When I first saw the comic strip “Too Much Coffee Man” * I thought it was the unauthorized biography of Farmer Steve. You see, while you’re on your second cup, he is on his second pot. His morning quaff is a carafe. A real caf-fiend. Our COMDB coffee man. I must...
Jupiter, Roman God of the sky, a lofty position to be sure. Overseeing the Romans, literally. Of course, Paniza’s first love isn’t Roman history, it’s good beer. But their second love isn’t Roman history either, it’s outer space. Beer Trek. The final frontier. To...
The prickly old pineapple is a symbol of good luck, wealth, luxury, welcome and hospitality, fertility, abundance, protection and gift giving. ** It is said to be able to increase confidence and strengthen intuition and psychic experiences. And an upside-down...
Paradise lost you say. Did you look by the dashboard light? * How about on the road? ** I hope you aren’t referring to Milton’s classic ode to Adam and Eve, a poem that by its very length ensures that no one will ever read the whole thing. I couldn’t even get through...

One honey brown goin’ down, straight from the Haliburton Highlands into my glass. As Jackie Gleason would say “how sweet it is”, * and of course the “it” he was referring to was life. It’s another thirsty Thursday and COMDB are on the Crownsmen Show to add some 5%...
According to Donald Rumsfeld * “as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we...
I remember way back in the day, a few of us kids on the old cedar-strip toboggan*, aiming for that bump for a jump, flying off that thing and laughing our asses off. No sense and no feeling, at that age. But the luge! 140 kms per hour sounds kinda dangerous.** There...
