The Putz Pondering Corner

Welcome to the Putz Pondering Corner! This section is dedicated to the burning thoughts and questions that happen to go through my head.


Today I was watching the Alabama vs. Tennessee football game. Alabama's starting quarterback is Greg McElroy. The announcers and seemingly everyone else pronounce his name "Mac-el-roy." Now my question is where did that "a" come from? Why is it the general consensus for people with Mc____ names to be prounanced as Mac? I understand in our english language we cannot exactly pronounce an "m" and then a "c" directly after that, so you therefore need to insert a vowel. But why not "Mec-el-roy," or "Mic-el-roy," or even "Muc-el-roy." And that my friends is something to ponder on.

10 Most Epic Beer Commercials

The previous post showed a classic commercial for Busch beer. This got me to ponder about all the great beer advertisements there are out there so I've compiled another list. Without further ado, the ten best beer commercials.

Honorable Mentions:

Head for the Mountains of Busch


Bud Light: Will Ferrell


Budweiser Frogs



10. Natural Light


Starting off the list is Natty Right. Not much to say here besides a Naturday every now and then is pretty awesome.

9. Guinness


It's always a great day for a Guinness and although the Irish can get pretty cocky sometimes, they can surprise you with some great ideas.

8. Stella


All you need to know is four words: perfection has its price.

7. Coors Light


I'm not a big fan of Coors Light but they have come out with some great ads. Although the coaching press conference commercials are good, I'm reaching farther back into the vault for this great commercial. When you combine arguably America's favorite pastime, tailgating, and twins in a 30 second spot you are doing something right.

6. Miller Lite


What would our society be without man law? Miller Lite has taken it upon themselves to bring up and debate man's most controversial topics.

5. Bud Light


With over 5 million views on youtube there is no need for explanation on why this commercial is so great.

4. Busch


Classic and timeless. What more can i say?

3. Heineken


Not only hysterical but also accurate. Who wouldn't get that excited over a walk in fridge stocked with cold ones?

2. Keystone


One of the less desirable beers out there, Keystone makes up for it by really knowing how to reach their college age demographic. Keith Stone is always smooth, even if you're not.

1. Dos Equis


With so many entertaining commercials, it is impossible not to put Dos Equis at number one. Full of wisdom and advice, we can learn a lot from this renaissance man. Most importantly though we must remember to never, never, under any circumstance, rollerblade.

Bar Jams

Well the week is almost over, and about time the bars will be occupied. This got me thinking when i go to my local watering holes i enjoy checking the juke box collection and like to throw on a 2 or 3 song set to get the mood right. Last couple weeks i've had a key song that i would frequent and i now realize i am on my 3rd song.

Several weeks ago my so called "song of the week" was Steppenwolf's- "Magic Carpet Ride"



Last Week i was on a Skynyrd trip with "Simple Man" as it is also an ode to the great Busch Beer...




This Week I decided the "Song of the week" is the original Ram Jam's - "Black Betty"





So if you're at a bar and hear one of these classics, raise you beer up to the sky and have one on me!
