Who the hell is Joe "Six-pack"?

[youthere]

Really? I always thought Joe six-pack was the uber-jock who was lifting weights all the time?

[DemFromMem]

1. Alcoholic-Americans

McCain-Palin seems to have that demographic locked up.

[youthere]

5. Shit..

There goes Wisconsin. :hide: I'M KIDDING!

[WhollyHeretic]

16. I went to school in Wisconsin for a brief time. The town had a population of ~8,000

and there were at least 30 bars.

[youthere]

38. LOL! I grew up in Wisconsin and I know exactly what you're talking about.

[leftofthedial]

2. he lives across the street from me.

he drives a 13-year-old Nissan and seems to REALLY love the Broncos.

[knowbody0]

3. the ones I know have jobs that

are physically brutal. They are spent and just want to become comfortably numb at the end of the day.

[phantom power]

4. No, it refers to working class. Joe with his six-pack of bud.

The old, original meaning of six-pack. Not that newfangled reference to washboard abs.

[TahitiNut]

13. Blatz, Strohs, or Pabst Blue Ribbon ... not Bud.

Bud was "upscale." :shrug:

[phantom power]

15. You blew my cover.

I'm a beer snob. Bud is about as bad as I can conceive.

[TahitiNut]

17. You want 'bad'? ... try Genesee Cream Ale (aka "green death") (or Pearl, in Texas)

:rofl:

[ITsec]

31. Moose Drool...

I've had it. Actually, not bad.

32. Olde Frothingslosh (the pale, stale ale with the foam on the bottom)

From Pittsburgh Brewing ...

[madinmaryland]

20. Don't forget Schaeffers.

:puke:

[phantom power]

28. Yuengling!

From my wife's neck of the woods.

[ieoeja]

22. I was wondering what the OP meant. n/t

[Contrary1]

6. Most of us are Joe "Six-pack"

Who can afford a case these days thanks to this vibrant economy?

[glinda]

7. Tim Pawlenty used that phrase pre VP pick

now wait for the phrase "Sam's Club" in reference to the general public. Sam's Club is a spin off from Walmart, owned to shove money at the Republican coffers.

[GodlessBiker]

8. The husband of Suzie House-coat.

[BeatleBoot]

9. The guy who can only afford a "3-Pack" now

after 8 years of Bush-McCain

[Bozita]

10. Joe Sixpack is the polite name for LIVs. (Low Information Voters)

[ITsec]

25. Low Intelligence Voters...

Fuck it, I'm not polite. I'll say it.

Stupid people.

[Gemini Cat]

29. Bullshit

I am joe-six-pack and I know plenty of joe-six-packs. I would hardly consider any of us stupid or low intelligent voters. We are aware of what is going on around us, by either observation or reading. We form our own opinions and we vote accordingly and we vote Democratic.
I can't say the same thing for the petite-bourgeois ass hats who flutter about dissing labour and worrying about what type of beer we drink.

[ITsec]

30. I like beer too...

And I've drank my share of six packs.

But that doesn't make me (or you) a "Joe-six-pack".

[alcibiades_mystery]

35. "the petite-bourgeois ass hats who flutter about dissing labour

and worrying about what type of beer we drink..."

The problem is that this is a figment of your imagination.

[Gemini Cat]

37. Try re-reading what I wrote.

Perhaps you'll get it.
:shrug:

[alcibiades_mystery]

39. Point remains

[honkydonkey]

11. I don't know him personally but I've heard he's a real asshole. n/t

[Subdivisions]

12. Aka: J6P. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. He's the guy the aristos pretend to admire when they want his vote or fight their wars.

[codjh9]

18. No - Bubba, Jim Bob, ' a regular guy', W-like, 'workin' man', all that b.s. n/t

[ailsagirl]

19. Apparently it's a derogatory term

"Roughly equivalent (to John Q Public), but more pejorative, are the names Joe Six-pack, Joe Blow, and Joe Schmoe, implying a lower-class citizen (from the Yiddish schmo: simpleton, or possibly Hebrew sh'mo: (what's)-his-name)."

[SoCalDem]

21. yep code words..

soccer mom= upper middle class women who don't HAVE to work..can easily juggle kid's activities and drive them to all their games

hockey mom= soccer moms with coats , and who actually LIKE the tussles between players..some encourage their hockey players to "not take any shit" from the other players

[latebloomer]

24. My image

is of a guy in a T-shirt, with as huge bloated hanging-down belly, who drinks way too much, is obnoxious to his wife, is racist, born in this country but doesn't speak English very well, likes Repubs because he'll be rich some eon and collect all the benefits they've created.

[unapatriciated]

26. I Don't Know Who Joe Is....

but we had a family Friend who we called "Six Pack Jack" because as soon as he got his check on friday the first thing he spent his money on was a six pack of Bud.
The rent could wait as long as he had his beer.:beer:

[jbane]

[bdamomma]

36. that is their slapdown of describing the American people.

40. i always imagined it to be some drunk guy in torn underwear in front of the tv

i guess i took six pack to mean something different from you.

[edhopper]

Nascar-Dad who is going home to beat up his Soccer-Mom wife.
