Kev I wrote this one under our new policy of "spend no more than 30 minutes on any review." I think it's pretty obvious. Also I stole "keep up with me now" from Brick which I finally just broke down and bought for $14 at Circuit Shittay.
Good job pulling a "review" out of such disparate elements. Let my comment be the first of at least 10 we'll get asking to see a picture of said Sierra Mist billboard.
See above comment for said request.
Josh tells me stories about the billboards he sees on his way to work. He speaks of them like they're old friends. He points out billboards of interest. I think he's cultivating an expertise, and I wish he'd focus a little more on driving.
There's a billboard on our commute showing two white-gloved, bejeweled hands linked at the pinky, like the person is making a shadow animal swan? The tagline is: "on the wings of love" and I swear to God he waits for it, he looks for it, and he bursts into song every morning. And I'm talking Luciano Pavarotti, here.
I like Cel-Ray. If all you want is sweet sugary cola-ness or overused flavors like lemon-lime, keep away. But every so often I want something completely different and that's where the "gross" drinks like Cel-Ray and Moxie and soda water with bitters come in. Black cherry is better though.
I got a good one last night on my cellphone — pulled over on the side of the road in the rain and everything. B-b-but I don't know how to get it off my cellphone. I can't email it or connect it to my computer or anything! All I can do is send it to someone else's phone. Somebody help.
If you send it to my phone, I can send it to my email, and then put it on the internet. This is exactly how Tesla predicted this sort of thing would be done.
Yay, technology. OK I added the photo to the post. Although now that I look at it closely, I realize that the guy isn't bisecting the bottle, but rather chainsawing it OUT OF THE BILLBOARD ITSELF, revealing the sky behind. My oeil was totally trompe'd. And my whole one-act play is pretty off-target at this point. As usual.
Someone should write a movie about how we really worked together to overcome technological adversity and get that picture posted to our weblog. Bidding for the rights starts at a cool mil.
Actually I've had a pretty awesome mixed drink with Cel-ray. Hendrick's, Pimm's No. 1, fresh squeezed lime juice and Cel-ray with cucumbers. It's awesome.
I'm quite proud of you both.
… which leads me to believe that your first interpretation of the billboard was more accurate than the second … hmm!
Okay, so I've never commented here, much preferring to lurk around in the shadows for the last year and a half or so. But finally, I just can't take it anymore. You guys don't update nearly enough, or you do it in huge spurts (I thought about that questionable phrasing but decided to let it ride, because that's the way I roll). Don't get me wrong. I'm cool with that. I get that you have like… lives, or whatev. But is there any way possible to get an email update whenever there is a new post? Sometimes I'll come back here numerous times only to see that it's the same damn hilarious post that I've already read, well… numerous times. And then others, I'll get fed up with checking back or just forget about you slackers and then suddenly I've got like 4 or 10 to catch up on. And then it feels like *work*. Either way is not so much fun. Okay, the latter is more fun than the former, but you hear me, I think. So what about it? Is there some little magical sign-up form that I'm totally missing, or are all of your fans and lurkers alike expected to just be at your beck and call whenever you get around to keeping us in the know on new beverage technology?
Josh: you are completely nuts.
Beseeching the historical nature of this drink, consider at very least the basic construction of Cel-Ray — celery, sugar, soda water. Cleanliness. It blasts through armies of muddy cola like a vegetal spear. Only cucumber would be better (and might make a better Pimm's Cup!). I love Cel-Ray.
