The Price of Greatness is $2.50

The Price of Greatness is $2.50

In 2023 Carlsberg met their Waterloo but fared much better than Napoleon did, according to two unimpeachable sources, the history books and ABBA song lyrics.  * One brand of the pour the boar group that was part of the deal was Laker. I seem to recall that Laker beer...

Sanctuary Suds

Sanctuary Suds

The Hollies had to fall in love to find some, The Cult found someone selling some, and Peter Wolf self medicated to get some. * It seems like they all made things far more complicated than they had to be, I found my Sanctuary at the local Beer Store! Tomorrow Brewing,...

My Last Last Light

My Last Last Light

Many times I’ve been on the lake at last light, and if I didn’t wet the net then often the catch of the day was the adult beverage I indulged in when back on “dry” land. As far as ugly pikes go, they wouldn’t be a “cast” member on my reality fishing show. Too big, too...

If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now

If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now

I perused the COMDB library, diving into the dusty tomes of the archives. Specifically searching the Dewey decimal system 030 section, just to check out some “new” English. There were lots of new editions on the shelves. How about Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary...

Do the Math

Marketing genius, that’s what JT would say. Farmer Steve would call it “a profit making deal”. RA would down one quick and ask for another.  If it’s not Crown Fonger couldn’t care less, and JF would add an extra dollop of Picon to this one. Of course, what I’m...

Another Night at the Opera

Another Night at the Opera

I’m not what one would call an opera aficionado, don’t know much about the genre at all, although I’m sure our egghead Editor will have an opinion on the subject. As far as I know Carmen and Madame Butterfly met the Barber of Seville at Figaro's wedding. What I do...

Road Trip Reminiscing

Road Trip Reminiscing

Let me tell you about road trips. There was that one to the Kiss concert in TO. Then what about a spur of the moment trip to Kitchener Waterloo Oktoberfest. And all those A-Bay happy hours just South of the border. Or a motorcycle ride from BC to Ontario and then on...

Kanpai? Don’t Mind if I Do

Kanpai? Don’t Mind if I Do

KANPAI! Sounds like the final blood curdling scream of a kamikaze pilot descending on his target at the speed of sound. * Or a karate master’s victory cry as he executes the greatly feared fatal and final five finger death punch. **  Maybe the Iron Chef’s favourite...

Dark Done Right

Dark Done Right

As the review name would imply, this is a good one. No dark or any other shade of fore shadowing required here. There’s a howling wolf on the can, but there will be no lupine laden levity or awkwardly assembled alliterations in this review. * No siree. Just a lone...
