Mistakes Were Made

I was in the beer aisle of the grocery store last weekend.
The thoughts went through my head:

Tim: “Do you know what beer needs, Tim?”

Tim: “No. . . what?”
[I usually have internal dialogues like this]

Tim:“Beer needs the awesome taste of tomato and the refreshing zip of shellfish!”

Tim: “Really?”

Tim: “Yeah! Maybe clam!”

Tim: “Mmmm, clam! How about we dye it blood red and make it less fizzy. . . and how about a light beer too?!”

Tim: “Dude, you read my mind!”

And dammit!
Budweiser beat me to it!
And would you believe it only got a D rating on Beer Advocate?

Fishy Red Vomit Bonus Round:
The Beer Advocate reviews of this are pretty damn funny.

Greyhound buslines recently released a clever ad slogan:

“There’s a reason you’ve never heard of ‘bus rage’.”

So bad timing.
They are now removing these ads after the recent incident on one of their buses when a passenger (Vincent Weiguang Li, photo below) repeatedly stabbed, decapitated, and cannibalized another passenger.
