Not only that, he sold his soul for a measly five bucks. Five bucks? You would figure a nine year old selling his soul to another nine year old could get more than five bucks for it. I reckon this happened in the late 90's but even in those innocent times you really couldn't buy much for five bucks. Maybe you could get one pack of Topps Stadium Club baseball cards and a Mountain Dew for five bucks and have some change left over but that's about it. I think back then you could get a six pack of Budweiser for $4.59 but who would want to do that? Not me. I think I was drinking Coors Light around that time. Maybe Bud Dry if I could find it. For a while I switched to Icehouse but it was giving me bad hangovers. I found out that Icehouse is horrible beer. Why didn't I know that while I was drinking that crap? Here I was thinking I was getting old and I was just drinking really crummy beer. Some people call it Crackhouse. That's got to tell you something about the quality of the beer. What I want to know is why would a beer company make commercials trying to portray a product as kind of a big brewery nod to microbrews and then produce an inferior product. It's almost like marketing is more important than the product itself. I don't want to live in a world where marketing a product is more important than the product itself. I imagine I already live in that world because that's the way Dan Ackroyd's character talked in the movie Tommy Boy. He wanted to take the good Callahan name and put his own brake pads in the boxes. Is that how the world works, Dan Ackroyd? Is it? While we are having a dialogue, Mr. Ackroyd, can I ask you if there will ever be a Ghostbusters 3? I know the videogame that is coming out soon is almost like a Ghostbusters 3 but it's really not. Not really. Sure it may take place after Ghostbusters 2 and maybe a an excellent game but a game can't be a true sequel to a movie. Can it?

Have you recently sold your soul? That happened to Bart Simpson once and it was because he had sold his soul to Milhouse.
