I enjoy a Mӓrzen as much as the next guy, that is if the next guy is wearing lederhosen and drinking from a boot glass. That’s right. I love me a Mӓrzen. And who doesn’t love a story from Stephen Leacock about Mariposa.* Leacock’s summers were spent in Orillia, and...
When it comes to fashion, I know that plaid on plaid is a go to for us COM but I was unaware that black is the new red. Of course, there was that time in the bowling alley, and then the Shillow beer of the month club incident. Could this “red” be another case of...
Big Wave, from the big island, owned by a big beer company, in a little itty bitty bottle.* It’s 12 ounces of Island time, a bit of a tropical island respite on a cool fall night. I wonder which island this bottle is from. Let’s see, according to the Kona label, this...
A fireside chat with a duck and it’s double. But after a shake of a duck’s tail when the polaroid was fully developed, I find out another duck photobombed my pic. Three ducks! A mischievous mallard snuck into the frame and there’s nothing I can do about it, I’m...
Off the beaten track on the road less travelled and with a wandering mind, but not lost or at a loss for words. I’m on a search and find expedition for the Haliburton Highlands. Not exactly Denver high or Kilimanjaro high,* but I guess high is a relative term. I...
Showtime with the Crownsmen and Jerrod and Rory were in fine form as we discussed some deep thought provoking issues while quaffing a cold one. We were inspired with Cardi B quotes* and a crafty west coast Kӧlsch, a potent pairing to be sure. A Kӧlsch lagered ale to...
Guv, guy, guzzle. Nope, Guza wasn’t in its preordained spot in my Pocket Oxford. Time to call in the COM Translation department. They puzzled and pondered on the word a bit and then came back to me with a few options. COMTD: Lots of options here. In Polish it means...
The COM played a little round ball back in the day and let me tell you from personal experience that the statement “white men can’t jump” is incorrect. White men can’t jump very high is probably a much more accurate statement, although maybe David Lee Roth* is the...
On that hypnotic highway heading home and sometimes I need a jolt of java to keep me on the straight and narrow. My go to joe is a Timmies small and plain but when the lineup is longer than an academy awards show, time is money, so I might wander over to the no-line...
I’m at the tail end of a bad hair decade, and the next ten years don’t look any better, so every day is hat day for me. Of course, it’s hats off when the national anthem plays, or you enter the Legion for a cold one.* Or in church unless you’re the Pope, and chances...
