Pabst Blue Ribbon Mounting Unlikely Comeback

On Cincinnati late night TV in the 60s there was a movie host named Bob Shreve. His sponsor was Little Kings Creme Ale.

He obviously partook during the time the movie was showing, and in the breaks his speech became more amd more slurred.

His running gag was to bring a rubber chicken out and so some sort of pantomime routine with it.

Then he would say, "Want to see chickie a little longer?"

At which time he took the chicken's head in one hand, feet in the other, and stretched it out across his chest.

After he did it for about six commercial breaks in a row it got to be real hilarious.

The Pabst cans still say "Milwaukee, Wisconsin" - the Texas firm bought a P.O. Box there.

PBR is actually brewed on contract by Miller in Milwaukee. The weasals who own the brand just announced they are moving to Chicago, of all places.

Im sorry I missed that (i think) L0L

I grew up on the opposite end of the state and watched "The Ghoul" on sat night fright fests.

I could get "Chilly Billy Cardilly" out of pittsburgh, but Cincinnati? No amount of tinfoil antenna modification would accomplish that feat!

There's a nasty rumor in Hollywood that Hooper is a Republican/conservative,
as he brings his projects in at least on-time and under-budget.

It would be a trip if he'd do even a short commercial for PBR for a bit of change.
