The Ice Cave Cometh

Here’s a sneak peek at the subject of my next spec spot, which is set to go before cameras on Thursday. If all of you in the states are unfamiliar with the crisp, clear, glacier-fresh taste of “The Beer Out Here,” that’s because the contents of my checked baggage from Vancouver – pictured above – represents your nation’s entire stockpile. What isn’t pictured, however, is the complex exoskeleton of bubble wrap and ziplock bags that was later (and lovingly) applied to each and every bottle and can by Chels and myself in the hour before I boarded my flight. Which brings us to…

FUN FACTS OF THE DAY!

1. When manhandling every single case of beer in a liquor store, an explanation of “I need to find the perfect one” identifies you as a tragic victim of O.C.D., not an aspiring commercial director.
2. When traveling between Canada and the U.S., you’re legally allowed to transport 24 cans of beer across the border. Unless your guard is cool and has “better things to worry about” than defending the nation from the unparalleled strength of a hearty Canadian ale. In that case, 36 is the magic number.
3. Not that there was ever any question, but Chels’ status as “Best Girlfriend Of All Time” was firmly cemented when she hermetically sealed the equivalent of a small brewery for safe transport across international borders.
4. Yes, the polka-dotted object you see at the top right of the frame is a pair of my boxer shorts. Pervert.
