Repugnant, Suggestive and Lewd!

And I could go on how I and others feel about this unsightly “trend”.
Trend implies a ‘popular taste at a given time’. But, this has been going on for almost 20 years.

If not for the fact that Police Chief Dicks, was/is black, there would be an outcry of racism & discrimination. I have seen, however, claims of ‘racial profiling’. This is the contemporary means of labeling someone who doesn’t agree with you. And the ACLU is legend at defending these accusations under the guise of 1st Amendment freedoms.

Comment on A Manly American Pastime: Cheap Yard Beer by Bill Spradlin

Excellent article, Pabst is a true classic. I just wish they promote it more and get it in Wal-Mart in Texas. Distribution is spotty here.

Schaefer’s I haven’t seen in years. At my University it was the beer you’d drink at parties after you got wasted on good beer like Bud.

And as for Shrohs, I remember them making a big national push back in the late 80’s - early 90’s. But it never was able to compete with the big 3 (Bud/Coors/Miller). Then it was sold to Miller and went back to being a regional brew. Damn shame because it is an excellent beer. And Strohs used to have a very tasty budget beer called Gobels.

Strohs was big in Detroit in the ’50’s my older brother Don was a jumper on the Stroh’s truck when he came home from college each summer. He always said the Strohs put him through college. Beware, if you drank too many Strohs, you would wake up with a “Strohs Over”. They were miseable, worse than a nagging wife.

@Bob - Never had Carlings, but heard of it. $11.50 years back was a premium beer compared to some of our big hitters on this list. I used to get Schlitz (aka “The Cleaner”) for 10 cents/can. But again, it got its nickname for a reason. I am certain they used water from Mexico…

@Founding - Buying a whole pallet at a time. That is simply legendary. I love it.

This may be the single greatest post I have ever seen. Personally, I am partial to Natty. Back in the day, we would get a whole pallet at a time. $6.49 a case. Our parties then evolved to natty on tap... im pretty sure the keg deposits were more than the beer itself. Ahh the good ol days! Founding Fathers last blog post..UFC 91: Lesnar vs Couture

Great write up. I have a Yanks cotton baseball cap that fits me as if we were made for each other. This happened over years and years of wearing it. Because of your tips, I am now able to speed along the process with my other caps.

Thanks again.

Comment on How To Stretch And Be As Flexible As Bruce Lee by Dave

Great post on Bruce Lee as well as on flexibility training! From what you have listed down as Lee’s unequaled feats, I would think that he should be in the Guiness Book of world records, in case he isn’t there yet. I have watched several of his movies and his skills were truly awesome - unparalleled up to this day. I am also a fan of Jackie Chan but more because I find his movies hilarious. Bruce Lee remains to be the best martial artist-actor in the world!

Cheers to BL!
