bombed

Every now again, I get a reminder that I'm not quite living in the same world everyone else around me is. A friend took me to a mead tasting at Celestial Meads the other day*. Anyhow, so someone mentions some kind of beer, and I relate the cleverest ad phrase I've seen in ages, thanks to friend Peter. To wit -





*crickets*

"No, see, it's funny because...
[Battle of Britain, blah blah blah]"

*somewhat more bored crickets and humoring smiles.*


Right.... I'll just be off in the corner then.


The appley mead was awesome, by the way.

And the Wicked Tinkers we went to see after? Oh, not that was cool. The whole "tribal fusion Celtic" thing is just a fascinating genre. And I can't recall the last time I saw that much raw testosterone pouring off a stage.

Nice. :)
















=================
* awesomely nummy stuff by the way. Highly recommended. Miss D could give recommendations with a finer palette than mine though. I just know they're almost all nummy and if I have more than a glass or two it's time to go sleep in the corner. :)

"... just like the Luftwaffe."

That's fantastic! You'll get no crickets from MY corner ... I think it's brilliant.

That is awesome. I suspect that's one ad campaign that won't bomb, at least with its target audience!

"Bottle of Britain" in the lower right hand corner - classic!
