Dear FML:
In response to the observation about the beer commercial for Rolling Rock -
which by the way I found to be a delightful libation (when I lived in the
States). The beer was originally brewed on the site of a breeding farm for
standardbreds (those are the horses that pull little carts in races) and a
very famous sire at that site was a stud called Old Latrobe (not sure of
the spelling). If you look on the bottle or can that is his picture. He
apparently was a great race horse and a very proficient producer of
off-spring so in his honour they graced the bottle with his effigy.
Now the picture that comes to mind is a group of ferrets dragging ferret
size sulkies and racing through tubes to the cheering of thousands in the
stands. Pass me a beer and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Lynn (up here in Canada with only Canadian beer to consume)
