Mayoral Debate #4: Cay-Bla Goo-Bla

You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson Airplane, in a little rockumentary called "Gimme Shelter," about the Rolling Stones and their nightmare at Altamont. That night the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels had their way. Tonight, it's my turn.

It's no secret to many of our closest friends. Normie and I are big Jim Carrey fans, specifically, The Cable Guy.


It all started in high school when The Cable Guy was on HBO all the time. I ended up watching it several times over a holiday break and realized that it got better with time. I proposed this theory to Normie and that is when the Chip Douglas love affair began.


This week the Mayor is being a little curmudgeon-y. "Challenges annoy me," he says while stirring the taco meat for dinner. There is no room for surly-ness in the Mayoral Challenge. So, this week I am taking over for the Mayor. I am sure there is some fancy word for when a wife takes over office in the case that the elected official has a bad attitude. What's that called? Oh yeah, "Covering His Ass."


So, this week's Mayoral Debate theme: The Cable Guy


The Challenge: One Hour on the Trainer watching The Cable Guy spinning as far as possible.
The Extra-curricular:

• Play The Power Hour Cable Guy Drinking Game:
• Drink every time anyone says “Steven.”
• Sprint for 30 seconds any time a TV show or movie is mentioned by name.
• Drink whenever Chip is at someone’s door or on the phone.
• Drink five seconds whenever Chip sings with the song in the background.
• Sprint 30 seconds for any broken backboard.
• Drink ten seconds for any Ricky Ricardo laugh.

Scoring: A combined score of riding, brews, and style. Best of 3, wins.

Oh, and it's prison rules, which means that each brew I drink counts as 1.25 of Normie's. Sorry, I am calling a lactating-light-weight-don't-drink-anymore handicap. Normie, lemme know your thoughts on this part, but, let's be honest, you can drink me under the table any day.


Style:
As decided by the Electoral College. This could mean best Chip Douglas outfit, best Chip Douglas video impression, or even Chip Douglas Haiku. Whoever has the most style wins this category.
