I don’t drink beer. I don’t like the way it smells, and I can’t even imagine how it must taste. But I must say, these are some really creative ways to get to it.

Some of the most creative videos in the history of mankind are beer videos.

I’m with Tedtam. Raised in Wisconsin where breweries large and small were everywhere, and I don’t drink beer. Can’t abide the taste of any of them.
If a selection could be made on the basis of clever advertising, I’d choose Hamm’s Beer out of Minnesota. If it’s still made. From the land of sky blue waters with cute bears as spokesfolks. Wouldn’t work today with all the insane pseudo pc strictures on any hint of taking the slightest cultural snippet of Native Americans for commercial purposes if you aren’t a Native American. Actually these days Hiawatha, Nokomis, or Minnehaha couldn’t get away with it either. But only 1/64 Indian, in like Senator Pocahontas. -

Some of the best videos were immediately preceded by “Hold my beer and watch this.”

Russia tells the U.S. that a dangerous terrorist is in the U.S. and our government yawns and says its investigation shows he’s no danger. Thereafter, he blows up the Boston Marathon.
The U.S. tells Russia that it has guy who has endangered global security. Russia responds, “bite me.” -

Here’s a toast to those of us here who have lived long enough to remember these:

I saw this on FB, liked it, and knowing that many Hamsters don’t do FB, I am posting the story here…
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room’s only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by
describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days, weeks and months passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.

Weiner firms up his position and thrusts into the lead in the NYC Mayoral race. The campaign has erected a significant margin and may result in Weiner penetrating the Mayors office.While it does seem that he has things well in hand, it may turn out to be a fantasy. What issues will the final thrust of the election be based on is the question. This may be a case of peaking too early and he may end up thinking its over before the other participants do, leaving them wondering if that’s all there is.
So the question is, does he have the stamina? -

My question is, doesn’t gravitas count for anything any more?

#24 mharper42, I saw that also, very good. Oh, and I figured that the guy was blind early on.

Not if you’re a pervy Democrat.

A Chevy dealership that had been in bidness since 1946 closed its doors in 1996. The owner apparently was stuck with a lot of inventory that didn’t sell. Its being auctioned off in September. Here’s the list of what’s for sale. Of special note will be the “mileage” column. If you want to have some fun, scan that column first.
Apparently, Chevy pickups were never that popular in Pierce, Nebraska.
Story with pics and video here. -

Thanks. That was as cute as I recall it. 🙂 -
Dreamy McMocha sez you people are a buncha flat-earthers.
I guess the running off to play golf thing wasn’t working to distract anyone from the scandals any more.
To paraphrase Glenn Reynolds: I’ll believe that AGW is a really serious problem that must be solved when the people who are telling me that it’s a really serious problem that must be solved start acting like it’s a really serious problem that must be solved. -

Three Corvairs with no mileage? They ought to bring a pretty penny!
Not to mention the low miles Studebakers. -

Three Corvairs with no mileage? They ought to bring a pretty penny!
Not to mention the low miles Studebakers.Actually, I think there are two more deep in the list.
A 1958 Cameo pick up with 1 mile on it (and the floor mats still wrapped and behind the seat), a 64 Chevy pick up with 8 miles on it, a 58 Ford Ranch Wagon with 23K, there’s even two ’70s vintage Vegas with less than 20 miles on them. How much is even a POS car like the Vega worth if it’s 40 years old with 4 miles on it?
Even the “high milage” cars on that list have relatively low mileage on them for the vintages. There’s only a handfull that approach 100K, and most of them are under 60K.
And that doesn’t count the furnishings and OEM NOS parts and customizing stuff that’s in the building. Then there’s the catalogs, manuals, and advertising. We’re talking a take on this somewhere in the range of the GDP of a third world nation.
There’s a freaking ’29 Durant in there with 49K on the odometer. -
Prosecutors admit that the former girlfriend of the kid who would look like bronco’s son if he were still alive and bronco actually had a son lied under oath.

Keep in mind your transport costs from The Middle Of Nowhere Nebraska.

Keep in mind your transport costs from The Middle Of Nowhere Nebraska.Pshhhaw–
A quick oil change, lube, new tires and a tank of gas and you could drive your Corvair with 20 miles on it to Flardar from Nebraska and it would still be worth a kajillion dollars. -

At this point in time, I wonder if the fact that a witness is a known liar even matters to the average juror you pull in off the street. -
A truck stuck in Pierce, NE looking for a load might actually haul it for free for ya.

I can’t imagine this being sold or advertised these days.
Someone would go to jail! -
WARNING! If SCOTUS finds this, all heck could break loose!
I had no idea there were special “homosexual” facilities. -
Sen. Marco Rubio took to the floor of the U.S. Senate Wednesday afternoon, to address concerns that have arisen from some grassroots conservatives over his support of immigration reform.
“I have received numerous emails and calls from conservatives and tea party activists,” he said at the beginning of his remarks.
“To hear the worry, anxiety, and growing anger in the voices of so many people who helped me get elected to the Senate, who I agree with on virtually every other issue, has been a real trial for me,” he confessed.Lemme ‘splain it to you Marco.
What you did was roughly analgous to telling people you are a Christian, then telling other folks that you believe Paul and Peter were complete frauds. I mean, you agree with us on all the rest of it, right? Why should anybody be upset? -
#39: Backhauls are coveted up there. There are lots of trucks going up to the Baaken Shale play loaded and some are coming back empty, others hauling hay or shudder crushed cars.

The wild cheering from the same sex marriage group over the DOMA ruling shows many think same sex marriage has been declared constitutional. No such thing. It only deals with those who were married in states that legalized ssm are eligible for the same federal tax treatment as are hetero married couples. Likewise the finding that California’s Prop 8 passage affirming marriage between one man and one woman was not valid only applies to California and not to the other states. The celebrating is way premature.
As for Texas, things will be really sticky for any group trying to declare that our limitation of marriage to one man and one woman is unconstitutional. It is part of the Texas constitution thanks to Texans voting overwhelmingly to amend our constitution declaring that to be the case. -

Sadly, Marco continues to self-destruct in the most public way. He’s melting, melting with the help of the rest of the Gang of 8. -
Apparently, the kid who looks like bronco’s would-be young male he-child thought hamous was following him at one point.

#50 Homer: Have you read some of the commentary? There are people out there who boldly proclaim that they should take Z out and shoot him now. Balsak OJugEars has done wonders for race relations, hasn’t he?

Thanks.
I like the concept. Maybe it will catch on.
It will need to go viral for the low information voters to be curious. -
#59: I would have answered your question, but I had to cut the grass. I started at 1945 and just finished, water is flowing on the lawn now. It is a tad on the warm side out there, hot enough to make new yankees melt into a wimpering mass of sweat, lies and astonished disbelief.

I didn’t have to mow this week.
The State made our landlord install water meters and he is now charging for water.
And we refuse to pay him for the privilege of watering his weeds for him.
So the lawn is turning from green to gray. I’m sure it will be brown by mid-July and straight blackland by August.
Oh well, I hate mowing anyway. -
Wow whodduh thunk bunsonburner got a job as a living, walking talking petri dish.

Hamous I went to your Chron link and read the story. I then did something I have not done in quite some time… I read the comments. I was actually rather surprised at the number of left leaning comments. I was also surprised at how many left leaning comments received a “thumbs up” while the right leaning comments received a “thumbs down”.
I use to check out chron.com on a daily basis until 2 or 3 years ago. Eventhough the articles were slanted left, the comments generally leaned right. It seems the chron has been completely abandoned by the right now. If you want a good barometer of what the left “feels”, read the chron and the comments.
The cavalier and flippant comments pertaining to abortion from the left turn my stomach. We should all call our reps and let them know we support them.
Oh, and Hamous I did see your comment in there at the 7:32 pm mark. -

If I had that fur, I would have to move to Alaska.

TexMo – Yup, “progressives” are definitely the dominant species at chron.com, and they love them some thumbs down buttons. I like poking ’em periodically.

I found a use for Channel 8 (PBS). There’s an interesting documentary on tornadoes.

Salt Lake City —
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the following statement today regarding the decisions announced by the United States Supreme Court on cases involving marriage:
“By ruling that supporters of Proposition 8 lacked standing to bring this case to court, the Supreme Court has highlighted troubling questions about how our democratic and judicial system operates. Many Californians will wonder if there is something fundamentally wrong when their government will not defend or protect a popular vote that reflects the views of a majority of their citizens.
“In addition, the effect of the ruling is to raise further complex jurisdictional issues that will need to be resolved.
“Regardless of the court decision, the Church remains irrevocably committed to strengthening traditional marriage between a man and a woman, which for thousands of years has proven to be the best environment for nurturing children. Notably, the court decision does not change the definition of marriage in nearly three-fourths of the states.”A long long long road ahead.
