"Like a sudsy Brigadoon"

You know what, San Jose Mercury News, I'm-a just stop you right there. Leading off an article like that! You go to your room and think about what you've done.

("Suds" here in the sense of beer, not soap, although Bud Light is hardly beer.)

Bah, sportsball. That said, that's not the worst lead I've seen. My college paper started one article with, "like a condor rising from the ashes" (emphasis mine).

Also, Bud Light hardly qualifies as horse piss, let alone beer.

How much did Anheuser-Busch pay the Mercury for that puff piece?

For one eerie moment, I was imagining a San Jose that only came awake once every hundred years, for a single day. (That curse must've happened fairly recently, considering how intelligible the villagers' speech is.)
