As a Mets fan, i can see how getting drunk at the game is an important part of dealing with the stress. With such a tight race for the NL East, and last year’s disaster still lingering… the fans need to blow off some steam. So what happens when you are drunk and sleeping at the game? You get beer cups stacked on your head, much to the delight of the Shea faithful…
10 Classic NORM! Quotes from Cheers
Remember the good old days of television, when sitcoms didn’t suck? When sexual harassment in the workplace was ok, drinking beer at noon was acceptable, and lawyers and doctors hung out with mailmen? When you could go to a place to take a break from all your worries – a place where everyone knew your name? As I was flicking around the TV last night, unable to find a single thing to enjoy, I realized how much I missed one of the best sitcoms ever – Cheers. So I threw together these 10 Classic NORM! Quotes from Cheers. Enjoy.
Sam: What’s new, Normie?
Norm: Terrorists, Sam. They’ve taken over my stomach. They’re demanding beer.
Norm: [coming in from the rain] Evening, everybody.
All: Norm!
Sam: Still pouring, Norm?
Norm: That’s funny, I was about to ask you the same thing.
Coach: “What’ll it be, Normie?”
Norm: “Just the usual Coach. I’ll have a froth of beer and a snorkel.”
Woody: Can I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson?
Norm: A little early, isn’t it Woody?
Woody: For a beer?
Norm: No, for stupid questions.
Woody: Hey, Mr. Peterson, there’s a cold one waiting for you.
Norm: I know, and if she calls, I’m not here.
Woody: Hey, Mr. Peterson, Jack Frost nipping at your nose?
Norm: Yep, now let’s get Joe Beer nipping at my liver, huh?
Woody: “What’s going on, Mr. Peterson?”
Norm: “A flashing sign in my gut that says, ‘Insert beer here.’”
Sam: “What’s the story, Norm?”
Norm: “Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer.”
Woody: “Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?”
Norm: “Alright, but stop me at one….make that one-thirty.”
Sam: “How’s life treating you Norm?”
Norm: “Like it caught me sleeping with its wife.”
Budweiser: Koning van Bieren
That would be Dutch for “King of Beers”. After many attempts, Belgian-Brazilian brewer InBev has finally been able to woo Anheuser-Busch board members who agreed to sell the company for $70 a share. The $52 billion dollar takeover makes InBev the largest brewer in the world.
I can’t help but to think a classic piece of Americana has been sold off from under our noses. Gone are the days of NASCAR, double-wides, and ice cold Buds. Get used to the new motif: Chocolate, Waffles, and luke warm Budweiser. Poor residents of St. Louis, Missouri. They must feel like the citizens of Springfield when Mr. Burns sold the Nuclear Power Plant to the Germans.
Meanwhile, InBev continues its quest for global domination one beer at a time. In addition to all Anheuser-Busch products, they are also the owners of Beck’s, Stella Artois, Bass Ale, St. Pauli Girl, Labatt, Löwenbräu, and about 295 others. Check out the entire list of beers owned by InBev. Something definitely doesn’t add up here. Most of these beers don’t suck. Maybe this is good for Budweiser after all.
