Couldn't be. No self-respecting redneck would drink Coors and there ain't no
bullet holes, neither.

Interesting tidbit about "Smokey & The Bandit": the premise was that
they were making a run from Atlanta to Texarkana for a truckload of
Coors, because Coors wasn't available east of Texas.
The only thing is, it wasn't available in Texarkana, either.
Bowie County (Texarkana, Texas) is dry. You can't buy alcohol except in
a private club, and because it's a dry county, there are no
distributers (it's all "imported" from a wet county elsewhere in
Texas). Miller County (Texarkana, Arkansas) is wet -- but it's in
Arkansas. No Coors back then!
Oh, and the bit about making the return route by way of Fayetteville
was a real side-splitter for those of us in Arkansas. (Hint: you can't
get there from here!)

That hitler quote has been _widely_ discredited, and you do our point
of view no good at all by using something proven false. Please stop
using a false quote, you're not helping.

Johnny Paycheck used to call it Colorado Kool Aid. If you ever saw
where they get that "Rocky Mountain spring water" you would never
touch Coors again.

Reminds me of a buddy who worked a summer at a Howard Johnson's restaurant
about his first year at college. Pete always said afterwards if you'd ever
worked there, you never again ate there.
I never worked there, but I didn't eat in a Hojo's for over 30 years because of
his descriptions.

You're right, but his wife would crochet the Coors cans into a "gimme" style
cap, for sure.

Not in this century. Back when I was younger, and you had to drive
half way across the country to get it, it was a bit of a status
symbol amoung the redneck dudes (back in the "Smokey & the Bandit"
days).

Of course, those of us in Fla knew the whole thing was filmed on I10
in the Fla Panhandle (just a tad east of where the bridge is, that
Hurricane Ivan washed away). I10 was then not quite completed, and
there were long stretches which were paved but not connected to
anything.

Yes, I was stationed in Charleston, SC when Piggly Wiggley was exporting
Coors to Mexico, inporting it to the US, paying taxes on both border
crossings, and selling it for $4.99 a sixpack. At the time most domestics
were less than $2 a sixpack, with a few under a buck.

I lived out in Boulder for a bit during the seventies and made the
pilgrimage down to Golden to see how old Joe brewed his stuff.
It was a damned nice tour and they made the point more than once that
the water was cleaner when it left the plant than it was when it came
in.
It made me wonder why they didn't start brewing with the outflow,
rather than the inflow.
But then, my wife has always said that I'm a suspicious sort.
Regards,
Tom.

Having to make up stuff is often a sign of having no arguments that stand on
their own.
