Coors Light? Shit… just a few more and he would have got a buzz!

A Coors sounds kinda good now after reading that…

If he’d drunk that much Austrian beer, he wouldn’t have drunk that much, because he would have been dead long before… Cheers!

I am humbled. When I was 24 I thought I was hot shit because I stacked enogh empty Coor’s beer cans along one wall in my apartment to completely cover it from side to side, and top to bottom.

It never occured to me a person could fill the whole place with them.

Zilch: If he’d drunk that much Austrian beer

If he’d drunk that much Australian beer ... ditto.
Then again he was obvioulsy drinking for the Taste rather than the Effect.
If he’d been living in South Oz where they return 5 cents per can/stubbie the place woulda been empty. 

Evidently waste management is an elusive concept in Ogden. Don’t be that guy, indeed!

If there’s any beer left in the can, that shit can turn into some foul smelling phlegm-like substance.  I had to shake that shit out of some the beer cans I collected.  That house had to fucking stink.

if he’d drunk that much australian beer he would have fermented from the inside out.

off topic

when i was a kid, tennish, i saw a colourful animated film clip for a song that was like a cross between the Beatles love is all you need and yellow submarine. never saw it again, never knew what is was called or even remembered any of the lyrics. occasionally that fleeting memory bubbled to the surface of my neuroswamp, but there was nothing i could do. UNTIL TODAY, when perusing boingboing after following the link to the beer story, there was an article on the song i havent heard for approaching two decades with a pic of the guitar playing who’d so enraptured me as a child. now i can download it, have a brief gush of nostalgia and think back to when life was a strictly ordered regimen of being a smartass and dicking about. THX LES!

On the same page i saw, among other hilarity, an article on the fish the mombasans wanted to put in the national museum because it appeared there was an obscure koranic verse written on its scales. those kooky mombasans

btw the song was “Love is All,�? performed by Elf/Rainbow/Black Sabbath singer, Ronnie James Dio.

That film clip you found, Death, reminded me of two things: the acid trip I was expecting but never got, and a strange revival of a memory I’d completely forgotten.  Looking a children’s books in Cody’s Bookstore years ago, I came across The Dragons of Blueland, which must have been read to me as a small child.  I opened it and one of the pictures triggered a response in me like nothing I’d ever experienced: a primordial depth of feeling far surpassing ordinary recognition.  It only happened the first time I saw the picture, and nothing like it has ever happened since.  That’s the closest I’ve ever come as an adult to recollecting the naked power of images to a child.

The Mombasa fish is another one for Les’ files on seeing faces where they aren’t, with a twist.  I have to wonder if seeing Koran verses in the pattern on a tuna’s back isn’t the Muslim equivalent of seeing Mary in a melted cheese sandwich, since Muslims are prohibited from depicting their prophets.  In a way, the beautiful and fantastically inventive Koran scripts, for instance the ones I’ve seen in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, could be seen as the flowing of religiously driven artistic impulse, which, since denied the outlet of picturing people, flows into writing; and also into the wonderful geometrical decorations we can see in the Alhambra.

That prohibition has always struck me as a hard one to circumscribe, let alone enforce. There was a discussion on my local TV station sbs on those stupid cartoons, and i wanted to get a photo of a random arab, with the caption ‘Mohummed’ flashing on and off. Not blasphemy, blasphemy, not blasphemy....

replace get with contribute oops

Here in Saskatchewan those 70,000 cans would be worth 7 grand, as the deposit is ten cents a piece.

Thank you very many for that clip, Death. Damn, acid flashback’s kicking in…

Excellent clip,remember loving it as a kid and have had reoccuring memories of it occasionally over the years! - especially love the 3 drunken lizards

(Qoayn using guest login feature, Im gettin shit for my password...)

Im gonna hafta agree with tim on this one..

365days x 24 cans/day x 8 years = 70,080 cans

70080 x .10 dollars/can = 7008.00$

70080 x .05 dollars/can =3504.00$

michigan is (was?) a .10 deposit last I checked.
maryland here is .00 the cans are worth scrap

To bring attention back to that magical clip, Ronnie James Dio sounded to me no more than nineteen or twenty there, yet in actuality he was thirty-two at the time. Weird.

Damn, I’m bored.

DTH: btw the song was “Love is All,�?

Thanks. That was a nice memory of a different time and place, in my head – late 20s …sex, drugs and drugs and sex … one of the reasons I left Melbourne in 76 in my HQ panel van with 16 Buddha sticks and Crime of the Century playing through my headphones, is coz I felt my life was too decadent – when I got to Townsville I was there to meet me and we continued. Geographicals - can’t trust ‘em.

Sadie: Damn, I’m bored.

I’m listening to Santana (my favourites from his discography – currently ‘Treat’), drinking beer, smoking and not-really-watching muted AFL on the box. Not much has changed. Wonder what I’ll do when I grow up.

Jeebers - as much as I love that song,I could’nt sleep last night from constantly playing “Love is all” over and over thru my mind!!..maybe I should take something from that - needless to say ive just watched it again 3 or 4 times - time for bed !!

Where did they come up with the 70,000 number.  Do you think someone actually counted them?  I bet it just sounded good.

P.s..Sadie - your old avatar rocked on! - please “re-instate” it!

Bugger the cans mate! - have you seen this cool video? 

Jeebers - as much as I love that song, I couldn’t sleep last night from constantly playing “Love is all�? over and over thru my mind!!..

Funny you should mention that - our new single hit the chart this week with a bullet ... with a bullet.
Say no more.
Is anyone gonna get this one?

Too easy.
Sorry. I’m a bit ‘inebriated’: lol:

Randall asks…

It’s an issue of simple math. The article suggests they turned them in for the deposit and ended up with around $800. Divide that by the return deposit for that state and you should have a pretty good idea of how many cans you had.

It’s an issue of simple math.

Oh come on Les.  “Simple math”?  What state has a deposit of 8/7 of a cent for a beer can?

Les: It’s an issue of simple math.

Trust you to get pedantic and, … mathematical.
Why d’ya have to ruin a dream most of us (not you of course – you don’t drink – you’re real straight arrow, Howie) can get off on, in our wildest and drunken fantasies?
Forgive me –I’m a bit inebriated. Thank god for spell-check. DOUBLE
