Suckin' the Silver Bullet
Had yet another great day on my Colorado vacation. We slept in, which was so very nice, and then drove to Golden to visit the Coors Brewery. The brewery tour was awesome, and we got to see a lot of cool things. Best of all was all of the product tasting! I got to drink Coors Original that was "kegged" within 24 hours before my visit, kept at optimal temperature, and never left the brewery. It was so good!
Then at the end of the tour, all of the guests were entitled to three 12 ounce glasses of any combination of the Coors product line. Killian's Red, Keystone, Molson, Coors, Coors Light, Zima... you name it. I had Hard Green Apple Zima XXX and Black Cherry Zima XXX, then gave up because I was getting tipsy. My wife was going to drive, but after just 6 ounces of Orange Zima XXX she was a little tipsy herself... so we sat around waiting for the buzz to die, and shopped at the gift shop. How did we end up buying so much stuff...?
Later that day I saw a very disturbing sight, which had less to do with Colorado and more to do with the wandering mind. You know how Burger King had the huge inflatable Spongebobs and Shreks atop their buildings? Well, now they have Darth Vader. But, here is a word of caution to Burger King district managers... do not under inflate these. Seeing a limp Darth Vader bent forwards over the awning of a Burger King looks a lot like a giant flaccid black penis swinging back and forth in the wind... doesn't exactly make me want to order a "Whopper."
More later! Horns up!
