On communication, professional and otherwise.

Questions in anticipation of an afternoon backyard BBQ

06.11.2015 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Who was the first American to call a can of beer a "bad boy"?

And why are only cans of cheap beer called "bad boys"? Good beer isn't good enough to be "bad"?

Shouldn't a can of Stella be called a "bad girl"?

If cans of beer are "bad boys," are "tall boy" cans "bad men"?

Why hasn't someone come up with Bad Boy Beer? Oh.

And why—and how?—is it still somehow slightly funny when somebody says, "Hand me another one of those bad boys, willya?"
