OT - Spreading around a really good idea

I'm a Livejournal member and there is this brilliant young lady there, one
SusieBeeca, and this is her idea:

There IS something you can do.
Let's start a different kind of drinking game for all of you who are sick of
this goddamned election.

Let's turn frustration into something healthier.

Every time you hear "purple heart", give someone a hug. If "purple heart" is
mentioned in plural, give them that many hugs. (That's two already---get to
it!)

Every time the President is referred to by a phonetic spelling of his middle
initial, make yourself a nice pot of tea.

Every time you hear a Bushism, pick up the dictionary and learn a new word.

Every time Teresa Kerry and "ketchup" appear in the same paragraph, try and
touch your toes.

Every time you see Democrats as a whole depicted by a donkey, buy someone a
drink.

Every time you see Republicans as a whole depicted by an elephant, say "Have
a nice day" to the next person you talk to.

Every time you feel like screaming at the television or newspaper, put a
handful of change in your pocket and go store to store, dropping coins in
their charity boxes.

Every time someone's military service (or lack thereof) is questioned, say a
prayer for someone who has died, is dying, or will die in a war.

TBird ---- will be dropping LOTS of coins in those charity boxes

Got TONS of hugs for my father (Retired U.S.M.C. Colonel) who has 2 purple
hearts, bronze star, gold star, silver star and untold number of ribbons.
Hugs to all those people.

Better idea. Shot glass chess. Every time you take one of the opponents
pieces (shot glasses) you take the shot. By the time you are done you won't
care if you've won the game or not.

Thanks for posting this TBird! I love it; tell this lady she's a gem for
making a positive statement out of a negative circumstance. I'm sending
this to all my friends.
