PenskeFest2004??

(Note that I will never have any objection to the name, because HandFest2004 has a whole different connotation attached to it, which I want no part of...)

I like the human domino ad as well, but it makes me wonder... how exactly is that supposed to inspire me to drink their beer?

For the record, it ain't working. I will not drink Miller Lite. Don't eve ask me to.

Ummm...dtb? I don't see any sweater. I think you are imagining it.

I don't think things can shift on an axis. I think the axis itself would have to shift. And I am quite charming to those deserving of such treatment.

I won't drink it either, but I do have this odd urge to push people in the back when I'm getting off the train in the morning.

(Psssst. Look again. There ain't no sweater.)

The domestic beer market is almost completely driven by advertising. Taste tests have shown that domestic lagers are virtually interchangeable*.

So, it may not inspire you, but it inspires NASCAR fans and other ignorant Americans.

*they all taste like crap

And it's important, when you sit back to drink your microbrew or your German specialty beer (none of which suffer the debasement of "advertising," of course) not just to enjoy the taste, but to enjoy the vague sense of superiority that it bestows.

All right, all RIGHT... maybe it's not a sweater. But there is definitely something draping over her left shoulder, and in combination with the thing flopping over her right arm, I thought it was a sweater.

I so wanted it to be a sweater. Damn.

Not that I'm particularly wedded to that look, mind you -- I just wanted to irritate Thurgreed. You may have escaped me today, my pretty, but vengeance shall be mine, I tell you... MINE!)

"hockey: made in America"

And I was looking through the LL Bean catalog last night and came across a series of "An American Thing" sweatshirts -- one said "Hockey: An American Thing." With all of the patriotic bells and whistles.

Did they mean "North" American?

So, ignorant Americans pay attention to packaging and ignore content, right?

Ever wonder what to wear in the morning? What would look best?

Ignorant American.

Of course. I assumed the FB would imply this.

I'm going to have to ask what you're talking about. Who is wearing a sweater around her neck?

Take a look at Tiger's mom. She is wearing a strange shirt that is part polka dot and part solid red. the polka dot part has a collar and is buttoned at the top, but it is also part of the sleeves because you can see the polka dots on the cuffs. The rest of her sleeves are red. It is a weird shirt because it looks like she is wearing a polka dot shirt (partially buttoned at the top) over a red shirt. But that's not the case because the red from "underneath" appears on her sleeves and then the polka dots reappear on the cuffs. So it must be all one shirt.

Elin is wearing a red, short-sleeved shirt.

No one has a sweater tied around their neck.

You are nuts and I can't wait to hear how you make what either of them is wearing into a sweater tied around a neck.

Now, what were you saying about that woodshed?

I'll wait for you by the woodshed.
