OMG. When FM and I were in Athens last week, we watched the VP debate on my laptop in our apartment. At some time near the end we finally had the brilliant idea to start a drinking game: every time someone says "maverick", take a drink. And then they proceeded to say it like 18 more times. It was hilarious!
