Had she sent real Buttwiper to the lab, she'd have been told her Clydesdale had a terminal illness.

The transaction is subject to the approval of InBev and Anheuser-Busch shareholders, and other customary regulatory approvals. Shareholders of both companies will have an opportunity to vote on the proposed combination at special shareholder meetings that will be scheduled at a later date. InBev's controlling shareholder has agreed to vote its shares of InBev in favor of the combination. In light of the limited overlap between the InBev and Anheuser-Busch businesses, the combination should not encounter any significant regulatory issues, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2008.


This one has me kind of torn, I hate bud, but it is a sad day to see an American icon going foreign.

"Tired of those annoying 3AM hang-ups from your crazy, stalking EX? Turns out the same qualities that make your EX so damn annoying make our Snake Dog IPA so attractive. Chock full of bitterness, bite, and attitude, it slaps you in the face with flavor. Just like psycho EX did at the bar last weekend."
