Too Much Beer?

I've been meaning to post for the last couple of days.  Earlier in the week, I had a dream which seemed to last for the entire night.  We were all gathered at my and Hillary's house, just hanging out, but I spent the entire time in my basement trying to pick out the perfect beer for everyone there.  


The best part of the dream was when I found this cool beer bottle in the shape of a friar or monk.  It even had a built-in straw in the general shape of a halo (though I don't know why you would want to drink beer from a straw).  Anyway, I remember racing up the stairs with it, so excited to give it to Josh that I couldn't contain myself.  

In the dream, you were very appreciative, Josh.

You know as I read through this post and got to the monk shaped beer with the halo straw I was thinking to myself, "That would be awesome."

Of course, ideally it would be an Aquinas shaped beer (may have been a saint, but he was one large dude). You'd probably need a six pack of ascetics to really do the trick.

Jon, you should totally read this book that I just finished, Three Sheets to the Wind, by Pete Brown. It's about the culture of beer drinking around the world, with some history thrown in. It was really interesting and gave me a whole bunch of new cities to want to travel to (or plan a return visit). Anyway, you should pick up a copy if you have a chance... http://www.amazon.com/Three-Sheets-Wind-Quest-Meaning/dp/0330442473/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229033395&sr=8-1

I apologize for ending so many sentences with prepositions. It's very late here.

Wow, thank you Maurissa. In the midst of grading numerous papers where there is little comprehension of subject/verb agreement, the difference between plural and possessive, and the need for both a subject and a verb in each sentence, it is refreshing to see someone concerned about ending sentences with a preposition.
