i have never had a dos equis before, but next time i go out i am going ot try one, thats how much this guy rocks!
all this shit is made in a way that makes you wanna compensate for smth - that's actually kinda why I'm on this forum, come to think of it... cuz I don't wanna blindly believe, bc I have that piece of me that just wants to know facts - and what better way to learn facts about your car then from a bunch of enthusiasts that have the same car? I mean, BMW commercials - you can take them or leave them, I'll still love my e60. But what you're advacating is if that dude were to appear in an ad for Pontiac Aztec (or some other such embarassing vehicle), you'd immediately go try it out just cuz he's all like "I don't usually drive a POS car, but when I do, its always an Aztec"

Dos Equis is actually a pretty good lager. I have some in the fridge right now. Interesting fact: Dos Equis is Spanish for Two Xs. It was first produced in 1897 to commemorate the upcoming start of the 20th century.

It is said the sun comes up later on the 6th of May, in case his Cinco parties run long.
Even lucha libres remove their masks in his presence.
He once taught a German Shepard to bark in Spanish.
He serves sizzling fajita platters barehanded.
Bulls flat-out refuse to fight him.
He helped decide what is created.
When it is raining, it is because he is sad.
Even his parrot's advice is insightful.
If there were an interesting gland, his would be larger than most men's entire lower intestines.
His shirts never wrinkle.
He is left-handed. And right-handed.
Even if he forgets to put postage on his mail, it still gets there.
He once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn't admit it.
You can see his charisma from space.
The mayans prophecised his birth.
Trees bear fruit in his presence.
He once buried a time capsule full of things that haven't happened yet.
He has been pronounced dead 7 times...make that 8.
His bear hugs are actually hugs he gives to bears.
He can't be bought, but his beard clippings have been know to show up on auction.
He has never lost a sock.
And best of all....he drives an E60.

What I meant was interesting was that XX symbolized the start of the 20th century. Not quite so implicit. Analyze that.
