Captain Of The Tailgate: Bring Out The Food

by Brandon on Oct 29, 2010 12:01 PM CDT

As you can obviously tell this post is an ad campaign for Captain Morgan's, but SB Nation needs to keep the lights on (and the servers running) so we need to take a slight detour from Packers football from time-to-time.

Unfortunately I'm a tailgate wannabe. When left to my own devices, I'll bring a hibachi (in later years it's been a Smokey Joe), something to grill (brats are always a good choice but I'll go for weisswurst, when available), and something to drink (usually a good 12 oz. microbrew).

The last time we grilled out, a friend introduced me to mexican street corn (not the exact recipe). He put it on the grill, but he wouldn't tell anyone what it was because he wanted it to be a surprise. Maybe he'd never seen us eat anything other than brats and chips, so he wasn't sure we'd do it. It was great.

The last part of the ad campaign is a video of Marisa Miller swordfighting in an open shirt. I've got no idea who the guy in the pirate costume is, but it appears he's trying to become the next Bruce Campbell.

Thanks for keeping us going, Capt. Morgan

but that was a pretty bad ad considering it had Marissa Miller. First of all, very unoriginal pirate. And enough with the Johnny Depp eye shadow. Second, Marissa Miller’s most outstanding feature is her body and they didn’t highlight that enough for my tastes. But any ad with Marissa Miller is better than most.

As for pregame food – brats and beers, simple yet sublime.

Got a little Captain in ya'?

My wife and I were on a vacation tour group, and there was guy on the tour that we named “Captain Obvious” because he always said things that were so factual and irrellevant as to be completely worthless, and yet he always said these things in a voice that you’d ordinarily expect when somebody told the punchline of a joke. Example: “Oh, hey, the bus is backin’ up now… hope we don’t hit anything, right?” And, again, from the tone in his voice, you’d think it was funny. Like, say you didn’t speak English and you heard him, you’d expect the translation to be “…and so I said, let me slip out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini! …mwa-hah”

So, anyways, to this day, whenever my wife or I says something that’s almost funny but winds up being kinda’ dumb, the other will respond with a Captain Morgan tagline, either “Got a little Cap’n in ya’?” or “Callin’ ALL Captians!”

…thought I’d share…

…or we’ll just do the pose, resting our foot on something and putting our forearm on our knee, and the other person will be like “yah, yah, I know.”

I'm not entirely sure what I just saw.

Should I be thirsty for some rum? Excited about pirates? Aroused? TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, CAPTAIN MORGAN!

My battles with the Captain don't generally end up with me being the victor
