The concept of a drive through window is pretty neat when you think about it. You’re able to conduct your business without ever leaving the confines of your vehicle. The most well known version of the drive through is of course the fast food window. That’s pretty cool naturally, but not NEARLY as cool as a drive through beer store (one of which I have very near my home). As cool as I think that is, ironically enough, I’ve never been a patron. But I digress.
While it isn’t nearly as awesome as drive up beer, our local… Continue reading
If you know me even a little bit, you know that Star Wars is a big part of my childhood. It’s partially the reason that my friends know me as Chewie and regardless of the sham that the franchise has become, I feel it’s my duty as a parent to expose my children to the films.
So… when the Wife goes out for an evening and it’s G, C and I holding down the fort, we have a tendency to watch some Star Wars after they get ready for bed. At this point, they’ve seen 5 of the 6 films… Continue reading
As I was going through the hard drive today I realize I’m falling WAY behind on the Beer Shots that I’ve taken… so… here’s one!
The Lenai (Naples, Florida
This was pretty much a perfect afternoon. Sitting on the lenai (an covered outdoor porch for those of you that don’t know) with my feet propped up having a beer. I love vacation.
I’ll steal a quote from the author of this book to start off:
“This book contains material that may be considered crude and vulgar. The humor, while immature, might be better left for adults. If you don’t like jokes, don’t read this book.”
I’d say it’s safe to say the same thing about this review. Still here? Onward…
It’s a long story how I came about this particular “novel” but it goes something like this. I was introduced to “The Shocker” years ago when a buddy of mine slipped one into a picture unbeknownst to the picture taker. Looking back… Continue reading
So last night, we finally had C-Man’s birthday party (we’d celebrated on his actual birthday when we were on vacation in Florida back in March). I was going through the hard drive this AM and realized that I’ve got quite a few AWESOME pics of the big man so I just had to share them! It’s been FAR too long since I’ve done a C-centric post!
As I mentioned, we took our yearly trip to Florida recently (HUGE thanks to Grandma & Pop for making this a possibility) and had an absolutely wonderful time. As you can imagine between… Continue reading
As I do just about every year, last week I attended Opening Day for my beloved Cleveland Indians. I managed to take one picture as I walked into the stadium. If you’d like to see more, check out my post from last year. Our seats were essentially the same and with the exception of Pip, so were the people.
Once again, the Tribe managed to lose the opener, but this year they did it in stunning fashion by giving up a 3 run lead in the 9th inning and then stringing the fans on until the 16th when they… Continue reading
The Winking Lizard (Bedford Heights, Ohio)
If you’ve never been to the Winking Lizard (@winkinglizard on Twitter) you’re missing out. They’ve got some of the best wings in Cleveland, have several locations to choose from and have a TON of beers for your tasting pleasure. This year, I’m participating in the 2012 World Tour of Beers. This Petrus was #32 on the year.
WrestleMania 28 was held on April 1st. And just as the WWE has a tradition of putting on it’s biggest pay per view of the year, Pip and I have started a bit of a tradition of our own… The Beeramid. And for the 7th time we set out last Sunday night to once again attempt the mighty feat.
I have to give HUGE props to my brother Marko for once again joining us for the event. Not only is the event itself Herculean in nature, but Mark and his wife had just 5 days prior welcomed their first… Continue reading
So this year’s WrestleMania main event was set a full year in advance. One day after WrestleMania 27, The Rock and John Cena took to the middle of the ring on RAW the next night and set the stage for this year’s main event. And while some people (myself included) haven’t really enjoyed a year-long build to this year’s Mania main event, I have a suspicious feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to long term booking.
I don’t do great at predictions, but I think I may have this one pegged. I’m… Continue reading
WrestleMania 28: Recap, Thoughts & Drinking Game Results
For those of you that are regular readers of the blog here and AREN’T wrestling fans don’t worry… this is the last wrestling related post for a while.
With that being said, WrestleMania 28 is officially in the books and it’s time for a recap and a look back at the show that was. As per usual we built our yearly Beeramid which was epic.
First off, I’ll say this was a FAR superior show compared to the last couple of years. I always enjoy WrestleMania weekend cause we turn it into an event, but I have to say the… Continue reading →
