Yep Budvar. Are they? That would make more sense. Unfortunately I was flying solo without a ton of local context.

I was in the Czech Republic last week and tried the original recipe for Budweiser. Surprised at how delicious it was. Not surprised at how much it was changed to appeal to America.

Don't be surprised if people notice. I'm a manager and get alerts any time one of my direct reports starts messing around with their LinkedIn info.

And all the AV Club commenters will look up and shout "Save us!"… and Kelsey Grammer will

You have to ignore Forbes online. Essentially just an umbrella brand for a variety of vanity blogs. No editor, no core brand voice or POV, just a mainline of stupid from people smart enough to really know better.

I couldn't make it through the trailer. The jingoism was really getting to me. 

They're a lot of fun. Really great sense of dry humor. When we still had an AV Bookclub, they covered the first book. You can dig up those entries if you want to get a sense of whether you'd enjoy them.

I have to disagree. It is a beautiful, lyrical love letter to a bygone era of epic films that avoids a lot of the hyperactive nature of today's event movies. That said, it definitely isn't for everyone.

The depth of the wellspring of 7x quotes never fails to inspire and amaze me. I envision you walking through dusty corridors carrying a torch under the streets of Madrid, pulling out rare 7x quotes, blowing off the dust, and nodding in satisfaction as you bring them out into the wilds of the AV Club to, if only for a…

Red-Tape Dildo No. 2 is actually a great idea for a facile college political statement piece. It would totally get an "A" while setting tongues wagging in the school's paper's opinion section.
