Deep In The Forrest

Well apparently today's good for a few interesting celebrations. Most intriguingly, there is "Ask a Stupid Question Day" paired up with "International Right to Know Day". I guess that means if people ask us stupid questions today, we're pretty much obligated to school them... ahh the thirst for knowledge, and of course beer. Yesss, Drink Beer Day is also today, which is more than likely at least partially responsible for many of the stupid questions we get on a regular basis (cheers!). Thank goodness for drunk people, am I right? They provide us with comic relief due to so many burned up brain cells. Those mighty little brain cells had so much potential, yet they were struck down in the prime of their life. Can we have a moment of silence for all of the brain cells that have died for the cause of the almighty beer belly and the quest for the perfect buzz? **For a moment we can only hear crickets and the central AC blowing** Here is a hilarious vi...

Hope your weekend was great! I just thought I would start off Monday by sharing with you 3 candid shots of Mr. J enjoying a nice brew (they're just cam phone shots, so they're not the best quality). Does this make you beer-fanatics thirsty on a Monday?? :) **Coming tomorrow, Aunt Jackie's mischievous adventures with motorcycle men send her screeching down the highway...

My neice, Kristie , invited us to a "Beer Tasting" event at Raffe's Beer Garden (photo taken from link). I know what you're thinking, Mr. J in a Beer Garden? Sounds like his own private paradise... haha. Yes, we went and it was very nice, although the "set-up" between the beer table and the line for the food was not arranged as well as you might like, I guess with the space allotted they set up the best they could. The food was fantastic! You know how I feel about mediterranean-style foods, and of course my favorite tends to be the Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves). Raffe's is Syrian-mediterranean. "Raffe's Beer Garden sells more than 200 varieties of beer from all around the world." The event boasted a "Beer Tasting, Good Food and Belly Dancing"... The belly dancer, a real arabic dancer I was told, was very talented. She balanced a sword on her head and supposedly dances with a snake, but the establishment I think told her not to u...

Saturday is probably the one day that I wish would last all week long. I love sleeping in, and don't even mind not getting anything accomplished because it feels so great not to have to wake up at any certain time [that not-accomplished guilt strikes me down on Sunday nights of course]. Anyone ever been here? I've seen and heard of some good 'while they were passed out' pranks, but whoever did this one was pretty crafty as well as sadistic... haha. This guy is probably a Baptist Preacher now, who vowed never to drink again. I guess the only story that comes to mind at the moment is one of drunken cruelty, and of course, self-absorbed bitchdom. A former "friend" of mine, we'll just call her "Terry" to keep her bitchdom an internet secret. She was one of those friends who made you appreciate your enemies... Yeah, who cares... ok her real name is Sherry who in fact, had pretty bad hair herself (She was once mistaken for a member of the 80s rock grou...
