Don’t Go Sailing with Bacardi 0

I’ve done a little boating in my time.

I wouldn’t ride with Bacardi on a bet.

They have this nice new commercial–really great graphics of a Bacardi bottle sailing through icey seas to a safe harbor.

Unfortunately, the end is fiction, for, as the bottle enters the harbor, it passes to the left of the green bouy (therefore the green bouy is on its right). It’s out of the channel, crashes on the rocks, and floods the harbor with rum.

For the rule is “red, right, return.”

But the animators left that part out; they covered it up with a scene of the bottle safely arriving at the floating bar . . . .

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
