Posted by on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 in - 1 comment
It has been a busy stretch. Busy with the kids' school starting up again. Busy now that all the co-workers are back from the hodgepodge of summer vacation schedules. Busy with the political news, the garden... Busy with life. Life has rhythms and we are moving to that beat into the next season. As …

Posted by on Sunday, August 26, 2012 in - 2 comments
Compared to the fine points of the fine points of beer nerdism, nothing thrills me as much as learning about another sorta dumb beer related game like this one: • What the heck is Masskrugstemmen? It's the sport that compels grown men to stand in one spot, holding a five-pound stein of beer …

OK, if I had a spare $6,000 I am not sure I would spend it on this draft pouring arcade game chair but then again I am not sure I would not. You see, there are so many applications. As a tool for teaching about the dangers of drunk driving it's a natural. A boon to any driver's ed course. But also …

"Beer Banned From Dwile Flonking Championship"
Posted by on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 in - 1 comment
That is what the headline read. I heard it from Paul and thought "it's a joke, right?" • No joke. See, there are things that don't go with beer like driving a car and then there are things that not only go with beer but are only really about the beer - dwile flonking is one of them. But not …
PGP 6.0: London Skittles Mania Strikes Nation
Posted by on Sunday, April 25, 2010 in - 1 comment
Not really. Not really at all. But as I am fascinated by the idea of London Skittles I can dream. I am fascinated by skittles, I think, as a pub game primarily because of the act of throwing a fairly heavy weight accompanies the act of drinking beer. We don't do that much anymore. We really don't …

PGP 5.0: Once There Was A Pub Game In My Town...
Posted by on Monday, March 30, 2009 in - 2 comments
So, aside from the fact that I was not a contestant in the Wellie Boot Chuck and that I walked by the Wellie Boot Chuck to actually go to the pub, I thought the Wellie Boot Chuck at one of my favorite pubs on the planet went rather well. See, I was under the impression that the boot chucking was …
