    Is this sport wear for bees?

  2. Droll not Troll says:

    Sounds like a body movement caused by hives.

  3. JohnB says:

    You silly people! It says, “Beer OK.” It’s sportswear for people whose idea of exercise is hoisting some cold ones while watching athletes!

    • Jennifer says:

      Bowling!
      …about the only sport I’ve seen where it’s OK for practitioners to knock one back while awaiting their turn :)

      • JohnB says:

        Obviously, you’ve never been fishing! Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach him to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

        • blearg says:

          that sounds about right… just look at my dad when hes fishing… or trying to…

          • JohnB says:

            Been there, done that, have more than my share of drunken fishing mishaps of various sorts. My guess is that each beer (or drink, for that matter) lowers the IQ score about 7 points.

            • JohnB says:

              Since you asked, probably the funniest was when I was on a first date with this truly breathtaking, intelligent, and well proportioned woman out on the lake. Having had a few by that point, I proceeded to launch my nice 16-foot fiberglass tri-hull runabout. A bystander noticed it was sinking. I had forgotten to put in the drain plug! fortunately I was able to get it out of the water and drain it. Then we launched again, and I discovered I’d forgotten the ignition key! But I do carry a lot of keys (I often joke I’m training to be a janitor), and in desperation I tried each one, finally finding a random key that happened to work. Oddly enough, there was a second date! In fact, we dated for two years.

            • dr handle says:

              That’s the problem with going fishing, isn’t it: you get the beer, you get the food, you get everything organised, and there’s always some wally who wants to spend time actually trying to catch fish.

              • JohnB says:

                When I was young and foolish, I thought that a fishing trip where nothing was caught was a waste of time. Eventually I learned that the primary purpose of fishing is to have an excuse to sit and do nothing, and if some fish happen to show up, that’s nice, too.

    • blearg says:

      Hooray Beer! It’s a shame that advertisement isn’t on tv anymore…

      • JohnB says:

        I don’t know what country you live in, but here in the USA beer commercials are going strong.

        • blearg says:

          I live in Nebraska… and that Red Stripe (i think) commercial is no longer on TV…

          • JohnB says:

            Oh, Nebraska. Well, things are different here in the USA. Back in the day I drank any beer that was offered, but I can’t say I ever ran across a Red Stripe.

            • PointsOutTheObvious says:

              Is it weird of me not to like beer? I just can’t stand the taste. Actually, in pretty much every category of beverage (alcoholic, coffees, teas, etc.), I have extremely particular tastes. The only exception is soda. I’ll take ALMOST anything there, just no root beer, moxie, or cream soda.

              • Droll not Troll says:

                Tastes change, too. I was about 24 before I liked the taste of beer. Still do, but I’m particular about brands & types. Unfortunately, I still can’t stand coffee, because so many people rave about Irish coffee. Irish whiskey is good in tea, though.
                With soda, my favourites are root beer and cream soda. Maybe I better find out what moxie is and try some!

                • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                  Best coffee I ever had was thie one time in Costa Rica. We were touring this coffee plantation, and they gave us samples of iced coffee at the beginning (and straight shots of coffee liquor at the end). It was the most DELICIOUS iced coffee EVER. It was their own home-grown and prapared beans, mixed with a dash of liquor and a hint of vanilla. The liquor after wasn’t bad either. As far as alcohol goes, I also enjoy Kahlua, Baileys, and Smirnoff. I’m not much of a drinker (still JUST underage in America) I only enjoy a drink a few times a year.

                • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                  As for Moxie, immagine a not-quite root beer gone as bitter as possible (short of the Italian beverage, Beverly, of course. That stuff’s just torture.)

                  • Droll not Troll says:

                    I think I get the idea. Moxie sounds like Chinotto on steroids. I might like it. My idea of “bitter” is probably not the same as yours, since I like Guinness, and chocolate with 85% cocoa solids, both of which are considered very bitter by some people I know.

                    For the record, I used to like liqueurs about 30 years ago. Now I find them too sweet.

              • JohnB says:

                I’ve known lots of people who don’t like the taste of beer, even some that manage to drink a bit of it. I actually did like the taste of almost every form of alcohol, but taste was certainly not the primary reason I drank it.

    • MrEvilBreakfast says:

      Of course! How could I be so blind!

    • Milly says:

      Come on… do you think these people are intellectual enough to get that? I wish it were true!! Good on ya mate!

  4. smuffle says:

    Don’t you guys remember the Backstreet Boys? Totally a reference to Brian “B-Rok” Littrell. xD

    • JohnB says:

      I have reached an age where there are many things I struggle to remember. The Backstreet Boys, however, fall into the category of things I struggle to forget…

      • blearg says:

        do the backstreet boys even exist anymore?

        • JohnB says:

          The band doesn’t, praise the Lord. The boys do, I believe. One of them even remains a famous singer, for reasons unbeknownst to me.

          • Rob says:

            which former backstreet boy is still a famous singer? Forgive me for being out of the loop. The closest thing I can think of is Justin Timberlake from N*SYNC, but that’s not BSB, so yeah, I’m a little out of the loop I guess

            • JohnB says:

              Well, at that moment I had been thinking that Justin Timberlake had been a Backstreet Boy! Of course you’re right, but I always tried to pay as little attention to those artificial juvy bands as possible, so my being out of the loop is largely intentional.

              • dr handle says:

                I thought they were all Backdoor boys? And Justin Timberlake is, I’m convinced, actually Justine Timberlake. That would explain the squeaking.

      • Milly says:

        Dude are you really referencing the backstreet boys. Wow, just wow.

      • Milly says:

        Hear hear!!!

  5. blearg says:

    您翻译了此 Does anyone feel like translating this? (chinese simplified)

    • JohnB says:

      Okay, I’ll bite. Вы переводили это. There it is in Russian, and I didn’t need a translation program to do that, either.

  6. blearg says:

    wow this thread is quiet…

  7. H3xx says:

    It’s the counterfeit version, looks just like the real thing but has a clever misspelling so its legal. what sad person has to buy counterfeit Reebok product?

    • moe says:

      Maybe a pretty happy person, actually, who pays a fraction of the price of a real Reebok product. Could also be a person who can’t read English, and often (in India at least) it’s also a person who doesn’t know or care what Reebok is. They just want a shoe (or t-shirt or whatever), and if it looks like one and works like one, hey, what’s the problem.

      • JohnB says:

        Two words: quality control. Think your Dolex watch is made with to the same exacting standards as the real thing? The money to be made in selling imitations is in selling CHEAP imitations. Cheap is cheap. If you’re lucky, you get what you pay for. Oftentimes you get less.

        • moe says:

          Perhaps I should have put “what’s the problem” in quotes in my previous post. I agree that the quality’s different! I just meant to say that many people don’t buy the genuine article, no matter how excellent the quality, because it literally costs what they earn in a month. So they just decide that a BeeRok t-shirt or Niko shoes are a pretty good deal for their budget, and go home feeling as pleased with their shopping as you or I might be after buying a better quality product. I’m speaking of India here – I don’t know about the consumer profile for bootleg products in other countries.

          • moe says:

            I should add that poor people have never experienced the difference that quality and good design can make to products like sports shoes, stereos, etc. So they’re often unaware of what’s lacking in the cheap knock-off.

            • JohnB says:

              Point well taken.

              • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                As far as furniture goes, there is no immediately detectable difference as far as quality goes, but take it home and use it for a while, and you WILL find out how Bob’s is able to set such low prices. Still, if you need a quick fix that looks nice and won;t be used too much, it CAN be good. I got an EXTREMELY comfortable rocking/reclining massage chair at Bob’s for $99. MASSAGE! I expect it to break within a year, but it will still be a nice year.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      I don’t consider myself a “sad person”. I would buy a product like that just for the weirdness, just like I’d buy any product because the packaging had Engrish on it.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        This logo should be on one of those caps with the can holders on the sides and the plastic tubing leading to mouth level!

      • SarX says:

        I agree with Droll.. if this is a t-shirt it would be a requirement to wear each time i go out for drinks

    • SarX says:

      If you make it, they will fake it.
      If they fake it, someone will buy it.
      Some people just see a price, they dont see a brand name, and they dont see a quality stamp.

  8. LibraryJade says:

    U gotz BeeRok on tap ok?

  9. tea says:

    I have a hard enough time being mediocre, let alone rocking.

  10. dr handle says:

    It’s nice to know that there’s some music for young bees to listen to. Why should the mammals have all the fun of horrifying elders with appalling music?

  11. mwa says:

    Adibas, Mike, Puna… anyone?

  12. kitten says:

    This was a trademark for the group Blur in about 1994. I still have the original teeshirt that said BeeRok – it’s not new and it’s not a mistake, nor is it an attempt to buy counterfit reebok stuff – it’s a PLAY ON WORDS!!

  13. PointsOutTheObvious says:

    Apparently you fail to realize that the headline is a clever reference to the last cheap immitation engrish. I applaude Fiona for remembering it.

  14. moritz says:

    @kitten: right, i still got mine too! it’s rather shredded (?) though…

    • buckinarut says:

      Shredded… one too many times in the mosh pit? Or are they not that kind of band?

      Did Enron or Arthur Anderson or Ollie North get a hold of it, maybe?

  15. Uh says:

    Possible explanations

    1. None

  16. not me says:

    Beer ok.
