Mango, coconut, and vanilla vibes in my beer, oh my! Will these vibes be good, bad, or indifferent? Let’s examine the various constituents. I love me some mango and a coconut every now and then is good for the soul. As far as vanilla you wouldn’t be surprised to know...
It’s November 1605 and a group of conspirators are finalizing plans to blow up the government of England. Literally. As in 36 barrels of gunpowder underneath the House of Lords. The high treason conspiracy was uncovered before the fuse was lit, and Guy (sly as a)...
No, it’s not a typo. We aren’t having a good ol’ Friday boil up in the woods of Baie Verte. It’s “Boii” as in “boii oh boii am I ever thirsty”.* I had a great idea. What if the bartender at Bridgewater operated the lift bridge over the Welland Canal with one of the...
Another defining moment in the history of COMDB! Entangled “to be involved in a confusing or difficult situation.” Used in a sentence. “I am entangled in the tasting of this dark IPA.” Lake of Bays tell us we will be “wrapped up in flavour.” Wrapped maybe, rapt, not...

When it comes to wine I know it comes in a bottle, bag or box, but that’s the extent of my knowledge of the vintner and the vine. As far a vine theory goes, it sounds confusing, confounding and beyond comprehension, to me anyway. But it comes as no surprise that a...
Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” holds the Guinness World record for the longest running play.* The name of the play comes from another play by none other than Shakespeare himself. “The play is the thing” Hamlet states and presents a play to King Claudius that is...
For those of you who aren’t Canadian athletic supporters, the Grey Cup is not a piece of protective equipment for a senior’s hockey league. Nor is it a spot of tea with a scone or two. It is in fact the penultimate pairing in Canadian football, the northern equivalent...
