    Having a toxic relationship weekend.

    Lots of strange shit happening with a couple of old friends, so I opt to stay away from their respective psychoses.

    Instead, I head to nearby - and usually blissfully quiet - Irish pub for a black-and-tan and dinner.

    And WTF happens?

    In walks the African-American guy in the Miller High Life TV commercials who repossess beer from yuppie bars.

    He demands a case of High Life from the bartender and starts handing out free beer to the whole bar, except for me, who's drinking a black-and-tan. ???

    You can't make this shit up.

    And even if you could, why would you?

    Exactly how many black-and-tans did you have before you "saw" this?

    So, you're the only person who didn't get a beer? Surely you weren't the only one who already had a beer on the bar. The guy was just offended that you were drinking a black-and-tan? Now, that IS weird.

    If I were there, I'd buy you one ... being tossed into a toxic relationship dynamic sucks. Being in the middle of them - no matter the type of relationship - isn't much fun, either.

    I'm sure someone here who doesn't like Miller will say your current drink of choice is far superior. I can't exactly speak from experience.

    Fits with the whole schtik. The guy should have been at some dive bar.

    In a few moments, a guy will walk in replacing the Millers with Schlitz.

    Or Schaefer Light. Or maybe even PBR.

    It must have been your ostrich burger. That's not a burger, that's a bird.

    Perhaps he was offended that Lono was drinking a black-and-tan in an Irish pub.

    A victory for America and Miller drinkers everywhere! Take that, fancy-beer-drinking posers. :)

    I'd be offended by somebody drinking a High Life in an Irish pub. Order a Guinness! Or at least a Harp.
