Alien Autopsy, Asparagus and Sarcophagus News You Missed

Alien Autopsy: de gustibus non est disputandum
Translation: there is no accounting for tastes

Honored to have been lampooned!

My mistake, Gus. This Bud was full. Since it is from someone's antique bottle collection, however, I will not venture a guess of its actual contents by now.

Is this a trend? First Russian Commodore Bubblehead, then me as a witness to a government cover-up of alien headwear, now Gus looking for a brew from the heavens “I hear alpha centaury hops are the best” hold the asparagus. Could a reference to Shakespeare be next?
