Sticking It To The Man

I’ve been trying-out a new way to walk the dog. I ride – she walks.

You’d think that riding a mountain bike would be easy. No so much though. You see the grass is just high enough to offer steady resistance that never allows you to conveniently shift out of that granny gear. It’s actually a pretty good workout.

For me and the dog.

Today was a shitty day – on a couple of different levels.

First-off, Girlfriend was naughty and ran-off into the woods and wouldn’t immediately return when summoned.

What was the attraction?

Some really slimy green critter shit that she just had to roll in. I haven’t a clue who left the deposit but the dog finally returned covered in the stuff.

Blech.

See this beer?

This is a refreshing bottle of Road Dog Porter from Flying Dog Brewery.

So what. Big deal.

The deal is if you read the label you might note that it has an awesome quote from Hunter S. Thompson.

Good people drink good beer.

Not too long before he died I had an opportunity to see the Gonzo Journalist at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. It was both surreal and worth it. But that would be another story.

Anyway - the Flying Dog label goes on to explain that this is - Good Beer - No Shit.

That sure is plain spoken. Can you really print that on a beer label?

I guess you can.

If you read the label further it goes on to say the following-

We spent four long years in court fighting for our first amendment right to display the phrase "Good beer, No shit" on every bottle of Road Dog. In honor of sticking it to the man...

This shit is some dark, rich and malty shit. The best shit you'll ever try and that's no bullshit.
