The ‘Working Families’ Drinking Game
Are you sick of hearing that political catchphrase, ‘working families’, everywhere you go? Does it irritate the eejits out of you to hear how the government is helping ‘working families’ (as opposed to lazy, bludging families? working single people? pensioners? couples? what?) every time you turn on the radio or the news. Then the Purple Dragon ‘Working Families’ Drinking Game is for you!
‘Working Families’ drinking game*
This is a good way to make watching the news much more interesting.
Rules:
1. Grab the alcoholic beverage of your choice. It’s more fun with friends, but you can play it singly if you’re lonely and unpopular. Alcohol loves you just the same.
2. Switch the tv onto a news channel. If you’re on free-to-air tv, the ABC news is a good pick; it’s nice and long, and it has a varied, more thoughtful look at current events than other channels, which gives you more opportunities to play the game.
3. Every time one of Kevin Rudd’s people mentions ‘working families’, have a drink.
4. Every time some one from another political party** mentions ‘working families,’ have another drink.
5. If a more or less neutral group** refers to ‘working families,’ have two.
6. If the man himself, the honorable Keven Rudd, mentions ‘working families,’ yell ”BANZAI! “*** and have three drinks in quick succession, as fast as possible!
By the time you’re finished you will be completely sloshed, and feeling much more charitable towards this annoying catchphrase. The best part is, the rules can be adjusted at a whim and new ones can be added by players to make the experience more interesting. So have a go at the Purple Dragon ‘Working Families’ drinking game today!
*This will probably make no sense whatsoever unless you are familiar with Australian PM Kevin Rudd and his political policies.
**They do this surprisingly often. I don’t think they like this phrase, either.
***The Japanese equivelent of “Bingo.” It is pronounced sort of like ‘barn-z-eye!’ and is much more fun to yell than ”bingo” is.

See! At least if we’d voted for the Liberals, we’d have Peter Costello. I mean sure, his taste in ties is abhorrent but at least he doesn’t have that snooty sense of self-satisfaction that Kevin Rudd has. I don’t know about you, but as far as I’m concerned, the ties are the lesser of two evils.
Oh, and we wouldn’t be wasting billions of dollars of taxpayers money either. Epic win.
