  • Most Interesting Man Retiring ...

    ... to Mars.

    He gave his father "the talk".
    Presidents take his birthday off.
    His signature won a Pulitzer Prize.
    His only regret is not knowing what regret feels like.



    Honestly, the best ad campaign over the last decade. Take that Progressive "Flo", Toyota "Jan", and you wannabe lizard from Geico.


    But they'll try to replace him and screw it up royally.

    Huge mistake to replace him. They should simply retire him.

    Iconic campaign, and this from someone who utterly loathes advertising. Or to put it another way I have fast forwarded through 99% of ads for the last 20 years, but I always watched those.

        Seventy-fricken'-seven years old. Just hope to live that long, let alone being the most interesting man in the world if I get there.

                      Chuck is 76, too. Darn shame, otherwise he'd be the perfect replacement.

                            Why would one drink Mexican beer?

                            Mas tequila, por favor.

                              I'd never have agreed with this but a couple weeks ago in Ithaca I had a Corzo añejo and ay Dios mia that is good.

                              The trick with Tequila is, more than any* other alcohol I have had, quality matters.

                              (* full disclosure, this is because I find whiskey, scotch and bourbon to all taste like paint thinnner, even the best stuff. YMMV.)
