Bud Light

I went to this place that had 50 cent Bud Lights. I was torn - it was 50 cent beer. But it was Bud Light. But it was 50 cents.

Anyhow, apparently you can now "make you mark" on Bud Light bottles with a car or house key. Someone had taken the liberty of premarking my beer by scrawling "fags" on it. Is that hilarious or a hate crime? Or just what one might expect when typical bar patrons are given a forum for expression in my town?

Plastic Owl Update

Presenting the latest in fake plastic owl technology. This hooting, spinning, glow-in-the dark motion sensor owl works by making squirrels and pigeons seem unobtrusive by comparison.

In truth, it is not obtrusive enough. Reviews at wdrake.com indicate the owl is too small, its hooting is anemic, and it tends to stop working after a few days, if what it does can be called "working."
