In Defense of Cheap Beer

Wassup rockers!
I have a confession, my friends - yr ole pally Timmy, he sometimes cares too much about keepin up with them Joneses. Cares too much about what others think of him. You got a iPod? I got an iPod with video. You got a nine piece Chicken McNugget? I got a twenty piece McNugget. You got a PS3? I got a PS4, motherfucker.
So I'm here to renounce all that noise. And I'm starting with malted beverages.
To wit: there is nothing wrong with cheap ass beer.
Now, first, a distinction - if you are in an upscale restaurant, enjoying a nice meal, by all means order the $8 beer. I will continue to do so myself - good beer makes good food taste better.
Also, if I'm at a bar and just having a beer or two, I will almost always order a Newcastle or Sierra Nevada over a Bud Light. In the realm of "a beer or two", there is a great divide between Newcastle and Bud Light. Bud Light is meant for enjoying in bunches (i.e, 4 or more.)
BUT, if you are planning on drinking in bunches (7 or more), save yr money rockers. You are going to get a hangover anyway, so do what I do - go cheapie cheap. Pabst Blue Ribbon, Black Label, Natty Light - tell the truth, after 5 beers, can you tell the difference?
No. No you can't.
And that's why anyone who buys a twelve pack of Heineken is an asshole.
PBR, motherfucker!
Anyways.
Quickly:
- Fantastic "Office" and "30 Rock" last night. Subpar "Scrubs" (the whole "seeing yrself in yr patients" thing made me gag a lil bit), and I might be slowly losing interest in "My Name is Earl".
- The tentative title for my Best of 2006 mixes is "Live a Simple Life in a Quiet Town". Don't laugh fuckers, it's probably yr Xmas present! (Thnx for the idea, young Padawan!)
