A Lowenbrau Moment

During a toast for Jane's birthday, I felt a fleeting moment of:

Here's to Good Friends..
Tonight is Kind of Special...

But I totally forgot the rest of the lyrics. I knew it was a beer commercial though. In fact, I pictured a group of teenagers drinking this mysterious beverage by the fire at a ski lodge. And two lumberjacks at a random hillbilly bar, clicking their beer bottles to toast their secret love for one another. Do you remember? Or am I making this up? I can't be sure. Anyway, it was Calvin who said "Lowenbrau" after I recited the first two lines.

Calvin was like, Have you ever tasted Lowenbrau? I was like, No.

So I found the rest of the lyrics on rockin' Wiki.

In the 1970s and 1980s in the United States, Löwenbräu was famous for its jingle, sung by Arthur Prysock:

Here's to good friends,

Tonight is kind of special.

The beer we'll pour

must say something more, somehow.

So tonight (tonight),

Tonight,

Let it be Lowenbrau (let it be Lowenbrau).

It's been so long.

Hey, I'm glad to see ya.

Raise your glass.

Here's to health and happiness.

So tonight (tonight),

Let it be all the best.

Happy Birthday to Me

It was fucken great. We reserved a private room in the back of Sake House and it was on! Good music, great food and fabulous friends! I would share stories of the evening but my memory was violently stripped away from me by alcohol. Yes, alcohol is evil. Real evil.

It was all sweet and innocent at first...

Then five minutes later...

Yup, I'm still standing at the end... sort of...

Good news for my alcoholic friends

Square One Vodka is the world's first certified organic vodka.

Their motto is, We're social and socially conscious.

I think they may need a catchier catch-phrase, but what a pretty bottle, huh?

Check out where you can purchase your own Square One and be social AND socially conscious!

Viva Mexico!

Possessing marijuana, cocaine and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if they are in small amounts for personal use under new reforms that quickly drew U.S. criticism... but not by this American!

Happy 4/20!

Maybe we'll have social security after all

Mike Walls never envisioned his golden years as a fight with drug addiction when a friend gave him a plastic bag of crystal-like powder and a promise of youth nearly two decades ago.

At 55, with rotten teeth, frayed nerves and high blood pressure — all brought on by meth — Walls has become part of a growing number of baby boomers struggling with addiction to the stimulant and seeking help after living with it through middle age.

Hey Grandpa, weren't you part of the Reagan era? Haven't you heard? Say No to Drugs, Bitch. That shit will fry your brains. Save it for the young... we still have plenty of brain cells to fry. Stick with BINGO.
