Hobies in TV Commercials

Anyone seen the Budwieser Select commercial with the aerial shot (albeit few seconds) of the double trapped Tiger?

Been a while since a fiberglass Hobie was in a commercial.

I saw the ad the other day. It was a real brief clip so I could not tell the make of the boat. It looked like a modern cat for sure.

You can see the add on www.budselect.com it's "summer night".

That is cool that they showed the boat but I don't think it is a tiger!

Anybody see the American Chopper "austrialia 1" episode? The guys did a bunch of things in Austrialia, including trapezing out on a cat.. think it was a nacra 36 or something like that.. was pretty big.

Man that song is annoying.

More annoying then the required gig of memory to even practically load the site?

As a web-dev I'm all about online eye candy, but holy hell, that site about killed my old 900 mhz 512 ram test machine.

hahaha

That's quite a test machine you've got there!

Yes, the whole site is annoying. Especially the shadow people talking to me. Oh, and the whole thing with trying to make Budwieser Select a high end beer... hahaha

I'll take a Bells over a budweiser anyday. home brew preferred!

Yes, I'm a beer snob.

Interesting, I'm a home-brewer myself...and for that matter, 90 schilling is my favorite commercial beer these days. I wasn't a bit surprised to find a couple other sailors in my mid-western brew club, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find a few brewers on the sailing board I frequent either.

I'm not a brewer myself... though I'd like to someday. I have a friend that brews a nice variety of beers. Every year he has a party at his place where he shares it with everyone... it's delicious, and potent! My favorite is his pumpkin brew.

I was home brewing a lot in 5 gallon batches. I built a keg fridge that could hold 4 five gallon ponies and a commercial 15.5 (for those non-beer drinkers that want a Bud Light). Then my compressor on it went out, and now I have stale beer and stopped brewing. Poor, poor me.

Anyone have a freezer chest they want to sell for $100 that I could convert?

Oh man, that is a drag. I would think your beer could be salvaged though. As long as it still has CO2 piped too it and isn't in the sunlight.

I've put up about 120 gallons so far this year. I have around another 100 to go this year before I reach my mandated limit. I do 10 or 20 gallon batches that I store up in 5 gallon kegs. I just finished up my summer brews with a tasty kolsch I can't wait to dive into. On Sunday I'm going to start my fall brews.

Currently I have Honey Amber, Hard Cider, and Root Beer on tap, although the cider is about to get swapped with a German Pils this weekend. I need to figure out a way to make my beer more portable though. I'm working on a 1.5 gal keg set up for coolers, but the job is beyond my modest metal working skills. Those little ink kegs printing shops use are perfect if you can figure out a way to use the regular ball-lock connectors. I know it can be done, I just don't know how they do it yet.

As he said, he's a webdev.. meaning his test box should look something like the "average users" pc... so a 900/512 box is probably a good margin to live by for webdev testing.

Not everyone rocks quad cores.

Yeah, if it runs on ole' Betsy, it will run on about anything is my approach.

aaaah I see. I never really thought of that.

I've got a 300mhz Pentium II Compaq laptop at home, rockin 256 crazy MB of ram ...LOL

I also have a 2.2ghz AMD 3200+ with 2G's of ram. Then at work I just had my friend build me an AMD Athlon Dual Core 3600+ 1.91 ghz (each core?) with 2 G's of ram.

I think I had 768 mb of ram in the Compaq at one point... running windows XP, and it was suprisingly quick. I was able to run photoshop, illustrator, and surf the web pretty quickly. Not like these new machines obviously, but people were pretty suprised when they hopped on the old brick.

It's now a "Keyboard with built in processor, HDD, CD rom, speakers, and usb ports." The LCD fried for the second time so I just attached a 15" flat screen I bought from a friend and use it for surfing the web in my living room.
