So, a grad student is taking my free beer, but I’ve been rather surprised (and a bit disturbed) at both the quantity and quality of responses to my ad. And why does everyone assume I’m a guy? Anyways, here are some of the highlights:

Either this guy can’t write, or he doesn’t need any more intoxicating substances:

Hey guy im returning your email regarding “the crapy beer”in-wich is for free..lol That is if you still have it.If so please let me know.I’ll take them off your hands.Yes,I am 21 years of age and have proof.actually im 29 but yea you get tha pic.I too have taste in general on beer it-shelf but, honestly there are times when i just want a “f*#.. it beer once in a while.Know what i mean…lol..Any how thank you for your time and hopes to hear from you. [name removed]…….. cell# ….832-xxx-xxxx once again thanks bro for your time.

It appears my 2nd guess was right. I received the following message this morning from the same guy. Looks like someone’s sobered up:

I would like to take them of your hands.I am of age 29 and have Id if needed.My contact numbers are 832-xxx-xxxx or713-xxx-xxxx….Thank you for your timeHere’s one from a smart ass, complete with spelling error:

Here’s one from a smart ass, complete with spelling error:Lone stare is the national beer of texas not bud light, it says so right on the can.

And here’s one from someone at an Army base in Austin. I don’t know why, but this guy scares me a little. Probably because he included a laundry list of his military background and rank:

I don’t want those 19 cans of horse piss, but I just wanted to say good post and I share your views on beer. Let me know when you have some guinness or sierra nevada to give away.

And here’s one from someone that definitely scares me:

You don’t need a machine to make a rainbow for rainbows are made of happy thoughts and dreams and chocolate unicorns and gumdrops and licorice sunsets and fuzzy gum drops bears and chocolate covered chocolate gumdrop land…
