More Leisure...

Despite the leaden weights of "The Ethical Lifestyle" hanging from my hips, I continue to scale Maslow's Pyramid.

Contributed my second review to beeradvocate.com: Leiney's Red, which I liked better than their Honey Weiss (I'm in the midst of a sampler pack).

Also saw about the first 45 minutes of Donovan's Reef, a comedy directed by John Ford, starring John Wayne, I think I'm ready for my John Wayne break now. God, was that awful. Unwatchable in the most literal sense. Part of a dark sort of period in comedic history in which older generations thought they were being "wacky," but which leaves the modern viewer (this one, anyway) stone-faced and shivering.

Sort of a pattern here in unrecommended possessives:
Hawkin's Breed.
Donovan's Reef.

It's either the apostrophe or the double ee curse?

Good thing that thing Mixdorf made me watch that one time wasn't PiscalEE's Island.

Pasqual's Island was a Jbart selection, just as Hawken's Breed was.

I'm sure I've seen Donovan's Reef, but even after reading the synopsis at IMDB I have no recollection of it.

I've heard of similar memory blackouts from people who were exposed to the horrors of the "Billie" episodes of Night Court.

Not a huge fan of most beers, but I do like Leiney's Red. I don't mind Leiney's Original, but I mostly stick with the red.

You always were a "red" guy, AJ, bless your soul!

Your de facto favorite is Killian's, is it not?

Aaron said...

Killian's is ok, but I far prefer Leiney's.

Dan said...

Interesting. Well, I did find it surprisingly good. 3.5, after all.
