There were two running jokes at the Undisclosed Location last night; every time Kerry mentioned Vietnam, everyone took a drink (or talked about it), and every time Kerry called for a summit (five times, by my non-scientific count), people ran for the beer cooler. (Note to non-Twin-Citians; Summit is a lip-smacking-good regional microbrew based in St. Paul that, now that I think about it, could use a good local talk show to sponsor...)
Atomizer takes the idea to its logical conclusion.

My lovely bride had the best comment of the night. When Kerry said for the umpteenth time "I was in combat..." she deadpanned, "Yeah. We know. Get over it."

I'm working to change that part.
In regards to the game, I heard the suggestion on the HH show for a drink after Kerry said Vietnam or Halliburton. By my count, I got one of each. I could have miscounted. There were several times I heard him want to say Vietnam where he used "when I returned from combat" instead. I was really ready for another swig! I got cheated. Being a local, I am rather dissapointed I didn't think of holding a summit at Kerry's suggestion.
BTW, doesn't Mischke have the Summit gig? But they could probably use another plug on Saturdays, especially with the streaming broadcast.
