Sunday morning beer commercial

Mornings are caffeine time, but this ad does tempt me.

First, note the time stamp on this post. I have just now succeeded in getting Minnow to sleep and have sat down with a cup of tea and tomorrow's lecture to prepare. It's going to be a long short night. And I'm already tired. I'm tired because for some inexplicable reason, Minnow couldn't sleep last…
An idle thought struck me. Let's say you're on the latitude of Northern Europe and you've become a locavore, someone who avoids foodstuffs that must be transported far from their production site. Let's also say that you don't like greenhouses. And finally, let's say you're hooked on coffee or tea.…

Last September, I chronicled my journey through a fairly typical weekday as a first year assistant professor with an infant. The day started early and never really ended, so it took me three posts to tell the whole story (1, 2, 3). I always intended to revisit the project again, but it's taken me…

You know... I've always missed the beginning and have only seen the end to that commercial.

Unfortunately, if the folks at Corona were at all serious about sales, they'd come and shovel my sidewalks so I can get out of the house and go to the liquor store to buy their wonderful product.

Why should this add tempt you PZ? It is not like you have any beach-ape like instincts, do you?

Jebus! I wouldn't buy that beer. That goddam commercial is also promoting Young Earth Creationism. Screw them!

Don't worry have a homebrew! It has to be noon somewhere...

Ironically, I tried my first Corona just yesterday. It has an interesting flavor - sort of spicy. Well, apparently, I'll have to try a few more to see if I really like it.

Out my window, the winter winds blow
And I love it, in case you don't know.
Take your tropical beach;
Keep it way out of reach--
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Sorry to disappoint you, Larry, but that's not irony. Also, Corona is nasty piss-water.

Don't worry, Dave, I still have a few bottles of your homebrew here. I'll open another one tonight -- I know it's better than Corona.

I didn't see this ad as advocating young earth creationism -- it's more like a proper appreciation of the power of geology and biology to change the landscape.

Oh c'mon, am I the only one geeky enough to recognize instant terraformation? This isn't geology, or creationism, its the Genesis Project from "Star Trek, the Wrath of Kahn"!

Those beer drinkers have to get off of their lazy bums and go looking for a guy with pointy ears. He should be around there somewhere.

Yeah, PZ, but just look at how fast they have it going! So, 6 000 years at that pace should just about get us from the day of Creation to now. I'd be suspect of their agenda. Where's it brewed - Kansas, Florida, Texas?

But if it's young earth creationism, who are the god and goddess at the end? Not that old fart Jehovah...

Any brewer who bottles beer in clear glass either doesn't know beer chemistry or doesn't care about the quality of their product.

Beer in clear glass + exposure to light = skunky flavor

This is beer? Looks like lemonade. ~:-|

That proves it then.

Aww, don't be hard on the good
Professor- Google says all they
have for liquor stores in Morris
is the Muni. Though I wouldn't be
surprised if they carried Brau
Brothers beer- they have a really
nice Scotch Ale.

Just as I thought. Anyplace is a good place to enjoy a fine brew. (One of man's oldest and most successful creations.)

Of course, one is advised to wait for the ambient temperature to fall to a suitable level . . .

I am enjoying the current beer at a temperature of seventy six degrees. Pity I'm not on a beach. It's snowing beyond the window. Fine with me and this beer.

Salute, and happy days.

Off topic, but I must tell you of the Dead Cowboy Toast. So called because it was told to me by a cowboy who has since died.

"The fleecy clouds may kiss the sky.
The rose may kiss the butterfly.
The deep red wine may kiss the glass,
And you, my friends," (dramatic pause)
"Fare well."

Gets 'em every time.

And here I was expecting for the beer to come flowing out of that volcano. Bummer.

Of course, if you'll notice, it would seem that neither of the people have consumed any of the stuff. They just set the full bottles there for the ambiance. Really not surprising, either. Corona. Blech! "Mexican" Budweiser.

However, as such things go, it's a nice ad.

Of course, anthropically speaking, it's amazing the complex series of events that was required to give these two people a suitable environ to drink their beer.

Corona is for the gabachos. There are much finer Mexican beers, many of which are also appropriate for the beach...

And, in keeping with E Pluribus Unum's toast, here's another one I've used from time to time:

Here's to you and here's to me
And never may we disagree
But if by chance we ever do
Then here's to me...and to Hell with you!

Hasn't quite got the twist of E's, but it's useful at the proper event....

It's a "macro micro brew".

But I'm partial to Bohemia and Negra Modelo myself. Bohemia constantly wins or places in the top 3 in international competitions driving the Germans and Belgians crazy.

Rich F,
The way I always say it is
"Here's to you and here's to me
the best of friends we'll always be.
But if, by chance, we disagree,
Then fuck you, here's to me."

A little saltier, but my four year old loves it.

Hmm, I prefer the Guinness take on it...come to think of it, I prefer the Guinness, too!
