Duct Tape Bandit

God bless Yahoo News. Kasey G. Kazee, of Ashland, KY, has been accused of being the “Duct Tape Bandit”. What is the “Duct Tape Bandit” you ask? Well, of course it’s a man who wraps his head in Duct Tape and robs liquor stores. Why would one wrap their entire head in Duct Tape you ask? Simply put, because they reside below the mason-dixon line. Kazee was of course caught and beaten, here’s where Yahoo News runs with it:

Shamrock Liquors store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own, but his was wrapped around a wooden club that sent the robber fleeing, according to a report by WSAZ-TV in Huntington, WV.

Store employee Craig Miller said he chased the man to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke hold until police arrived. A customer also helped, police said.

Brilliant…  Bottle to Throttle.

Best Football Movie.

Last night I watched All The Right Moves, the best football movie ever made. Here’s the summary from Wikipedia:

When you live in a dying mill town, the only way to move up in the world is to move out. In Ampipe, Pennsylvania, that’s exactly what a lot of people are trying desperately to do. But it’s not an easy task. Because today, getting ahead takes ALL THE RIGHT MOVES. Tom Cruise heads a brilliant cast of characters making moves—right and wrong—to buy themselves a brighter future: There’s Craig T. Nelson as a high school football coach fighting to parlay a winning team into a big-time position—away from the town he despises. There are the team members themselves, young and bright, competing to win a game bigger than football, the game of life. And no one plays the game harder than Stef (Tom Cruise). Finally, there’s Lea Thompson, the girl Stef comes to love, a young woman with her own dream of escape. Together, they successfully capture the high spirits, the fantasy, and the agony of growing up in America.

Not only is this the best Football Movie ever, the trailer contains the best piece of narration in movie history.

Classic.

Anatomy of The Beerman.

Anatomy of The Beerman.

The man in the photograph above was my Beerman last night and it was my privilege to sit in his section.  He was the absolute professional; as you can tell by his attire.  This Beerman was equipped for any situation, if a play was occurring behind him he could go to one knee in a split second.  If he for some reason was required to dive out of the isle he could brace himself with his right wrist knowing full well it was ready for the task at hand.  If for some reason at the last moment he needed to clear a way out of  section 124 he could do so with his ‘Macgyver’ like shoulder pad.

This was my Beerman.
