.

2. Clear the floor of any stray items that might trip me up once I start pacing.

1. VICTORY! Drink both bottles of champagne, throw up, go to bed.

How about you?

1. Pretty much the same, only without the "throwing up".
Ya LIGHTWEIGHT, you! :toast:

2. I've got 5 things
1. Watch in horror while the Repugs steal another one.

2. Pack bags.

3. Kiss the flag on my porch.

4. Cry for America.

5. Leave for good.

13. I've got an additional one
Pull up the bricks from my badly done patio and distribute them to people with good arms for launching at appropriate targets.

4. I'm all over #9.
Picked up two bottles of Spanish Champagne today. They are on ice right now.

Ms. Longship is on notice that we'll uncork one when the House goes Dem, and the second when the Senate goes Dem.

If neither happens, I've got a liter of

to get started on a very long and deep drunk.

8. Good for you. I'm off work Tuesday.
I've alerted my husband and kids that I am useless on Tuesday so don't bug me. We will order take out for dinner. The only emergency I will attend to is a homework crisis.

Otherwise, I'm at my computer, TV and phone.

Can't wait.

9. Party at my place
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 10:50 PM by marshland
I'm having an election night celebration at my apartment on Tuesday night with some of my friends. We've been working our arses off to get Pederson elected.

I stopped at Costco today and picked up all the necessary food and champagne.

Oh, yeah. I took off Wednesday from work. I plan on partying well through the night! :party:

10. I think I'll have a shot of tequila for every D replacing a R
House & Senate (and local races). I think I am going to be really, really sick on Wednesday.

19. Damn. You are right. This could be serious alcohol poisoning.
I don't even think I can take 60 slugs of beer.

I think I'll just have water, so I can really enjoy Wednesday, November 8th. It will be great!!!

26. I still have my champagne from 2000!
Bought it for Gore, it's STILL in the fridge! WAS going to drink it in 2004, but...

So it's there for the taking, a nice ice cold bottle, ready and waiting.

Ill add one.

My next door neighbor is on the Town Council and a die hard puke. Lawn signs everywhere for all pukes. My lawn meanwhile has Dem lawn signs as far as the eye can see. It must look pretty humorous to traffic going by. In any case, if we win, Ill run out and grab all his signs, rip them in pieces, jump up and down on them, laughing maniacally while clutching said champagne...

:party: :toast: :beer:

27. I'm going to have a really cool election night!
I have a ticket to see Al Gore speak at a nearby college! :bounce: He'll be talking about the environment. There's a book signing afterwards so I may actually get to meet him! By the time I get home from that, maybe some results from the elections will be in. It's looking like it may work out to be a night to remember. :woohoo:
