Father's Day Eudemon

Excellent day at the Scheske house. Father's Day = eight servants and lots of presents: Elvis paraphernalia from Tupelo, Johnny Cash stuff, JPII book, a mat for sleeping at the office, vacation hat, and other stuff. I also told the kids that I wanted to do a Father'

Spanking Buddha

Interesting stuff at this website [http://www.iivs.de/~iivs01311/EN/links.htm]. I don't know if it's all true, but they have an impressive array of respectable links to back 'em up. > Buddhism also has “skeletons in its' closet” which it carefully

The Weekend Eudemon

Another short one, blogging from the office on Saturday morning again. I think I'll change the name of this blog to "The Broken Record": blogging will be light, I'm busy at the office, my genitals are in a clamp and I can't

Since the 1970s when home brewing was legalized during the Carter Administration, a popular present has been the beer-brewing kit. > Retailing now for

Brews You Can Use III

I'm a week late with this, but it merits mentioning. If the feds limited themselves to such proclamations, the country would be a better place: The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a resolution commending America's craft brewers for their contributions to the nation'

Brews You Can Use II

A working beer bottle organ [http://oddmusic.com/gallery/om06300.html]. Maybe the tone gets lighter as you drain the bottles (actually, no: the bottles are filled with mineral oil, which I found a little disappointing, almost sacrilegious).

Wikipedia's entry of drinking games [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Drinking_games]. Most are probably practices in over-indulgence--I might have drank myself into a coma in college if I had access to this website. I played Pass-Out [http://www.prankplace.com/dh_passout.htm]more times than
