Good Buddy JOW #1178

 

Bud Light recently created a controversy with their recent ad campaign.  If you are not familiar with the brand, think of it as mildly alcoholic, beer-flavored water.  They had a very swishy trans activist promoting their beer.  This should have been relatively innocuous, Bud Light has been a favorite of the gay bar scene dating back to the Coors boycott days, but the oh-so-elitist marking VP behind the campaign went on a pod cast disparaging Bud light drinkers using phrases like ‘frat boys’.  Obviously she did not understand who actually consumes most of her beer.  Her efforts to market Bud Light have been likened to the disastrous New Coke ads a few decades back. Backlash to her attempts to market her product to a more ‘enlightened’ market segment has resulted in a plunge in Bud Light sales.  Add this advertising misstep to the fact that Bud Light really is bad ‘beer’ and you get some good fodder for jokes and memes.  Just to be clear, I have do not have a problem with the LG HDTV community; just this silly marketing ploy by a self-righteous, virtue-casting, advertising VP.

Did you hear that New Coke and Bud Light are working together on a new drink?
It’s quite an ambitious colabeeration.

Actually, Bud Light has always been trans.  It’s water that identifies as beer.

Want to know how Bud Light Seltzer was invented?
They added the word “Seltzer”.

How long does it take a drunk person to walk nine blocks?
One Bud light year.

What do you call a drunk astronaut?
Bud-light-beer.

Two blind men walk into a bar.
The first orders a scotch, and the second orders a whisky.
“For the last time, gentlemen,” says the exasperated nurse, “this is a hospital and you are both drunk. We do not serve alcohol here!”
“Alright, Bud Light then,” says the first man.

A man gets pulled over by a cop.
“Sir, have you drunk any alcohol tonight?”
“I havd three or four Bud lights.” He replied in slurred speech.
“I said alcohol, not simulated cat urine.”

I used to think I was fat but now I identify as trans-slender.

 

Although I was born visible I now identify as invisible.  I am trans-parent.  My pronouns are who/where.

Everyone says they appreciate your honesty until you are honest with them.  Then you’re an asshole.

Mother daughter exchange.

Daughter – You are invading my personal space.

Mom – You came *out* of my personal space.

Daughter – Please submit all complaints to the original manufacturer.

Woke country songs.

·         I got friends in privileged places

·         All my exes changed their sexes

·         Stand by your non-menstruating person

·         I am a man of constant mask wearing

·         Science take the wheel

·         I’m so cancelled I could cry

American ladder makers are having to increase the length between rungs of ladders because people are getting taller.  Some call it ‘climb it change.’

Before social media was around, all those stupid ideas and opinions just stayed in someone’s head.  And can you imagine back in the 80’s taking a picture of what you were eating, going to the drug store to get it developed, than have copies of the picture made, and then knock on people’s doors to give them the pictures?  Nope, neither can I.

 

And on the Alex Baldwin front.  After making the movie ‘Rust’ he will be starring in ‘Prop Gun’

 

The late genius Alan Turing has a sister who went into providing meals for people at gatherings.  She was known as Kate Turing.  (Say it out loud)

The fact that some people can’t distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can’t put into words.

 

Some animal humor

 

Before we invented crow bars crows had to drink at home alone.

 

Induction: the act of inserting a duck

Deduction: the act of removing a duck

Reduction: replacing a worn out duck with a replacement duck

 

Digger– “I’ve been bitten by this snake!”

Paul –“Oh, no.  That snake is deadly poisonous.  You will die 20 minutes after he bites you.”

Digger – “Then let him bite me again.”
Paul – “What?”

Digger – “So I can get another 20 minutes.”

 

Do beavers look at stream running down an open meadow and think ‘absolutely not.’?

 

If a dog breaks a mirror is that 49 years bad luck?

 

If you are looking for a bargain, consider deer balls.  They are under a buck.

 

Which reminds me:

From the emergency room:  Dyson Ball Cleaner is a dangerously misleading product name.

 

In conclusion

A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him out leaving him at the park. As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway. The next day he decided to drive the cat 10 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home. Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat! At last he decided to drive miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.

Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?"

"Yes", the wife answers, "why do you ask?"

Frustrated, the man answered, "Put the cat on the phone, I'm lost and need directions.”
