    Why do you thing I'm mad at you, Big Daddy, I'm just trying to help you out. Seating by a poll( a toilet), and drinking the Dylan Mulvaney beer is nothing to be proud off.

    Fortunately I am beyond needing your help! I appreciate the effort though. I am glad you finally refer to me in the way I am accustomed to being addressed in real life.

    I have no taste. Remember Wild Irish rose, mad dog? Threw up to all of that. Have no feelings either, drove for Jb Hunt. Drank PBR when it was 50 cents a quart, I may have been a couple of years from 21.

    Right after that came out and people were still having their panties binding up, a bunch of us went to the moose lodge. What did I order? A bud light, you can't offend me!

    In 1980 something when we were stealing Kroger White Label Beer out of my best friend’s Dad’s beer fridge PBR would have been like drinking something fancy! But we took what we could get.
