I Cry For Whiskey and Rye.

I, Dr. Wetbrain, pledge a solemn oath to whiskey and rye. Rye and water are my favorite poisons. So, I know a little bit about whiskey and rye.

The word ‘whiskey’ comes from the Gaelic uisge beatha, meaning ‘lively water’ or ‘water of life’. Interesting to note how also the American Natives use to call whiskey ‘fire water’.

Whiskey, rye or bourbon are more of a European, American and Canadian made spirit compared to the rest of the world.

I very much enjoy a glass of whiskey or two, usually with two thirds of the glass with cold water added as mix to the rye. Mostly in movies, on the other hand, people will down about two ounces at once in a shot glass. Holly, cow! Must have been watered down.

Putin Is A Dink, Beer - Putin Huylo.

Dr. Wetbrain at the liquor store came across a 4 pack of beer with a very cool looking label. Had to buy it for research purposes.

Ends up that this beer is produced around the world due to the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine which started February 24, 2022. A Ukrainian beer called ‘Putin Huylo’. Roughly translated as ‘Putin is a Dink’.

The words ‘Putin Huylo’ were heard first as a protest song towards the 2014 Russian attack on Ukraine. ‘Huylo’ means dick or can be translated as dickwad, dickhead and prick. They all describe Vladimir Putin to a T. The human atrocities and horrible illegal war crimes brought on by the tyrant President Putin. What’s wrong with this heartless idiot? Lots I would say. Even his family is pissed off at him. If you look up ‘dickhead’ in the dictionary, Putin’s picture is there.

Was Putin drunk when he thought of this?

Hans Island - The Friendliest War.

“Wake up Harold!” Dr. Wetbrain yells at him sleeping on the couch. “Watching the news drew me to this thought. Harold, wake up!”

In our wicked world these days we have the absurd cruelty of Afghanistan’s new killing forces and those poor condemned and tortured Uighurs (Weegers) in China. And the list goes on. What’s wrong with these leaders? I would say lots! Are they drunk?!

Anyways, this is a needed comforting story to tell about a vicious battle between Canada and Denmark. Otherwise noted as the ‘friendliest war in history’.

This story is all about a desolate island rock, 1.3 kilometers in diameter named Hans Island, after Hans Hendrick of Greenland. No vegetation at all. An island positioned in Nares Strait, a 22-mile-wide channel between Canada and Greenland (which is owned by Denmark).

Match Game - 70's TV Show.

Dr. Wetbrain loves certain game shows especially the old Match Game. Only because he heard that booze was consumed by the cast during the taping. What a way to spruce up a TV game show. He would say giggling.

Here is the Match Game story.

Host of the #1 TV game show in the 70’s Gene Rayburn would fly into Los Angeles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts every weekend to film the show. One week of shows were filmed in a day.

So, a bit of drink was consumed by most of the panelists during the lunch and dinner breaks amid the taping. There were also breaks between each show, where panelists changed outfits, given food and beverage which included alcohol. The odd time you would see a panelist with a Styrofoam cup. Might be filled with water or might be filled with vodka.

Spirit Of The West - Home For A Rest.

“Harold I was thinking!’ Dr. Wetbrain, suddenly spouted out his great idea. We all had a time in life where we were seriously drunk for a good straight week or two. Then it comes to a point when being drunk gets boring, curing your hangover every morning with a case of beer or two is not fun anymore. It is time to crawl home for a rest. Home to loving, meals, movies, and a real bed.

Harold nodded in agreement. “Few times!” He noted.

Well warm up your truck Harold. We are going to the Central Hotel to see a great band called ‘Spirit of The West”. They have an awesome song all about those good old days.

Listening to the band playing the song ‘Home for A Rest’ with friends was a great night along with the drinking, dancing and laughs. A year later sad news came over the radio. John Mann, the frontrunner for Spirit of The West died at the age of 57.

“Harold you are spilling out a 1/8^th of a bottle of beer! What are you doing? That’s alcohol abuse.” Dr. Wetbrain yelled.

“Spit, backwash”, Harold remarked.

“That’s no excuse. Don’t you know a beer shortage is coming thanks to climate change?” Wetbrain concluded.

Sure, the barley crop was plentiful at one time until the climate change effect came into view. Drought and heat waves are the main culprits in depleting the barley harvest. Droughts, heat waves, floods, hailstorms, grasshoppers’ migration, wildfires (smoke) all have contributing factors to climate change and the production of the most popular alcohol drink – BEER.
