Severe global recession. Rising violence. Global warming. And now, the Swine Flu. How should we deal with this? Here's my suggestion:

About Me
- superdave524
- I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck. I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?

I never got into the JRR Tolkien books, so I couldn't comment on your tree post.
But what I DO know it that Lando Calrissian was the ONLY spokesperson for Colt 45...not some white human in a suit.
Lando was good, no doubt, but it's the white guy and those commercials I remember from my youth.
(and you might like Tolkien better if you knew he was a good Catholic and was responsible, in part, for C.S. Lewis' conversion from Atheist to Christian).
How do you think I get by?
(and I would kill for that tulip chair/table in the ads)
Dave, I don't remember those ads, I certainly do remember Billy D's sales pitch. "All I need is six of these... and a little luck."
Ok Lando, A-you're not a bad lookin' dude. B-er, famous. 3- You get 6 Colt 45's in anybody and luck aint got nothing to do with it!
That's what I remember.
That's funny right there A-Man. I don't care who you are. You can't laugh at that you may as well just go blog on Fox or CNN and get up on outta here.

Only you, John, would see those commercials and think of the dinette set.
Well, Ange, the Billy Dee commercials were more prominent. Also, these commercials were a little earlier. I was ten in 1970, barely old enough to glom onto those beer commercials, and I got 15 months on you.
Andy, er, Larry, you are correct, sir.
I never got those C45 ads, what the hell does that mean? A completely unique experience? Like, "it sucks like no other malt beverage you've ever had?" ... And Aman, remember Billy D's kicker line? He'd put his arm around the wasted lady, wink at the camera, and say, "Colt 45, Works Every Time." ... as in, get her drunk! Goes along with the Schaeffer ads of the same time, "Schaeffer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one!" presumeably cause it's cheap and you won't care what it tastes like
Well, what I got out of it, was that bad sh!t could be happening all around, but you won't care, because you'll be good'n drunk. 'Course, I could be wrong.
It's kinda like "The Most Intersting Man in the World" ads for Dos Equis.
Hadn't see that one 'til you just mentioned it, Star. I dig it. Truly, beer makes me more interesting (and interested).
