buffy the pineapple pirate
2005-05-14— Posted by: allegra
So I laboriously cut up a pineapple and then HID it on myself so I couldn’t feed it to people. Sigh. I amaze myself sometimes. But the lemming tarts went over reasonably well. I had a very good time and I intend to do it again. Next time I think it will be the Cultural Treasure Trove. Margaret Cho, ha ha, Spike Jones, Tex Avery, Michael Moschen, Busby Berkeley and the Chorus girls vs the football players, Minds eye, and other stuff. Either that or one of those Big Thoughtful movies, like the Piano or maybe I’ll just break down and show another really entertaining mindless classic like What’s Up Doc or Willow. Thanks to Mike, much thanks, many thanks for the video set up, which worked perfectly.

Yah. I read all the way through this, and strangely enough, I was not surprised he was a sophomore by the time I got all the way through. I’m kinda sophomoronic myself.
At the risk of sounding very conventional in my tastes, Johnny Depp is one of the hottest men I’ve ever seen.

Large shout out to Glen, may he live forever in song, story, fable and myth; to Paul go many honours (he brought me my third favourite kind of beer); Keith Kate my parents John, of course; Bonnie, Liz, Catherine, Tammy, Peggy, and Tori; and my all time favourite beer, St Ambroise Blonde by McAuslan Brewery. I cried the first time I drank this beer. God has blessed this country with this beer. My second favourite beer is Granville Island’s Lion Winter Ale – a seasonal not currently available. My third favourite beer, and I will go to hell for this, is Wildcat Strong. But when I consider this, I realize I don’t love Wildcat Strong more than I love my dad’s mum, Evelyn, the elf-like Evelyn, who is the linchpin of our family. I am 46 years old and I still have a granny, and she COOKED me LUNCH the second last time I went to visit and fed me home made cookies the last time I went. Nope, I don’t love beer more than my grandmother, and I somehow feel a lot happier realizing this. Fourth is Okanagan Springs Pale Ale, Granville Island Lager comes in next, then Guinness, then Black Bear, then this weird Alaskan Spruce Beer that I don’t remember the name of. Then Stella Artois, then Pilsner Urquell, then Paul’s homemade Doppelbock.
Let me take the whole list apart and put the Doppelbock in the top five. That was amazing beer Paul brewed. It was really really REALLY tasty and stronger than a marathoner’s insole.
I’m putting beer before most of my male friends, but being male they will understand.
Dave D is first among those I would hear praised. Leo, Ron, Elizabeth, Sue and Mrs. Dauphinee; all continue to pressure my character, mostly in good and benign ways. I would also hear praised Alan, Mike, Jerome, Brian C, Jim, Rob and Char, Sandy, Tish, Terry, Carol, Jo, Jim P, Jan G, Lois, Bob, Phyllis, Janet H, Will, Steph, Tom L, Tom U, Brooke, Lindsay; the lunch bunch, present tense; L.E., Doug, LJ, Rob W, and the stoned kid on the bus.

It’s the squid. (Sorry, it’s an in joke). Anyway, the folks who showed up, and it was only three people outside my fellow cellar dwellers, to them I say thank you. Made it more like a family evening, so all the people who stayed away, thanks to you too. You weren’t there and that worked out swell…. Here’s a poem from my early days with Paul…. before the kids came. I was hopeless about putting dates on things in those days.
Abundance cantaloupes block the doors open there is an orange in the mirror cherries lurk in the crisper bananas curl up on the fridge pears loll on the dining room table I found four peach pits in the sink leftover raspberries and cream on the counter a chocolate fondue burbles in the bathroom someone is making plans for the pomegranates the pineapple is waist deep in apricots I caught her eating blueberries in bed courageous woman, all her sheets are white and summer is a stain of every colour
ahoy, there’s too much at stake
