Re: Budweiser House is now the Horseshoe House

[treebird]

i had no real attachment to the budweiser sign, but having a giant ad for a casino is pretty trashy.

as opposed to cheap st. louis beer.

[Jehrico]

I shouldn't care about this but for some reason I do.

[hawkcub]

This is one of those things where I see it and think that's just odd. Then I realize it's no big deal.

I'm hoping for the day that the roof advertises viagra, cialis, or trojan condoms.

[CubbieBum]

It will always be the Budweiser House to me. This is one of those things that I can see myself 50 years from now telling my grandkids about. Back in my day it was ...

 

Your grandkids are going to hate you.

Probably because they won't be allowed to play with Ernie Bank's grandkids.

 

WTF is this. Are you calling me racist? This site is going down hill if that type of post is allowed.

 

And considering Banks' grandkids will be a full generation older than mine I'm pretty sure they won't be playing with each other.

[Sammy Sofa]

Your filthy acronyms aren't helping things.

[CubbieBum]

Your filthy acronyms aren't helping things.

 

Sorry if I'm a little mad that someone essentially called me a racist for no apparent reason. I take offense of it because I have actively participated in equality rallies and the such all my life and is one of the things I try hardest to never be in any way, shape or form.

Like Theriot said, it would inspire the team to play hard.

[sneakypower]

i'm really really trying hard not to be racist

No. I didn't call you a racist. Here. And seeing as how Ernie just adopted the kid, then no, his grandkids will not be significantly older than yours. I guess I probably should have linked that thread in the first place, but I didn't realize that it had been that long. For that, I apologize, but I was just joking around. Calm down, I wasn't calling you a bigot.

Equality rallies?

[CubbieBum]

Equality rallies?

 

What about them?

[inari]

Equality rallies?

 

What about them?

 

Sounds gay (seriously).

[Sammy Sofa]

There are really lots of rallies out there just generally about equality?

 

In Indiana?

Maybe nowadays it does but when I was kid and participating in them noone ever thought anything other than race equality.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The threadjack into whether or not Cubbiebum is a racist or just hates Ernie Banks is more interesting by far than whether or not some stupid house changes its advertising paint job.

 

Wrigley changes over time. It always has. If it's not supposed to, go tear down the ivy.

You're describing a time and a place that has never existed.

[abuck1220]

It's gonna take some getting used to.

 

i know. i called in sick to work this morning just to get my thoughts in order over this whole ordeal.

[Old Style]

I disagree. Both topics are equally uninteresting.

a quick check of the fort wayne post gazette shows there are seven scheduled today alone. try and keep up.

Casinos are lovely places, the problem is having an ad for a trashy casino. I know nothing about horseshoe though so I'm just making an assumption.

[David]

The Horseshoe is a beautiful brand new venue with the best poker room in the midwest but tends to be filled with trashy people.

[Soul]

I think the Budweiser sign was actually taken down for a few years, then came back. Or am I imagining that?

 

I can't see this having any more impact than when they took down the Torco sign, or added the Under Armor symbol, or anything.

 

Plus, it's St. Louis beer. To hell with them.
