. Murun

You know all those times over the years that I said to you, "Remember Murun Buchstansangur?"

And you said, "No."

And I said, "Really? Murun Buchstansanger. He was on Channel 4 in the 80s."

And you said, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

And I said, "He lived under the kitchen sink and he was gray, and sad, and he had a crush on a girl, but she always liked the other guy, and he went to bed a lot like a depressed person, and it was always raining."

And you said, "That does sound like someone I know."

Well, I finally found an episode. It's not one of the best. But it is Murun. Do you remember now?

. Olompali

Olompali State Historical Park is in Marin, a bit north of San Francisco. The Miwok Indians lived there from about 6000 BC. Then Francis Drake arrived, and they didn't live there much longer.

. Favourite Beer of the Week

Schneider Weisse was first brewed in 1872 by this man. Today it is brewed by this man. It is a Hefeweizen, which is German for "yeast wheat," which means it is cloudy and there might be bits of stuff in it. If you want a clear wheat beer with no danger of bits in it, have yourself a Kristallweizen instead. I don't know if you will like it as much. I have never had one myself.

I recommend this beer to you for drinking with food or without food, among friends or on your own after you get off the treadmill and instantly undo all the good work you just did, because you deserve it, you fat bastard.

. Ships Piano

Do you have one of these?




Can I have it?

It's from the late 19th century and it was designed to go on a Victorian pleasure boat, but it would look just as fine in our living room.

I can pick it up whenever is convenient for you.

Or is the one you have more like this?





















It doesn't looks like you're really using it. Stuck in the corner there blocking the bookshelf.

I could take it off your hands no trouble. Seriously, I'd be doing you a favour. What do you say?

. A Day At Work

My brother-in-law Keith is an anesthesiologist, I think. Here is a film he made about his work.
