Popular Post Gandtee Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 'The Greatest Beer Run Ever.' With film title like that and the present holier than thou's attitude, I'll be surprised if it will be allowed to be shown in Thailand. ???? 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Beer run" is going somewhere to get beer (duh), usually not just for yourself. Not going to a bar or tavern in my west coast USA experience. Common beer run when I was student at Oregon ('68-'72) was guys driving down to N California (several hrs each way) to get cases of Coors beer. US beer was pretty much <deleted> back then. I preferred wine and pot.. Beer runs can also just going to local supermarket to load up a few cases when beer runs out at a party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blew himself up for his last movie. EXTREMELY fat for the role of an everyday man that just snapped in Unhinged. sure he's taking a slow weight loss regiment to do a few everyman movies. If G2 is in works, I'm sure he'll put in the work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart12 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) The NEXT beer run is always the greatest beer run. Usually it involves 10 minutes before cut-off time to get from condo to a 7/11. Edited October 15, 2021 by Dart12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poskat Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 For a country that considers itself and its culture so amazing, they sure do go gaga over anyone with the least bit of celebrity visiting here or the most trivial use of a cultural image.
