Goldilocks And The Three Beers

Cheers, Mate, We'll Drink To That Nursery Rhyme

This shot wasn't taken on my home turf, because Jaz is not an Aussie brand of beer. I took this photograph in Langkawi during our recent holiday in Malaysia. I was walking down one of the streets in the main town area when I saw this huge carton sitting just on the fringe of a shop.

Initially I thought it was a container of lemonade, because of the colour - and it was only when I got closer that I realised what it was. The curious thing about this shot is that it works because of the slight angle. Had I shot it front-on, it would probably not have been such a strong image.

And just in case you're wondering, no I don't drink. But there are lots of Aussie blokes who make up for me.

(The Odd Shots concept came from Katney. Say "G'day" to her.)

No Can Do

It’s Like Goldilocks And The Three Beers

It may have seemed like an emergency at the time, but a Connecticut man is now regretting his call to 911. The man was arrested after police said he called several times and asked them to bring him beer. He was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to hospital for treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
