Gettin' Hammered on The Weather Channel


Beer anyone? Today we saw good ol' Norm from Cheers with Al on the WC. Remember Norm? Well Norm (George Wendt) was pushing his new book "Drinking with George: A Barstool Professional's Guide to Beer". Awesome...OK, here we go..!!

When you check out the book on-line, it tells you where to buy it, author, pages, etc. It also shows excerpts. When you check it out the first two lines they talk about how, back in Chicago in the 50's, it was customary to have your kids go fetch your beer at the tavern down the street, bring it back to your lazy ass, and ya' kept on drinking without leaving your barco-lounger. Talkin' 11 year old's here. Ok, this is the way the Irish Catholics did it, that's cool and that's not what I'm here to talk about. I love beer too.

What I am here to talk about is why the freak is the WC promoting, and interviewing, the author of a book that only has to do with beer and boozin'. What's the weather connection? This is a weather channel that we tune in to for weather, not beer. Better yet, let's lay the course to easily discover how 11 year old's were "used" in the old days to get it. I definatley wouldn't let my kids read this book, they don't even need to know about it. Guess they won't be learning about the weather from the WC anymore either. Great interview Al!

Put it on the food network.... I'm going to have a vodka seven!
