hmmm that is a good question... Slurms was great and I hope he really isn't dead but Duff is cool too so I don't know. I guess Slurms. They both are good examples of annoying ad mascots... I'm also a Capital City goof ball fan.

Hmm. Beer or worm-discharge... Gee, what a tough decision. Actually, I think Slurm's probably supposed to taste something like Mountain Dew. Which I hate. That syrupy crap gives me dry heaves every time I so much as smell it, and I can't believe Queen sold them the rights to their top song for eighty food stamps and a case of Night Train. So yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Duff on this one.

You are never too young to start drinking. I think the whole over 21 thing is a complete joke. I'm not american so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it possible to buy a gun if you have a driving licence and can't you get a driving licence at 16. So American kids are allowed to buy guns five years before they can drink, that just makes no sense to me.

No, you can't buy a gun at 16. Not a handgun, anyway. You can be GIVEN a gun as a gift practically any time, of course. I got my first .22 rifle for my fifteenth birthday, and a few years later traded my lawnmower and bike for a Garand and a Colt M1911. Personally, I'd never dream of actually buying a gun; far too much paperwork involved. Still, getting a weapon before you can drink does make a great deal of sense. If you're giving your kid his very first gun, then you want him to be sober while he learns to operate it, right? Drunk shooters really should be dealt with the same way as drunk drivers.

Actually I would prefer them to be drunk cos there is a better chance they might miss if they were aiming at me.

So American kids are allowed to buy guns five years before they can drink, that just makes no sense to me.[/B] Keep in mind that a kid who gets rejected when he walks into a store with a $20 trying to get alcohol probably won't be rejected when he walks into the same store with a .38.... All minors, please disregard that last paragraph. Anyway, most of these things depend on the state, county, and city. But in most places, you have to be 18 to buy a firearm. So it's only three years.... But your dad can give you a gun at any age; he can't give you a drink (in public) until you're 21. Here are typical ages for different things in most of America: buying alcohol: 21 selling alcohol: 18 attending a strip club: 21 performing in a strip club: 18 buying hardcore porn: 18 performing in hardcore porn: 18 buying firearms: 18 buying cigarettes: 18 signing a binding contract: 18 signing up for the Armed Forces ROTC: 17 driving a car: 16-18 marrying with parental consent: 13-16 suing for emancipation: 13-16 being "tried as an adult" for a capital crime: 12-15 But things really aren't quite as unfair as they sound. If you're a 13-year-old on death row, you might be happy to know that you can get a glass of wine with your last meal even though you're underage. 17-year-olds in the Army will be happy to know that in the Officers Clubs at overseas bases, they only have to wait until 18 to drink. And 14-year-old brides can legally have their husband get them alcohol (even though you can't give a drink to a 20-year-old son or daughter in many states, you can always give alcohol to your spouse).
