Stereotype Me: Partying Dudes
Categories: Sterotype Me
Written By: THFBeer_nate
This is our third attempt to do the uncouth: intentionally stereotype, our first attempt was a tad fun. You see, in a past post we discussed stereotypes a bit in a nonjudgmental and humorous attitude. It occurred to those who participated in the discussion that it might be fun to take to higher, beer level, since for the most part, the posts on this blog lean toward the rote information.
So occasionally, we will post a picture of an individual(s) and as our readers to do that which are politically-correct-obsessed society detests…stereotype the face(s) associated with the post. What do they drink? Why do they drink it? Where do they drink it? Where do they buy their clothes?…the sky is the limit. Just try to be nice. We here at Thank Heaven For Beer don’t mean to offend…in fact, eventually our own mugshots will be the face to be stereotyped. We applaud diversity (as long is it walks, talks, looks, and smells like us) just as we do sarcastic humor.
With out further ado…stereotype these partying dudes:

Oh my. Is that a cassette tape storage attache case on the floor? To me, it seems like these guys are either in a brotherly embrace, or they are arm wrestling in a completely unorthodox manner and stopped to photograph the moment of stalemate.
Its hard to judge looks based on the times – what was this 1988? That’s how people looked. What IS funny is when you see people TODAY who are stuck in 1988! But to answer the beer question I’m going to go with the sure bet – BUD!
Not sure if they are even old enough to buy. I’m thinking the dude on the left has an older brother or cousin who buys for him and he give is to his arm-wrestling pal on the right.
Playing this scene forward some, I think as the stalemate continues, these bud-fueled guys go to a full embrace that lasts a little too long for most people’s comfort. There might be some whispering into each other’s ears about “you’re my bro man!” and “your jacket leather is a little irritating on my skin man”, but I’m just guessing. Anything is possible in 1988.

With the “Back to the Future” vehicle in the back ground, I’m going to say that these guys went the future by putting their Bartel & James wine coolers into the flux capacitor. Having gone to the future and seeing beers like Tactical Nuclear Penguin, and assuming that they strayed into Reagan’s worst fears from the Cold War, they retired back to the 80s to listen to Megadeath and drink their fair share of Gold Schlager. After all, look at the jacket. You know they loved Knight Rider and David Hasselhoff.

Oh no, well before 1988…that’s a Delorean in the picture in the background. They were hot for a few years in the late 70’s until they went under in 1982. You can also just barely make out the album cover art in the background for Pink Floyd’s The Wall, which came out in 1979.
Combine that with the slightly feathered hair-do of the gentleman on the left, slowly fading out of style in the late 70’s, and I’m guessing 1980.

OK, you’ve missed the obvious. That is a cassette attache, however on top of the attache is an album cover. Looks like Eric Clapton’s Cocaine, and is that a real line of coke on the cover, or is that album art? Hard to tell in a 2 dimensional picture, but if it is real, these dudes are hardcore man! I’m guessing the jacket is a member’s only vinyl leather look alike that probably makes his pits sweat like the guy on the degree deodorant commercial!
And these dudes are definitely “Back to the Future” with that really cool pic of the Delorian that is framed in cheap oak!
As to beer, Bud is so obvious that I’m going to go in a different direction These guys have an east coast look to them and I’ll bet that the camera angle is just wrong angle to see their fertility horn golden necklasses. I’m going to say they stole their Dad’s Schmidts out of the garage fridge before they hopped into their 69 camaro with the bondo and primer to go cruise for HS chicks at the spring dance!

I was actually going to mention that one of these guys died from being coked out. Funny stuff, Don.

These “bad-fueled guys” (as Scott put it) definitely got into mom’s powered sugar to emulate a line of coke for this bad ass shot. They utilized cutting edge technology: a camera timer.
Calling the beer is tough: Could be bud, or Schmidts. Either way, it was cheap (craft brewing had burgeoned) and it was stolen from dad’s fridge in the garage.
What I do know is that after each can (and it WAS canned beer) an obligatory deep belch was bellowed, followed by a fierce declaration, such as “Toasted” uttered with a deeper than normal and growling tone. The dude would then hold the can mightily in the air and crush the can with one hand in a demonstration of strength. With intentional carelessness the can was then tossed over the shoulder, destination being anywhere but the garbage can.

Clearly Old Milwaukee in their dad’s basement (their mom left them when they were kids). They’re brothers… and bros! They’ve been pumpin’ a lot of iron lately to some Van Halen and now it’s time to show off how RIPPED they’ve become!

They’re a couple of PBR guys. One has an ‘85 camaro and the other has a Firebird. Also, the are both frequent features on mulletsgalore.com. Whitesnake and Ratt are in their cassettes.

Since it’s an older picture, why not an older beer? Olympia is my bet! I’ve actually seen the guy on the left recently, still has the haircut, mustache, and muscle tee; you can find him at your local Walmart.

I’ve seen him at Walmart before. I think it’s his 1985 Fire Bird in the parking lot.

The first thought that comes to mind is HAMM’S!
From the Land of Sky Blue Waters,
From the land of pines’ lofty balsams,
Comes the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Brewed where nature works her wonders,
Aged for many moons, gently mellowed,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
From across the rippling water,
Through the whisp’ring pines and birches,
Comes the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Comes a call to cool enchantment,
Comes a call to cool refreshment,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Hints of lakes and sunset breezes,
Dance and sparkle in each glassful,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing,
Hamm’s the beer refreshing.
Ok, I am done re-living my youth….

It sounded like if they said it was refreshing enough times, people would believe it. Thanks for sharing the Hamm’s incantation.
