It’s the start of a three-day weekend, folks, and you know what that means. Kicking back, enjoying the nice weather before it gets way too hot in the summer, and of course, cracking open a cold one with the boys.
Cracking open a cold one with the boys is an activity that has been practiced since ancient times, when our evolutionary ancestors discovered, as they put it, “fire hot, ice cold.” Temperatures play a big part in cracking one open with the boys, especially if you’re cracking open cold ones.
Let’s break this down: You gotta crack it open. It has to be cold. And you’ve gotta be with the boys. “Boys” here refers to any group of three or more buddies; they don’t necessarily need to be literal boys.
People love cracking one open with the boys, and talking about doing so online. The most popular Facebook page that celebrates cracking open a cold one (with the boys, mind you), has more than 140,000 likes. That’s a lotta boys, and even more cold ones!
Salute to those boys out there, steadfastly cracking open the cold ones.
