Being Beer-venturous

So I’m working on a beer recipe.  I’m going to enter it in Next Year’s Queen of Beer Homebrew Competition.  I’m looking at doing one of the “ancient” beers.  Something along the lines of an alcoholic chocolate drink.  I have to formulate it myself without help from the mighty one.  I’m thinking I’m going to…

Office Warfare

In the interest of self preservation in the workplace, I have recently invested in Armaments  for my office.  The bolt action sniper rifle appealed to me, but I think I’m going to have to go back and get a side arm.  I have to see them coming in time to get them at a distance. …
