Pic o the Day 66

Fresno Chris and I each bought a Friday Night 9-Game Pack for the 2009 Milwaukee Brewers season. After working 2nd shift at my "day job" during the majority of the exciting 2008 season, I decided that I was done missing games. So when Fresno suggested season tickets, I was all for it. It would give me a chance to tailgate, which is one of the greatest things about attending a game at Miller Park. On Friday May 29 (against the Cincinnati Reds), these kids next to us in the parking lot got busted by the cops for underage drinking. The cops took their beer away, and Fresno and I asked the cops what they were going to do with it. They said that they were going to dispose of it, so we jokingly asked if we could have it. And wouldn't you know, they cops said yes! So here we were with a free 30 pack of High Life/High Life Light. We had already brought some Miller Lites, and weren't planning on drinking a lot, but I had 6 extra beers just because they were free. I imagined Wendell "The High Life Delivery Gut" Middlebrooks doing a High Life commercial, taking away the beers from the underage kids and saying something like, "the High Life is for hard-working adults aged 21 and over. Underage drinking is illegal in the United States. You just lost your High Life privileges." Then he turns to me and Fresno, "you look like people who are responsible enough to enjoy the High Life, now let me see some I.D." Then we present him with our driver's licenses, "that's what I thought. These men are old enough to be living the High Life. Underage kids drinking this beer - y'all must be crazy." End scene. Now that's a commercial that I definitely would enjoy seeing on TV. Maybe I should go pitch that idea to the Miller Brewing Company. It's humorous, but it also has a good message behind it. But I guess that I wouldn't be able to be a part of the commercial because I broke the law by giving the kids back their 30 pack, minus 6 beers of course. It was bad enough that they had to pay the underage drinking tickets, but I didn't want them to miss out on their beer as well. You need something to drown your sorrows while you watch your money disappear. So I got free beer, got drunk, and the Brewers ended up beating the Reds by a score of 3-2. So in the end, it was one very memorable night, and I owe it all to the High Life. There's a reason it's called the Champagne of Beers.
