In the land of McDavid, Edmonton that is, although after the 4 Nations win Canada is probably the land of McDavid. At least until the next Oilers Leafs game. I’ve always been a buy local kinda guy, especially when it comes to beer. Shout out to O’Byrnes Irish Pub for...
Do you know what the secret is to keeping a slim trim figure at an advanced age? Me either, I was hoping you’d know.* What I do know is that a bottle of beer is about 200 calories and a bottle of wine is about 650 calories. Just saying. This brew is an alliteration...
Stockyard Brewers make their home in the St. Jacobs market district. I remember visiting St Jacobs Farmer’s Market * a few times back in the day. Mennonite horses and buggies, rows upon rows of fresh fruit and veggies, and the farm fresh aroma of cows in the field...
A few years ago, one of my granddaughters was working on a project for school. The topic, Harriet Tubman. A February project, part of the Black History month curriculum at the school. I had heard about Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad before but didn’t...
Memento Mori sounded like a souvenir from New Zealand to me,* but I figured that probably wasn’t right. I checked with the COMDB Translation Department and in their short and not so sweet manner they said “We don’t do Latin”. Latin, eh. Time to give our egghead Editor...

After eating a steak with 5 roofies in it, the tiger in the movie The Hangover was definitely lazy.* The tiger was nicknamed “Tyson” and the story line is art imitating life. Mike Tyson actually owned three tigers cubs at one time and kept one until adulthood. He had...
I’m downtown and out on the town in little apple. At a fancy pants restaurant and the menu has some of the same old same old, with me always looking for a new brew to review. Lo and behold, an Astoria mahogany lager. What’s new? That’s new, and not the Waldorf Astoria...
Ok, here’s the thing, I don’t find Popeye funny. In the comics since the 1920’s and I just don’t get it. Love triangle with Bluto and Olive Oyl, and I think Olive could do better than both of them to be honest. “I yam what I yam”, what’s so funny about that? And what...
A trip back to Dominion City for their Paper Salesman pale. Is this a tribute to Dunder Mifflin and the self-proclaimed greatest boss in the world perhaps? A toast to everybody’s favourite office romance, Pam and Jim. Or a chance to share another bizarre and yet...
