Word of the Every So Often

maximalist: (noun) A maximalist is a person who holds extreme positions and is not prepared to compromise, like the GOP, the Democratic Party, most Evangelical religions, and, for that mater, most other religions. And the list goes on and on. And yet we still wonder why things are as they are.

The Almost Daily

April 7 is National Beer Day! Not to be confused with International Beer Day, which is celebrated on August 2. Yeah. Like we need a holiday to drink beer. Beer has been around pretty much as long as humans have. There’s evidence that Neolithic humans were brewing beer 5000 years ago. The oldest known recipe (about 4000 years old) is for beer, and is part of a Sumerian poem honouring Ninkasi, the patron goddess of beer. Ninkasi is also a brewing company out of Eugene, Oregon. So you can honour Ninkasi with a Ninkasi. And you can share that Ninkasi with a beaver, because it also International Beaver Day! So have a beer and then go out and gnaw down a tree.

The answer to everything.

Finding Paradise

Three good friends died and went to heaven,

and when they stepped through the gates,

the youngest of the three,

in awe and amazement, said,

“Damn!”

And just like that he was gone.

Upon seeing his young friend vanish,

the middle of the three exclaimed,

“Shit!”

And he, too, was gone.

Finding himself all alone,

the oldest and the wisest of the three proclaimed,

“The hell with this!”

And that is how the three

came to be together again.

And it may have been heaven,

or it may have been hell,

but none of the three cared.
