Kicking off COMDB Muskoka Oktober festing weekend with a visit to Clear Lake. Six Cranky Old Men, five festers ordering draft, and one ab-stoner who did not go unnoticed by the very accommodating bar staff. “Will you be having a beverage with your meal” was a...
Get It In Y’a Ohh Yeahh! The rallying cry of colonoscopy techs everywhere. If you are an old man better heed the words of Larry the Cable Guy and just git er done. During my last procedure, the young tech said he decided to have the procedure done himself just to see...
Picture a congregation of cranky old men discussing the merits of steel cut versus packaged oatmeal, with each statement receiving a knowing nod of approval from the other cranky old men. The centuries of life experience in the room focused on healthy breakfast fare....
Old Robbie Burns told us that the best laid plans of Cranky Old Men often go awry. * For example, let’s take this year’s Muskoka Oktoberfest gathering of the COM. A battle of the Festbiers was in the offing for a quaffing with an impressive lineup of Oktoberfest...

Another K-Town Common, this time from Kamloops. Mining and the railroads combine with the scenery in this Southern BC town where everything is extra-ordinary, and nothing is common except this beer. Red Collar has me quaffing a Kamloops Common cold craft while...
The Department of Morality always sees a likeness in any newborn. “Oh, he has his father’s eyes” or “doesn’t she look like Aunt Iris”. I just don’t get it. To me every baby looks like Winston Churchill, especially if they are filling their pampers (the baby, not...
Another offering from our a Swedish gypsy brewer Omnipollo* was my wing can for the bud’s season opener last night. Another Swede, Nylander,** contributed to an exciting win over the much hated Habs. But the hat trick hero of the night was Matthews who was shooting,...
