Beer, the Universe and Everything

Before I drag myself to California to shoot the studio stuff for SHOT SHOW TV tomorrow, a maor trend I've spied...from MSNBC:

Guinness-guzzling camel crashes Irish party

DUBLIN - Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party...

...and also from MSNBC:

Hot lead for warm beer

ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis woman shot her husband to death after he gave her a can of warm beer, police said...

Am I the only one who sees something sinsiter going on here? Granted, I watched most of Army of Darkness — "This...this is my BOOMSTICK!" — again last night, but Boy Howdy! Beer fear is spreading. Granted the camel's got good taste, but the woman capped her husband for a can of Stag Beer...I mean, I could buy capping someone over a bottle of, maybe, Alaska Smoked Porter or Anchor's Old Foghorn Barleywine, but Stag? I wouldn't wash Alf the Wonder Beagle in that stuff.
