HUFFPOST HILL ELECTION NIGHT DRINKING GAME - Take a sip every time you hear or see any of the following:

• A hologram.
• "Narrative."
• That awkward pause at the beginning of the hour when they're about to call a race(s) but mistimed the graphics.
• "Would you have thought that just X months ago we'd be here talking about Y?"
• "Wave."
• "1994."
• Stirring orchestral intros and outros.
• A Fox News pundit/anchor tying an obscure House race result to Iran policy.
• "Referendum."
• "This isn't about me."
• "Tonight we start to take America back."
• "Disconnect."
• "Let's go to the map."
• Any and all missed cues.
• "Thanks, Chuck."
• "Tsunami."
• "Speaker Boehner."
• "Looking ahead."
• Overwhelmed TV correspondents who can't hear the anchor over the din of the election party they're covering.
• "Pocketbook."
• Bill Bennett looking pleased-as-punch.
• "Stayed at home."
• "Well, [Anchor's name], voters sent a message loud and clear tonight."
• "Hard-fought."
• Contradictory turnout reports within 30 minutes of one another.
• "Day of reckoning."
• Any time Wolf Blitzer continues to talk past the point when the average human being would need to take an in-breath.
• If you look in the mirror and see a Democrat.

forgot repudiate on the list. I would have a screaming headache this morning if that word was part of the game.

My version of it was to take a shot every time the republicans gained a house seat. Then I realized that I didn't want to die ...

Who?

What?

The last thing I remember about last night, I was laying in bed with Democrat. I wake up this morning, and it's a Republican.

I worked the polls tonight in a repugnican-dominated county. I can't possibly drink enough.

I would recomment taking a bath in some good ol' wiskey, to get all those repugnican germs off .....then just seat yourself in the tub, maybe add some tonic water (make sure you keep the wiskey/tonic water ratio to 10/1), grab a cup, a good book, and drown your sorrows while getting clean.............other wise, i recommend one of those beer bongs, only with 151 and lime juice.....either way..you won't remember this nightmare of a night..........goood luck!!!
