I’m not really sure what the above scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail has to do with a Boozy Root Beer Float. They did say the word “float” over and over again, so I guess there’s that as a possible connection. Whatever the reason, once that […]
Last fall I was “on assignment” to take some cocktail photos for a client and was told it would be at a bar – The Jeffrey… with a bartender – The Bearded Alchemist… They told me his name, but when you hear the moniker “The Bearded Alchemist,” you don’t […]
Big vs. Small. Mountain meet molehill. Mouse meet Elephant (Eek!). The world is filled with the huge and not so huge. We compare them even when we try not to… “My truck is bigger than yours!” “My cellphone can fit in my wallet!” “My cellphone doubles as a […]
Death By Coconut. This should be the title for the final episode of a Gilligan’s Island re-boot. I’m thinking a 13 episode mini-series for Netflix or Amazon Prime, written by David Lynch and directed by Michel Gondry. The cast would be as follows: Jason Segal as Gilligan John Carroll […]

Here we go again! Yet another Golden Ale with the aroma of 2AM, Oregon Diner coffee. The last beer that smelled like this came from the Windy City. The brewer of that beer was Goose Island. This time around, it’s a beer by the Billion Dollar Brewer, aka Ballast Point […]
This post was supposed to be one of those unboxing videos that are all the rage on YouTube. Here’s an example of a very popular one: That video has been viewed over 63 MILLION TIMES! I should be grateful that two of those views weren’t made by my two […]
