Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Olympic Athletes, Don't Drink This Beer!


Brewdog is a Scottish punkster craft brewery with a wicked sense of humor. They're known for expensive, high-alcohol beers and ales with smart-alecky names. (See Buster's archives for the Brewdog post of 8/3/10, "Does PETA Know About This?")

Their latest offering is a good-natured tweak of the Olympic Games strict drug-screening protocols, conducted while simultaneously sucking up to corporate sponsors like McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Coca Cola. They call their new beer "Never Mind The Anabolics", and it's made with small portions of the following, any of which could cause an athlete to fail a drug test:

Creatine
Guarana
Lycii Berries
Kola Nut
Gingko
Matcha Tea
Maca Powder
Steroids


Yup, genuine good old-fashioned, muscle-building, rage-inducing, testicle-shrinking steroids. Dee-licious! Now you can drink a beer, then lift the truck that delivered it.
