Cadence 2 and Shiner Haymaker

2 years ago I published a selection of running Army Cadences. The following are some marching-speed cadences. They're more ponderous in delivery, but are still illustrative/informative about the Army culture.

The army colors
The colors are Red
To show the world
The blood we shed

[refrain:]
Left, your left-right
left-right your left
Left, your left-right
Stay in step

The army colors
The colors are White
To show the world
We're fit to fight

[refrain]

The army colors
The colors are Blue
To show the world
That we are true

[refrain]

The army colors
The colors are Gold
To show the enemy
That we are bold

[refrain]

The army colors
The colors are Black
To show the enemy
That we fight back

[refrain]

The army colors
The colors are Green
To show the enemy
That we are mean

[refrain]


They say that in the army the Coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh, o-woe, o-woe-oh-oh-oh-oh, hey

They say that in the army the Food is mighty fine
A chicken jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh, o-woe, o-woe-oh-oh-oh-oh, hey

They say that in the army the Boots are mighty fine
How they hell would they know, they've never marched in mine
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh, o-woe, o-woe-oh-oh-oh-oh, hey

They say that in the army the Pay is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine
Oh Lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Oh, o-woe, o-woe-oh-oh-oh-oh, hey


Big Red One
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your guns and follow me
We kill the enemy

One-Oh-One
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your ropes and follow me
Air Assault infantry

Eighty-Second
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your 'chutes an follow me
Airborne infantry

Tenth Mountain
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your rucks and follow me
Alpine infantry

First Cav
Patch on my shoulder
Get in your trucks and follow me
Mechanized infantry

Tropic Lightning
Patch on my shoulder
Pick up your rucks and follow me
We live in Hawai'i

Shiner Haymaker


Here's a Pale ale from Shiner's "Brewer's Pride" collection. Pours blonde with a half finger of white head that dissipates to a ring of lacing. The flavor embraces the Pale aspect of pale ale: little malt flavors and mild soapy hops. Pretty underwhelming for something touted as "Brewer's Pride Craft Beer #6." I guess it's good they're willing and able to take risks like this, but this one isn't for me.
