It's tough to ignore products like Corona and Fireball. Especially Fireball because every girl wants rounds of it. A moderately busy place could probably go through hundreds of dollars worth a day since each putrid, sickening shot is $7. And it's only 15% ABV so you have to drink three times as much. Since 2011 sales went from $1.9 million to $61 million. That's 6,000%. Corona is something like the 6th biggest beer brand. Anyone not selling this stuff is missing out on potential thousands. My point is, why is all that shit in there to begin with? How hard is it to use either different sweeteners or, in the case of Corona, rice instead of corn and high fructose corn syrup? Why the fuck is a sweetener in a beer anyway? It's not like they don't have the money to use better adjuncts. It bothers me people continue to suck down a product containing substances that have no natural reason to be in the drink other than cost cutting. Fuck that.
And this is the follow up issue everyone's running with today - http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/life/ ... white-guys Also on Corona, it's over priced, shitty beer that is bought by bogans when they're having a big night in the city and want to 'splash out'. The price might be due to the transport costs of getting it down here, but it is one of the worst beers at its price point. Is it just cheap, domestic swill in Mexico that is some how fancied up overseas like Stella, or is it a beer pretending to be from somewhere but nobody in that country drinks it like Fosters?
Re: Nooz of the weeerd Are you familiar with Chelada? For some reason they seem to like it but it is seriously the most vile drink ever.
When I was in Mazatlan nobody drank Corona and some of the bars didn't even stock it. We drank a lot of Modelo, Sol and Pacifico. The working class locals all seemed to be drinking Tecate. That was back before the deal with InBev, though. Things might have changed with the marketing since then.
I took one of my dates to the bar about a month ago and we were outside while she smoked a cigarette. Two mid 20s dudes walk by and the drunker of the two said to her with me in clear view "Mmmm, I want a piece of that." and my date replies "it's just a cigarette." Moron replied with "I wasn't talking about that." I was leaning against my truck and at this point I stood up straight and said "Hey jackass, how about you keep walking before I smash your fucking face?" Keep in mind I am not a small guy by any means. I'm 220 pounds and 6'0 tall. Here is the rest of the conversation: Drunk guy stops and turns to face me: And if I don't? Me: (I take a few steps forward toward the guy) Apologize to the lady for being a rude asshole. Drunk guy: (takes a step forward in an aggressive manner and starts to put up his hands like he is going to fight) Me: (I take my keys out of my pocket and unlock my truck and slightly turn around to act like I'm going to grab my gun) Drunk guy: Hey man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We don't want any trouble. Both dudes end up going inside the bar and that was the end of it. While I clearly wouldn't use a gun on one inebriated moron I was hoping the thought of me opening my truck would be enough to scare both of them off. I'm a firm believer that if people were punched in the fucking face more often they would be more polite. Unfortunately people these days are lawsuit happy so I do not oblige their unspoken requests for fear of a lawsuit.
So your gun was in plain view when you turned and opened your car door? Did you brandish it in some way? Had you been drinking and went for a gun? All sorts of questions where pulling a gun could have fucked you right quick.
Most badass story ever? Wait no, pretty stupid actually. Next time shoot them in the foot. Maybe that'll teach them to respect the girl your with.
No, the gun was in the middle console. I did not in any way brandish it. I had one beer earlier during the night about two hours prior and was 100% sober. The point wasn't that I was going to pull out the gun (I wouldn't have because a few punches frankly isn't worth getting legally fucked over). With two morons, I don't know their intent and when the dude stepped to me like he was going to fight I had already made a conscious decision I would throw a punch if necessary, but I hoped the act of me just turning around and unlocking the truck would have scared them off. Toddamus I'm not sure if you're intentionally being a troll but I clearly said I wouldn't shoot the guy much less pull a gun on him. If someone is going to be an asshole to my face they are going to get called out on it.
The problem with your whole entire scenario is that you were prepared to engage a couple of drunk assholes to white knight for a chick. I'm not nearly as big as you nor am I intimidating in the least. If I were to pull my concealed weapon, I'm prepared to use it. Otherwise, it never comes out. I won't use it as an empty threat. And your situation is exactly what I wouldn't want to have happen to me.
I'm a walking stereotype. As a result of drama surrounding getting the organ into my 100 year old church (my uncle drove all the way up from Houston today to see my church in person to make sure his organ can fit), a "wedding planner"/friend of a friend (a term I'm using loosely), and future in-laws, I'm handling my stress by working out, dropping $300 at Anthropologie, and eating a bag of Baked Lays in one day. My IBS is in full-swing. Wheeeeeeee! Who wants to marry THIS?
In hindsight it would have been a stupid reason to get into a fight over, but I never actually said I would shoot him, I specified and actually told him I would punch him in the face. For clarification, I never intended to use or brandish a firearm. In no way shape or form did I ever feel my life was in danger. The way I saw it playing out was one of three ways: I get my ass beat by two dudes after one of them punches me, I end up beating up a dude after he punches me, or both guys walk off because they *think* I have something in the truck. I never implicitly said I was getting a gun or even had one. Getting an ass whopping isn't enough of a reason for me to shoot someone but I can see where everyone would draw that conclusion based on my original post. My apologies for not being clear in the original post.
I really want to fit this in during the reception. It's my favorite band and I was at the concert in this video. Rhett also screwed one my friends when we were in high school, so there's that.
Apparently, if Audrey's experience has taught me anything, I'm going to have to go ahead and stick a finger up your vagina to find out what kind of lady you truly are before I even would consider marrying you.
