Have you seen the new Starbuck's commercial? It features the members of Survivor (yes, that Survivor) singing a version of 'Eye of the Tiger' but with new words. Even if you've seen the commercial, you need to go to this link and watch the full 60 second version, as some stations are only running the 30 second version. It requires quicktime, click on the "download starbuck-nometa.mov (4.1 meg)" link and it should appear, oh, and it goes without saying you need sound.
It is cute - and I had no idea that it was actually the real band. How low can one sink? Or are they not above spoofing themselves for a little cash.Â
They're either really hip and able to laugh at themselves, or really desperate with no self-esteem left to care about.
But seriously, I don't know why it would taste metallic. That's not normal for beer. I've had Coors before and not noticed that. From what I find on-line, metallic tastes can come from a range of sources, including the iron content of the brewing equipment, organic compounds formed by hydrolysis of cereal lipids in the grains, oxidation of free fatty acids and water with a high iron content. But I would expect that Coors has enough quality control to avoid all that.
The bottles could have been stored laying down...and the caps could have done that......
I've had that taste before with other bottled beer in the past......
I often wonder how many times I've "tossed" beer away with just the IDEA that its going to be "bad" ...either being skunky, tin-y, or even just old.
I get something in my head that it would be bad and I just throw them away...heck one time I brought over 3 cases of beer to my old fraternity house and told the guys here you drink it......(I left 3 cases of beer out in the sun for 3 days).
I've throw a few away on bad batches I've made......and I've tossed some bad crap I've bought....thinking I'd like it.... (like any time I buy LIGHT BEER)
My sphere is Soldier (Unity in Strength and Action), and my class is Arms Master (Pragmatic and Stout).
I am a Fighter.
To carry the title of "Fighter" is to carry great strength, and courage. You are a very practical person. When life offers you a challenge, you meet it head on and plow straight through it, stopping only afterwards to worry about injury and stress. These challenges that you endure may leave scars, but they will also leave you with trusted friends, and will make you all the more determined for it.
My sphere is Knight (Know Loyalty and Respect), and my class is Defender (Peaceful, yet Potent).
I am a Retainer.
To be a Retainer is to be the ultimate Knight. When the kings of old were threatened, or faced with any obstacle of special note, it was the Retainer they called upon to act in the liege's name. To be an excellent Retainer is to bring great honor to yourself and those you work for, while instilling happiness and security in the people around you.
Okay, what about the new editing tools posting thingy won't just let me cut and paste html from these silly quizzes anymore? Anyone? Am I just being cataclysmically ignorant again?
You have qualities associated with more than one type of Warrior. That's okay -- read the descriptions below and decide how you feel about each one, then choose one (or a couple) that feels "right".
My sphere is Knight (Know Loyalty and Respect), and my class is Arms Master (Pragmatic and Stout).
I am an Advisor.
Your great sense of ethics and honor, as well as your practical knowledge of the world, makes you an excellent advisor and confidant to the people who are respectful of your ways, and to whom you will show respect in return. Liu Bei, the well-meaning King of the ancient Shu kingdom in China, was not famous for his own accomplishments, but for the excellent quality of his generals, and the brilliance of his advisor of special repute, Zhuge Liang.
My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Arms Master (Pragmatic and Stout).
I am a Guard.
You are a true, versatile guard. You have a defensive nature, that is, you are good at instilling a sense of security in the places around you. A strong presence weakens any possible threats around you, and a swift, practical approach to the problems that crop up puts them down before they can get out of hand.
On the first day, I got a call from Morgan's kindergarten teacher. The story is that the school bus was slightly late getting to school so her class had already gone inside (they were all to meet in front of the building). So Emma and Morgan went wandering into school all on their own. Someone helped them find their way to class, and all is good. But, at lunchtime, Morgan's backpack and lunch is nowhere to be found. Morgan said she put it in her locker, but after checking all the lockers for the class it was still not found. The teacher set Morgan up with a hot lunch from the cafeteria, and said Morgan was pretty unfazed by the whole thing.Â
Later in the afternoon, one of the fourth grade teachers from another part of the building brought the backpack down. Apparantly Morgan just stuffed it into the first locker she saw when she got into the building.

You know the value of respect, in every glorious, practical, and humble sense of the word. You know whom you respect. You know what it means to defend and uphold respect. Although the boss can and will call on anyone to get a job done, the boss knows he can call on you when there's a delicate situation, or when someone needs to get their hands dirty. You hold a special place in their heart for your willingness in this regard, as well as a special place in the toes of the people you might step on in securing the respect your boss deserves.
Ok so it's 70% wrong, not 90%.
<blows raspberries>
Probably 60%. I left the condom statement alone, but...
If I time for fighting, I'd invite you over to my jello-filled hottub.
Just a warning - jello plays hell with the blower motor.
Yeah well, you'd know.
<grins>
There's always room for jello.
Yeah well, you'd know.
He would? Sounds like campfire fodder...
Cannot wait for a campfire. And maybe some bacon procured from a local butcher shop.
Not Von Helsing's Meats?
Maybe we'll take some of that for a backup.Â

"Glen's the man, going to work
Got his tie, got ambition
Middle management is right in his grasp
Its a dream he will never let die!!!!!"

I'm voting for no self esteem. You can see the lead singer's man-boobs through his silky purple shirt.
So my mother left some Coors Original in bottles in my fridge and I had one last night.
What would make it taste metallic? Surely it's not supposed to. I'm not a fan of Coors to start with, but like sex, any beer is better than no beer.
Metallic? Maybe you've got a filling coming loose?
Nope, I have all new dental work courtesy of Dr Mengele in Colombia. All porcelain and gold.
<smiles expensive smile>
Look in the bottle, maybe one of the brewery workers dropped a bolt in there?
When I die of lead poisoning or something, there better be a big keg party.

Â
Could be me, I guess. I had pasta with a lot of garlic for dinner.
I've thrown away beer when it froze.Â
I don't think I've ever thrown away beer.
It doesn't last long enough to freeze or warm.
I've throw a few away on bad batches I've made......and I've tossed some bad crap I've bought....thinking I'd like it.... (like any time I buy LIGHT BEER)
I'm a victom of marketing....(damn hot women).
Living in MN, sooner or later you will have some beer freeze.
See, I solve that problem by NOT living in MN.
Heeheehee.
Yeah, but eventually we all know you WILL visit MN. >:)
Do hush, you'll give away my secret plan.
Same plan you have every night, Pinky? Try to take over the world?
