P.S. There's a few funny Magoo/Stag commercials on YouTube. top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-80939435486580458762020-12-31T18:12:20.075-06:002020-12-31T18:12:20.075-06:00i like how they make sure STAG BEER is mentioned o...i like how they make sure STAG BEER is mentioned often and that STAG BEER is always in all caps, at least for the first several pages. subtle! i don't think i've ever tried STAG BEER, but it sounds like Miller to me. happy new year -- bring on 2021, and good riddance 2020!FrankOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316107158387079660noreply@blogger.com
