70,000 cans of Coors Light. That's almost the equivalent of a case of real beer.

If he was in Iowa with our 5 cent deposit at least he would have gotten $3500 back, instead of the $800 for the aluminum ($7000 in Michigan)

"24 beers a day for 8 years."

That is dedication and proof that people can do anything if they put their mind to it.

You mean like mental illness or something?

Or more than one person is involved?

Or none of this really even happened?

Or the Catholic Church is hiding something from the rest of us?

Any of those sound more logical than living with that many beer cans

I know the realtor in this story. We used to work together at another real estate agency. I would bet that the number of cans is off by 10 to 15 thousand. He use to inflate the numbers on everything he was involved with.

HEY....that's only a couple of miles from me!!

First thing I thought of though, was the line from Ringling, Ringling....

"Imagine all the heartaches and tears
In twenty-seven years of beer"

Seriously, we cleaned out a mobile home a few years ago that was the same way....most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I won't go in to details, but lets just say that beer cans become very convenient urinals.....
wonder if it was the same guy and he just moved a couple of miles down the road.....

Funny you said that... I was thinking it sounded like a promotional sort of joke....

My thought exactly. It breaks my heart to think that all this guy's beer money could have gone to a more deserving brewery.
