1. If I were still a partying man, that would have been a hell of a game of shots

Shot for every buzzword would have been rule.

3. I've never paid much attention to this actual aspect of dissecting

*'s speeches at least while I'm listening and trying to read between the lines HOWEVER, last night I immediately realized that "God" wasn't used not even in *'s typical benediction at the end of his tirades but I also noticed the new word "surge" wasn't used! I was amazed! This isn't to say I don't appreciate counts of these words.....it says a lot. Thanks.

4. I thought it was wierd too!

I guess 'Surge' isn't taking off as well as they planned. Also the 'God' thing...very strange, no?
