More Debate Fun


Debate Parties

When responding to comments on my last blog my mind did one of it’s extreme departures into silliness. Maisie’s response was so correct. We have lost our ability to laugh at ourselves. How can we have some fun with all of this madness? I came up with the idea of debate parties patterned after super bowl parties.

Food could be things like super-sized hot dogs and goodies made with artificial sweeteners. There could be a contest comparing the super-sized hot dogs to hands. The one who matches size most closely gets to wear a sign that says “mine is bigger than yours” for the rest of the evening. Everyone would taste all of the artificially sweetened goodies then we would have a vote on which one deceived us into thinking it was real sugar the best. Of course there would have to be something slimy disgusting and nauseating, something cardboard, flavorless and boring, and something extremely deceptive that tastes nothing like it looks. The prize for best identifying the mystery food would be a sword to cut through the bull crap.

As a carry-over from the gong show theme there would be an actual gong. Every time someone detects an error in the info presented they would hit the gong. A score keeper would make note and after the debates were done the “gongers” would have to identify and explain the detected inaccuracy. There would be life size piñatas that look like each of the debaters. When the debate is concluded everyone could take a turn at whacking the one they think lost. Of course the piñatas would not contain any candy as a symbol of the empty campaign promises. The evening would conclude with a bonfire, preferably located where it was visible to the public, where likenesses of each candidate would be burned in effigy.

I think you can get the idea. What can we add to the debate party?

You do have a wicked sense of humor at times!!!! Great ideas.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I'd love to watch a debate where Wolf Blitzer would administer a small electric shock to anyone caught telling a lie or interrupting. lol

Love the idea of the drinking game. If we actually voted like that we would have no problem getting the millennials to join in.

We could use the shock collars used to train dogs. They don't harm anyone but are very annoying. A neighbor tried one for their constantly barking dog but made all of the kids wear it and feel the shock first.

Our current political situation is so pathetic about all we can do is laugh at it.
