survival of the fittest

Operation Dad's Birthday.
Only thing my dad could think of for a birthday gift was a boat.. so I figured a box of beer would suffice. I went for the Bud Light Platinum (vs. his usual Bud Light) just to shake things up a bit.

So this man is my father! I wouldn't just hand him the beer and expect it to be the best of the best... I needed to know it's the best. I needed to weed out the weak. I needed to put all twelve bottles to the test.

I couldn't really come up with a better of a test than the following... While walking into my apartment building, I strategically carried 2 bags of groceries plus the box of 12 beer bottles in my left hand while trying to find my keys to my apartment in my right. The first and only necessary test to prove strength and endurance was to drop the box in the hallway. "Man Down... Man Down!" (You can determine for yourself if I actually did this on purpose or not... ) Needless to say, I was cleaning up glass from the carpet and the hallway has an aroma of "la cerveza".

After wiping off glass and beer from the survivors, I decided they needed some sort of a trophy/protection from any extra glass... I call it "the poor man's koozie". I added a little late-night humor (... sometimes my humor is only funny after midnight). I think his favorite was, "Friends are neat, and so are Buds"

Happy Bud-Day Dad - Hope it's Budtastic. Love you.
