An ode to the lager lout.

why must she cost so damn much?

Stella is reassuringly expensive, so they tell us.

Prententiously expensive you mean. Along with the barleywine. My boyfriend made beer 4 years ago. Best beer I ever tasted. I think I'll try my hand at it.

My brother blew up our shed making beer. Added too much yeast, or something. A hell of a bang was the result, anyway.

Now that's a funny story. I've been visually your brother as robust and healthy. I hope he's well.

I meant "visualizing".

Actually it was a different brother who blew up the shelf. But my brother is out of hospital today, doing really well. He's a resilient chap, he's reacted as if he's had a minor paper cut or something. Thanks for asking.

Shed, not shelf. Holy God I'm stupid today.

You must be getting your period.

At last! Maybe I'll go through puberty soon.

You've got lots of brothers. Now why does that excite me?
[n/a] Christof › god'swife 30-Oct-02/8:15 AM Reply
I have 2 brothers, both older than me. Both as bald as coots and with differing types of crankiness. Why that should excite you I can't imagine, they're not half as scintillating as me. Ahem.
[7] god'swife › Christof 30-Oct-02/8:21 AM Reply
Well now I'm definitely not excited. You've burst my fantasy bubble. And anyway, if you all were so scintillating then we'd never get down to business. I like a pretty lout every once in a while. They've no need for talk.

I'm sorry, but I can't have people being more excited by my brothers than they are by me. Sibling rivalry.

GW, I'm bottling my latest, orange blossom honey/cherry ale, tonight.
[7] god'swife › Frass 30-Oct-02/8:04 AM Reply
Terrific, but why do you add all that sweet stuff to it?
[6] Frass › god'swife 30-Oct-02/12:02 PM Reply
The sugars in the honey and cherry extract ferment out; leaving only a hint of their flavour to comingle with the hops and malt.

I like Stella Artois, good beer. But, methinks Sierra Nevada Big Foot barleywine would cause a row and a ruction to begin.

I thought this poem was about "On the waterfront". Works for me.

Brando screams "Stella" in A Streetcar Named Desire".
