This Sniper Aims to Please

This Sniper Aims to Please

Cross Country Sniper seemed like a good brew to go with a Canada USA hockey game. However the sniping I was expecting was of the puck shooting variety, not the fight baiting kind. The gloves dropped before the puck did and we all waited for a hockey game to break out....

Ready or Knot

Ready or Knot

The night before our wedding I tied one on. The next day, in tux and tie, I tied the knot while my father-in-law looked on, fit to be tied, I think he referred to me as a knot head. Advice to soon to be weds, don’t go out with future cranky old men after the rehearsal...

The Bird is the Word

The Bird is the Word

Tippin’ the bird to the Eagles, flippin’ the bird to the Chiefs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Taylor Swift fan, but I am also a Bills fan. Being a Bills fan I think they got done wrong in their game against Taylor’s boyfriend and his Head & Shoulders quarterback....

How Slow Slow Can You Go Go

How Slow Slow Can You Go Go

How slow slow can you go go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. *  How about as slow as a slo-mo snail.** Or as slow as a stoner sloth.***  Fonger didn't much care for that simile, I think he said "I resemble that remark."  Foghat recommended making it a slow...

I Miss the Boat

I Miss the Boat

It’s been quite a while since I sampled a Side Launch,* and I miss the boat.** But now  the boat is back, in the form of a vanilla porter. I was looking forward to this one, although I must admit, vanilla and I have not been on the best of terms. It’s not that I...
