:: For some reason, this morning I suddenly remembered that when we lived in Portland years ago, a constant source of amusement was the TV advertising for Ranier Beer. Well, wouldn't you know it: there's a YouTube channel with nothing but old spots for Ranier Beer. Check 'em out: Beer Crossing, Raniers in the Fog, and of course, a 1978 spot clearly based on the Star Wars cantina scene, featuring Buster Crabbe as "Fresh Gordon"!
