Beer Journal

Although the publishers of The Beer Journal don't capitalize their Bs (see Blog, Sweat & Beers below), this is still a pretty cool website with quite a few interesting articles. Check out the article on The Story of American Beer to learn a thing or two today.

Drinking Games Rule!

My friends and I decided to get together last weekend and play a round of drinking games. Sometimes Crazy 8s results in people getting hammered and passing out early. It's just one of the hazards of playing drinking games with professionals. It kind of reminds me of the old adage, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

What Happens When You Mix Too Much Boggs With Honda?

Considering Hank's post below, I think Jim forgot the #1 rule.

Boggs and Honda

I was watching the AFC Championship Sunday night when Miller Lite and Honda came together to bring all of us a commercial break some time in the fourth quarter. As I sat there and thought about it, I realized that about 80% of my life is at least tangentially, at most directly, connected with these two products. For instance, I drink for a drinking team in Seattle, our drink of choice is Boggs See Tasty Booze Vocabulary in right margin. And I drive a 1996 Honda Accord, which, as an aside, apparently has a big red fucking target on it. I swear, that piece of shit has been hit more times than the "X" button on Mike Honcho's Xbox 360. But seriously, all I do is work on the weekdays, which requires driving my Honda, and drink on the weekends, which invariably includes Boggs.

The interesting thing about these two products is that you need to use them sequentially if you plan on staying out of trouble. Although the danger of using them at the same time depends upon how much you've been using one, if you heavily use one to the point that you're too stubborn to not use the other, you're probably going to end up on one foot looking at the sky and touching your nose. Just an observation.

Blog, Sweat & Beers

Within these musings, you will notice that the word Beer is always capitalized. The reason for this is the same reason so many religions capitalize the names of and references to their God or Gods… respect.

I can’t tell you how many times a conversation about God or The Universe or Human Existence itself has been preceded by the copious consumption of that golden-brown wonder tonic of truth known throughout the world as Beer. In as much as the “B” in the Body of Christ is oft times capitalized, I have chosen to give the same honor to the “C” in Can o’ Beer. Respect the Beer and the Beer will respect you.
