The grumpy bears at K&K realize we don’t give enough “props,” as the kids like to say, to things that tickle our fancy. In fact, we can’t remember the last time we had our fancy tickled that didn’t result in several days of deep-seated shame and regret. So with that in mind, we’d like to give a shoutout to local beer blog Barley Mowat, which has become a semi-regular feature on Scoutmagazine.ca as of late. Barley Mowat is the brew-child of Chuck Hallett, a downtowner who enjoys his beer as much as he enjoys spouting off about it. The writing is informative and entertaining, and equally important, Barley Mowat is a fantastic name for a beer blog. Maybe the best we’ve heard. And there is a wealth of beer-pun options out there for an aspiring beer blogger. Hallett could easily have gone the documentarian route in naming his blog “Suds Terkel” and we would have been happy. In fact, we’re thinking about buying the domain name later today. Sticking with literature, he could have dipped into the much-mined To Kill a Mockingbird well and went with “Brew Radley.” To the best of our knowledge, the domain name for that is free as well. Then there’s “Brews Lee,” “Brews Willis,” “Brews Springsteen,” “Honey Brew Brew,” “Mick Lager” et al. Even “Beer as Folk.” Wisely, however, he went with Barley Mowat — a tip of the toque to bearded Ca-
nadian novelist Farley Mowat. For that, we are grateful. And a little thirsty.
GOOD GRIEF!
According to AVClub.com, Peter Robbins, former child actor and original voice of Charlie Brown, was arrested last weekend on “four felony counts of making a threat to cause death or great bodily injury and one single felony count of stalking.” The 56-year-old, who was nine when he was first cast as the voice of Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s The Great Pumpkin, CharlieBrown, is accused of two separate threats againstaLaJollaplasticsurgeonandaSanDiego police sergeant. According to the story, Robbins allegedly repeatedly threatened a plastic surgeon with violence because he was displeased with the plastic surgery she’d performed on his former girlfriend. The second incident involved Robbins allegedly skipping out on paying his tab at a hotel restaurant and threatening to harm the police officer who handcuffed him. So what happened to Robbins? Did someone take the football away just before he was going to kick it? Make fun of his pathetic Christmas tree? Scare him with the Great Pumpkin? It sounds like despicable behaviour, which we in no way condone. But there is a small, superficial, perhaps insensitive part of us that thinks it would be pretty cool to be threatened by the voice of Charlie Brown. At least on our answering machine. We’d even take Linus, Lucy or Peppermint Patty harassing us. Just not the adults on all those Peanuts cartoons. “Waah, wah-wah waaah waaah.” Too close to our Nanaimo childhood. twitter.com/KudosKvetches
