It's like religious spam.
On the other hand, I don't like people talking to me in general. And maybe I look like such a Christian guy that people don't generally stop to tell me about their mythology. That's fine with me.

Outside my school library there is always a group of preachers screaming about how all us college students are sinners and how he knows all the right answers. When faith is trotted as certitude, it begins to be more than annoying.
Aren't they on private property or something?
If it was my college, I'd hose 'em down with beer.

Thinking back to my college days...we'd never waste good beer like that.
Well, I didn't say good beer, now did I? I was thinking a keg of Coors, that is to say, mineral water.

You think Coors is bad? Have you ever tried American Beer?
Coors is American beer. (Unless you're referring to some kind of "American-brand Beer" that I haven't heard of.)
American beer isn't universally crappy, you know. It's not like there's some magic radiation in Ireland or Germany that makes the beer better. The Big Beers are largely watered down in order to appeal to as many tastes as possible, but your local breweries often have all the character that the bigger beers lack. There's a brewery near my college called Augustus Schell - great beer.
