Two Easy Woodworking Gift Ideas

Everyone knows about tic tac toe. All you need is a block of wood cut into a square and a drill. I used some dowels which I painted different colors but you can also use golf tees, nails or even bullet shell casings. 

The second gift may be slightly less well known but if you've ever been to Cracker Barrel, on in my case my grandparents house, you're probably familiar with the triangle peg game. 

Here is a template for drilling out the holes... You may need to resize the image.

2018 State Of The Union Drinking Game

President Trump is going to give his first ever State of the Union Address tonight. Given his track record on speeches, and going off script, this could be the craziest address ever. 

We all know that Trump likes saying everything is "Fake News" and likes to praise Russia and Putin so why not turn tonight into a drinking game...Being drunk will probably help get you through the entire thing.
Please drink responsibly and NEVER drink and drive...your dog won't understand why you didn't come home...your cat will likely rejoice so don't give that asshole the satisfaction.

Here are the rules: 

Take a sip if Trump says “Russia” or “China.”

Take a swig if Trump praises Putin.

Take a shot if Trump says something in Russian.

Take a shot if Trump says “fake news” or “collusion.”

Take a swig if Trump says “witch hunt.”

Take a shot if Trump names specific news outlets.

Take a sip if Trump claims things are “going great.”

Take a swig if Trump claims credit for something great he had nothing to do with.

Take a shot if Trump claims credit for something that hasn’t even happened, 

or that happened prior to his presidency.

Take a sip if Trump mentions the Democrats.

Take a swig if, at any point, Democrats stand to applaud.

Take a shot if Trump speaks kindly of Democrats.

Finish the bottle if Trump creates a new nickname for any Democrat during the speech.

Take a sip if Trump goes obviously off script. 

Take a swig if Trump makes “wise guy” type gestures with his hands.

Finish the bottle if Putin is actually in the audience.

Drink all the alcohol in your house if Kanye West interrupts and announces his plans to run in 2020.
