For those of you who aren’t Canadian athletic supporters, the Grey Cup is not a piece of protective equipment for a senior’s hockey league. Nor is it a spot of tea with a scone or two. It is in fact the penultimate pairing in Canadian football, the northern equivalent...
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 visit to Clear Lake but this is no spa day, it’s a howl at the full moon Saturday night and the place is hopping. It’s a full house tonight and I’m straight to the bar, flush with cash, and with a credit card that should be dealt with. A wings special, a messy...
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...

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...
No Leisure Suit Larry here, we’re talking polyester track pants Paul, as in Jeff Paul, who Trestle adoringly refer to as their, and I quote, “sweatsedo superhero”. The diatribe on the can has more adjectives than my Thesaurus and summarizes by describing track pants...
