The winner of Nickel Brook’s beer with no name contest is “Uncle Goose”! Apparently the goose theme was front and center. Here are a few of the less popular entries. Uncle Goosed Me – It was proposed that all proceeds go to the #NotMe movement.* The Goose from...

Is it ironic or fitting, or both, that the phrase “double time” has multiple meanings. It could be a marching command from a gnarly staff seargeant.* Or a movie director calling out for Harrison Ford’s stunt double.** Or me getting twice the pay for writing this...
