This Sunday in Chicago, at a hockey match between the Blackhawks and the Calgary Flames, Nick Offerman donned a bronze-covered outfit, covered his skin in bronze paint, and drank some scotch whisky. He drank it very slowly, as only a bronze statue could. For 45 minutes, he did not break his scowl. Nick Offerman has more fun drinking scotch than anyone.

Offerman dressed up as a bronze statue for a "statue induction ceremony" hosted by some Blackhawks at the United Center before the game. Two Blackhawks kicked off the "ceremony" with some words, a curtain was lifted, and voilà, there was a fully bronzed Offerman, sitting and sipping Lagavulin whisky. He did this for 45 minutes. It was very blatantly a marketing stunt to hawk Lagavulin. But like most of what Offerman does, it was a good one. (You can see the whole thing here.)

Here are some other good things Offerman has done on behalf of Lagavulin: sing a ballad about drinking responsibly, call his dad, go fishing with his dad, do woodworking with his dad, sit in front of a fire drinking whisky for 45 minutes, and sit outside a distillery drinking whisky for an hour. If you have 45 minutes to an hour to kill watching Offerman sit places and drink things, there are plenty of options.
