Stuff and things and other things (again)

September 20, 2012September 20, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

If you happened to be a particularly mean and/or nasty person, you know, the sort of type-A, it's-all-about-me, shaking-a-finger-while-wagging-your-head-on-camera-doing-your-Bridezillas-thing, you probably wouldn't be able to restrain yourself from pointing out, potentially loudly, that I've been a terrible blogger recently. I expect it'd be something like, "Mmmm-mmm, my baby-daddy blogs more than you do, and he's … Continue reading Stuff and things and other things (again)

More beer-related evidence of a summer gone by

September 11, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 2 Comments

I have to admit that I'm a little taken aback by the remarkably temperate weather currently favoring us here in eastern midwest, or whatever largely inaccurate geographic designation is current in use for the Ohio valley. Regardless, it's like, cool, you know? As if maybe fall this year isn't only going to be this 10-day … Continue reading More beer-related evidence of a summer gone by

A commercial works my dander up into a foamy, frothy head

August 30, 2012August 30, 2012 ~ Jason

As a rule, I try to keep my keel pretty even. You know, because not only is having a "warped keel" not a particularly fun way to go through life, it always sounds like something they'd have to amputate. Thus, I don't generally get irked up about stuff unless you a) suggest I haven't got … Continue reading A commercial works my dander up into a foamy, frothy head

Earning a little misbehavior

August 23, 2012August 23, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

It's Thursday here on Earth, or at least in the American part of it. I suppose it's probably Friday already is some other places, but we don't like those places with their snooty, Ooooo, I get my Friday's before you attitude, so let's just assume it's Thursday everywhere for now. Being Thursday, I'm conditioned to … Continue reading Earning a little misbehavior

School supply season and the Great Cycle of Beer

August 9, 2012August 9, 2012 ~ Jason

We got the kids' classroom/teacher assignments for school last weekend, and the house is temporarily stocked with shiny, new-smelling school supplies that everyone seems to be mooning over. Speaking of which, seriously, what is it that makes everyone get all gooey over new office/school supplies? It's like the moment someone sees an unopened, shrink-wrapped pack … Continue reading School supply season and the Great Cycle of Beer

Reliving the past through bloggery

July 31, 2012July 31, 2012 ~ Jason

I didn't realize it at the time, but perhaps the best thing about our family summer vacation this year wasn't the time spent idling our day away on the the beach or in the hotel pool. I mean, well, it was, actually. The idle time was the best, no matter what I tell myself to … Continue reading Reliving the past through bloggery

Bottles and cans and just clap your hands

July 26, 2012July 26, 2012 ~ Jason

So, it's Thursday, which is both the day I tend to write beer-related posts for Hoperatives and recycling day. How could these things possibly be related, you ask? Well, as I was grumbling to myself last night in contemplation of dragging our bin of recyclables to the curb, it occurred to me that half the reason … Continue reading Bottles and cans and just clap your hands

The fancy dreams of our youth are all eventually waylaid by, um, beer

July 12, 2012July 12, 2012 ~ Jason

In the halcyon days of my youth, when I used to dream Great Dreams of someday becoming a writer, I had some...strange...ideas. I always pictured "Puddin' the Writer" as having a pipe and a tweed jacket with those elbow patches, and spending his evenings calmly before a roaring fire, hound at his feet. He'd either … Continue reading The fancy dreams of our youth are all eventually waylaid by, um, beer

Look! I went someplace where they had beer!

July 10, 2012 ~ Jason

Unless you're basically brand new to Puddintopia (and my web traffic statistics would not indicate a major swell of new readers anytime in the last...well, ahem, never mind), you've probably seen this logo once or twice, in a post telling you about a different post, someplace else. Specifically, for Hoperatives.com. You know, like this one, … Continue reading Look! I went someplace where they had beer!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

June 21, 2012June 21, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 3 Comments

Surprisingly, even after putting that title up there, I'm not going to go on and on about a bar today. I am, however, going to talk about beer. Because it's Thursday, right? And I talk about beer on Thursday. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that Thursday is beer day...or something. In fact, … Continue reading Where Everybody Knows Your Name
