With David Letterman's retirement imminent, if not too exactly specified, I suppose it's an excuse to keep watching until the last good-night. Even when he has the likes of Bruce Willis on. Our star wasn't even hawking a particular film, though there will be another one along with a title rhyming with "try hard".

Perhaps the next one, to which he'll only affix the number "six"---gasps and swiveling heads all around?---will feature the former governator in a tie in with the resurrection of "Kindergarten Cop". I know we are not laughing.

Without a product to plug a few of Dave's guests have a gimmick to fill time, and B. W. is at the head of that dubious class. The other night he brought out a hands free corn eating device redolent of Bob Dylan's harmonica collar. Well, never mind it was more hand intensive than just holding the ear of corn.

Next was the chrome dome type "hat" suggested by the dual beers and tube tailgate contraption. In this case it was melted butter for the corn; I think the most associated substance has caused him a few problems somewhere.

A mess was nevertheless made, and out came a Dirt Devil EZ Lite vacuum cleaner Willis managed to apply to his shirt, and not with the attachment. How about that, I just bought one, but rationality set in: it's a cheap model purchased at the nearby big chain store and undoubtedly there is a blanket of them across our Die Hardy land.

But the alcohol isn't quite out of this blog. One of my minor hobbies is binge watching trailers on IMDB and a forthcoming film called "Rudderless" had one in the batch. A father loses a son to a campus shooter and eventually forms a band to present the songs said son had written. On a waterfront at night he is drowning his sorrows and in a split second I spot a bottle of fizz coming away from his tear stained face.

Oh, dear, the red label with the orange hued inset of a trapeze girl and the slightly boomerang shape she's throwing: Acme California IPA. I used to enjoy it despite the 6.5% content but in the last couple of years maybe the hop shortage has affected it.

Good eye, Dan. Have a problem?
