We get a lot of solicitations for blog ideas, blog posts, link requests, etc. But today, folks, we got the gem of all gems. And he’s local, from nearby Charlotte. (Oh, and the guy at top is NOT—we repeat NOT—the man in question. That guy’s just a stock image we found in our library and well, that’s just sort of how we want to imagine him.) We wrote him back and asked if he was certifiably insane. No response as of 3:30pm. [edit: As of 6:37pm this evening, we can report he claims all faculties are intact.] We just really hope he’s retired. At least. Could you drink one beer brand for the rest of your life?
