Common Sense in a Bottle

I love the new series of Miller High Life commercials. Their new spokesman/delivery guy is amazing. "$11.50 for a hamburger? Y'all must be crazy!"

But have you heard about their latest campaign?

They think it's ridiculous that companies are paying $3 million for a 30 second Super Bowl ad. So instead, being the working man's common sense beer, they are using only 1 second to get their message across.

Check out some of the ads that didn't make the cut at www.1secondad.com and watch for them on competing stations during the Super Bowl.

...And the world will live as one

While I'm on this YouTube kick...

Horny Toad Bar & Grill? I know that place. I've never been there, but they say it's the best Cranfills Gap has to offer. And now it's famous.

President Fairless

It seems Rick made a special appearance at the Inauguration last week:

You may be wondering why everyone else was wearing huge (heinous) hats and he was in a cut-off tee and sunglasses. Don't worry, he's from Texas.

Icy Ice House

This picture was taken at our bar this morning after our "horrible" ice storm last night. Compared to the storms at home (Fort Wayne, IN) this was nothing. But compared to the mild weather of Texas, this was severe. Schools were closed, highways shut down, 18-wheelers jack-knifed right and left. It was chaos. And yet, I made it to work. Averaged 30 mph the entire way, but I made it.

I know, I amaze myself sometimes too.

And don't worry. The ice was mostly melted by noon so that people could get on with their lives. At least that gives them enough time to re-stock their bottled water and canned veggies before the next big natural disaster hits!

My life in Web

My life in the past few months has been completely taken over by the process of updating our Strokers Dallas website.
