Today is the 75th Anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition in America. I thought this brief clip might be apropos....

I hope nobody ever tells him he could just have put the fridge next to the couch.

On some perverse level, this appeals to me.

That's a great example of good old American ingenuity. That guy snagged that beer so casually...great clip.
Maybe that's part of why this country's in the shitter..guys like that should be working for GM or the not so big "three".

Needs a slight modification to fling Sam Adams bottles. But I'm on board.

Has anybody considered the potential for 'collateral damage' should you miss the catch?
It would certainly make for some amusing insurance claims! :-)

Too bad we don't see him actually open the can.
Well, anyway, that models seems (at least in the current implementation) unpractical for a glass of wine, so I guess this doesn't fulfill all the criterias of a great step forward for mankind...
And BTW, that reminds me of a Z-series film I saw a few years ago :

But I won't spoil it for those who didn't see it, so the best is to see it for yourself ;o).
