This beer is just begging for some funny slogans.
My Dad makes these suggestions:
" When you have guest, give em Hell"
" Have a Hell of a party"
Please comment with your suggestions.

3 Pop Icons Exit
Ed McMahon - arguably the most famous right hand man in entertainment and the name/face of one of the most prolific direct marketing campaigns ever.
Farrah Fawcett - fought the Hollywood machine before indie films were cool and who (at least of us dudes) could ever forget the iconic pin-up poster.
Michael Jackson - self-professed "King of Pop". Let Nike use a Beatles song in a commercial. Whether you like what he did on the personal side of his life or not, there is no denying the impact he made on music and entertainment (and even advertising) over the last 40 years.
RIP. Our thoughts are with your love ones.

Nice Swag
A moleskine notebook and a usb car charger from email service provider Exact Target, might be the nicest items of swag I've gotten all year. Honorable mentions go to Front Gate Tickets for a cool nalgene bottle and to BazaarVoice for a swag bag containing a stainless steal bottle, a knockoff Muleskine notebook and a copy of "Taming the Search and Switch Customer". Ok, what put Exact Target over the top was the fact that the swag was a total surprise.
What's the best swag item you've gotten recently?
