Belgium Comes To Cooperstown ‘10

Archive for the ‘Max’ Category

The weather forecast is looking better than last year’s hot & humidfest.

Snuggies will be the “in” fashion wear at the campfire as the temps will dip into the 50’s.

Be prepared, don’t forget your Snuggie D-Lux!

Ed, Chief Prognosticator, lamented last year that BCTC ’08 might be “the beginning of the end”. I hope that Ed is no Nostradamus.

So… will BCTC ’09 be a groovy Beatle-esque Abbey Road scene or will it be more like Helter Skelter. Never mind that Abbey Road was recorded during the most contentious period of discord between the Fab Four. Certainly don’t confuse the Manson mythology with the fact that a roller coaster of the very same name inspired Helter Skelter. Don’t be afraid of a little Helter Skelter.

On the plus side, for Abbey Road is Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a sweet serenade about a serial killer. Nevertheless, just ask Dan; what would you play when retreating from Bells Way-Flow? Octopus’s Garden or Helter Skelter? Methinks the White Album has better beer drinking potential. Or is that the Wit Album?

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you don’t you want me to love you
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Go helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
I will you won’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
Look out cause here she comes

Brewery Ommegang’s BCTC is almost here. Only five days left until the pouring begins! Abbey Road theme for this year’s beer festival. Baseball pants, mullets, skinny dipping, and so much more!

Things to do…

1. Buy beer
2. Buy doggie treats
3. Arrange bail money

The Andersons is place of wonder and marvel. It began as a farm implement store in Maumee Ohio way back before calendars or nonsense like that. It is rumored that The Andersons sold the materials used to make Stonehenge when some uppity Druid decided that he wanted to know time.

They have grown from a humble farm store that has tires for your 1932 Farmall Cub, anti-biotics and hormones for your livestock, to a retail juggernaut that carries fine wines, beer and ale. After all, once planting is done you have some time to kill before you need to cultivate.

Dudes and dudettes in the know shop at the Andersons. Even Wonderdogs prefer that their treats come from this fine emporium.

Moreover, The Andersons operates a gigantic grain and fertilizer operation. They also are a huge Ethanol producer. Mmmm ethanol!

Yes, it is smack dab in the middle of the Mid-west, but they carry one of best craft beer selections anywhere.

And now I introduce you to our video of the Andersons Beer department…Max shops for beer! (silly ass slow download…)

Yes, Max gets his own post. Sorry Dan. It had to be done.
