{242} beer snake

the beer snake is synomomous with the winnipeg blue bombers. on july 9, 2010 it started in section "s" when everyone started stacking their beer cups together and it formed this massive snake. it was hilarious to watch from across the stadium.

of course, it was not hilarious for the folks who had beer dumped on them and cups thrown at their heads and so the beer snake was banned after that one eventful night. but, none of us who were there will ever forget it. so, my name is a beer snake in honour of that game. :)

{144} beer caps

i created this name at 1:00 a.m. this morning and used my iPhone to snap each picture individually. though not a beer drinker myself, i relied on andrew, erin and steve to keep drinking in order that i could get enough caps (unfortunately, not enough beer was consumed for me to spell out my entire name using beer caps in one shot so i had to do each letter separately).

these three people are total beer experts. i sit there  nodding my head like i have any idea what they're talking about. they keep asking me to smell the beer. i say i don't want to. they say to tell them what i smell. i say i smell beer. they say that's not possible. i say it is. beer is beer to a non-beer drinker, i say. they say not all beer is really beer. i say i'm going to give all their beers zeros on ratebeer.com.
