In an unprecedented move, and at the urging of the struggling former US beer maker Anheuser Busch, the United State’s Government has declared war on Mexican beer brewers. NASA, in collaboration with NOAA, launched hurricane “BUD” this week with its intended target Mazatlan, home of brewer “Pacifico,” which is currently claiming market share from Budweiser. As of this writing, the guidance system has failed and landfall is projected to be closer to Puerto Vallarta. No brewers are threatened. InBev, the Belgian/Brazilian conglomerate that owns Anheuser Busch denies any knowledge of the hostile action.

Never mess with Texas Never mess with BUD Since Mexico never learns We’re sending you a flood To wipe out all your brewers Who compete with our fine suds We will go to any length To limit consumer choice to BUDs We know your beer is better And it has a cheaper price This is simple economics And we’re not playing nice Consider this our first attempt To wipe out your beer cartel We’re gonna’ nip it in the BUD You’ll have no more beer to sell Tell Montezuma to pound sand His revenge he cannot plead For the second time in 500 years He’s been plucked by foreign greed Copyright © 2012 Patrick Granfors

Not a beer drinker myself...*Patrick*
I do enjoy my wine though; however, I
support any cause to exalt the USA!!!

I guess one might call me some kind of a traitor, but I'm into Corona. Although, really, vodka/tonic is more my kind'a stuff.

Perhaps their aim was off because they were too intoxicated!
I'm partial to German beer myself, the bitter the better.
do you like the soda lemon bitter? quinine in that stuff. Lemon bitters. I like stuff that's not so sweet.
I'm so grateful when you keep me up on the news! Thank you thank you...

Just don't let any storm screw with Mexicos weed growing abilities...since I don't drink at all anymore, I could care less what happens to beer...any beer, from anywhere...;-)e

I've been a Bud man for a good many years, even wrote a poem about it a spell back, titled A BUDDY: The last verse finished up like this:
“A REAL GOOD BUDDY” might not turn you into an alcoholic, but it won’t be from lack a tryin. - - - Why do ya think they call it BUD...weiser?

So, you cain't convert me to some cheap ol Mexican brew without a fight, good Buddy. Dick
