After making a name as a wine guy, da owner of da Thimble Full Winery hopes to build a reputation as a beer guy.

Gary Bleary, an old class mate of mine from da St. Mary’s in da Greenwood grammar school days, called me up on da phone and invited me ta visit his operation. He expects to open Thimble Full Brewery in Mehoopany early next year, puttin tagedder da cork and da keg under one brand. He and brewer Mike Simmonizski have produced small batches and shared dem with local restaurants dat are interested in da beer.
Gary was telling me day when he began researching the Endless Mountains' history of brewing, he found da region was not only home to several breweries before Prohibition, but also a sizeable hop industry. The borough of Hop Bottom, for example, earned its name as a center of hop production. And all da time I toght dat it was because dey walked funny der.

Prohibition and da dreaded hop blight ended hop cultivation, Gary said. But just as new winegrape varieties improved the prospects for the wine industry, improved hop varieties such as Cascade and Centennial have made hop cultivation economically viable. He planted several acres last year and plans to plant more. Ya have ta keep yer eye on dose hops as dey are growin cause if you don’t dey just hop right outta da field. Because of da big demand for beer, the world is in the midst of a hop shortage. Gary met with some dairy farmers who might be interested in raising da hops instead a da cows. Dey want to keep demselves busy and der land productive, and Gary tinks hops may be an option. Thimble Full is trying to rekindle an industry that is part of the region's heritage.
On da tour a da brewery wid Bob Lewandowski and Bubbles, Gary said 'Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.' He leads us into da brew house, past fermenting tanks named for Frank Zappa songs — Redunzel, Magdalena, Heavy Duty Judy — and hands out kernels of malted barley to chew on; dey taste just like Grape-Nuts. Den he lets us smell the hops, which grow on vines.

''Anyone know what its closest relative is?'' he asked. ``Yep — a slight little change in the genome and you're smoking wacky tobacky. So you're either smoking dope or drinking beer.''
After da third glass of the high-powered stuff dat Gary called blue Brew, I started feelin mellow and I started tellin’ jokes:
A pig walks into the bar and asks for a pitcher of beer. He drank it all then asked the bartender where the bathroom is. Bartender replies "Down the hall and to the left".

Another pig walks into the bar and orders 2 pitchers of beer. He finishes them off and then asks where the bathroom is. The bartender replies "Down the hall and to the left".

Another pig walks into the bar and orders 3 pitchers of beer. Finishing them off he was just going to stand up when the bartender asks him "Well aren't you going to ask where the bathroom is?" The pig replies " No, I am going to go wee wee wee all the way home." Bob decided den dat it was time ta drive me home.

Pops McGonigle’s Top Ten Tieves of Histry

If a thief goes into business, it's generally for himself or herself, and it's definitely to bring something new into the world. Thieves are excellent in all of the communication arts, but rarely succeed in the news world because of their lively imaginations and their tendency to "add a spin" to everything. The Thief is the ultimate D.J.; mixing other people's records and supplying irreverent comments in the background. Thieves have the ability to think on their feet, and do well in any occupation that requires this. Mostly podiatrists.
1. According to mythology, Prometheus, the Titan, stole the fire from the gods and brought it to humans, thus being the one who made it possible for us to eat French fries and stake instead of raw food, for which we should thank him every single day. For this evil did, he received a harsh punishment, being sentenced by Zeus to be bound to a large stone, while an eagle was eating his liver piece by piece every day.
2. One of the most famous thieves in the world, if not the most famous of all is Robin Hood. Part of the English folklore, his existence was never proved and it is most probably, plain fictional (so disappointing!). The story of Robin Hood and the Merry Men is very old, dating from the 13th century, but it still captures the attention of readers and movies about Robin Hood still bring lots of money to producers! People were always trying to steal his hoodies.
3. Now here is a thief who was as famous as Robin but he was also real. Edward Teach, on his real name, was a fierce pirate, known for his scary appearance and for his beard (thus the name). He lived as a wanted man and died fighting against soldiers sent by the governor of Virginia to kill him, when he was in his 30s. Blackbeard was also granted pardon once, but he returned to the sea and to wrongdoing soon after.
4.Jesse James. This American robber did it all: trains, banks, stagecoaches, coffee shops, nothing was safe when Jesse James was around! Former guerilla fighter during the civil war, he and his brother, Frank, together with the Young brothers formed a band which was feared in the entire South, mostly because their music was awful. He remained in history as a heroic bandit and his legacy (though distorted) continues to this day.
5. Babyface Nelson did not wait to become an adult in order to start stealing cars: By the age of 14, he was already an expert in the field. His nickname was justified by his youthful look and by his small height. He was a car tief specialist. He specialized in Mini Cooper Clubman, Chevrolet Aveo, Saturn Vue , and da Ford Focus. Apparently, he is also known as the American citizen who killed the most FBI agents ever.
6. The young criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde is known for having committed bank robberies, murders and all sorts of crimes in their short career. They were famous in life and became a legend after death, both for their crimes and for their sensuality, as their released photographs show the image of a couple who was obviously in love with each other, posing playfully with their guns . These images, which were found by the police after they were forced to run with nothing but the clothes they were wearing, were pretty shocking, and contributed to the notoriety of the unusual couple.
7. Butch Cassidy and the Sunpants Kid
Born Robert LeRoy Parker in 1866, Butch Cassidy is one of the country's most notorious robbers. After leaving home at a young age, Cassidy worked on numerous ranches and also in a butcher's shop, hence the nickname "Butch." After serving two years in a Wyoming jail for rustling, Cassidy became a master planner in bank, train and payroll robberies. Cassidy was the leader of the infamous Wild Gang, including fellow outlaw, the Sunpants Kid. After the Pinkerton Agency was hired to chase down Cassidy, the pair fled to South America to work as ranchers. Within a few years, however, they returned to their criminal ways and began robbing banks and Bolivian bikini shops. Despite being captured by Bolivian troops who were upset over the sad state of fashion in Bolivia in 1908, the exact details of their demise remains a mystery, but we know that raindrops keep fallin on their heads.
8. Speakin’ of Bank robbers. Bank of America has dropped its planned $5 monthly debit card fee in a reversal of its announcement that attracted a maelstrom of customer anger. "We have listened to our customers very closely over the last few weeks and recognize their concern with our proposed debit usage fee," David Darnell, co-chief operating officer, said in a statement today. "Our customers' voices are most important to us. As a result, we are not currently charging the fee and will not be moving forward with any additional plans to do so." After Bank of America, based in Charlotte, N.C., announced the planned fee in late September, customers were outraged. Roseanne Roseannadanna said.
9. Nicky Scarfo Jr., 46, the son of one-time Philly mafia boss "Little Nicky" Scarfo, was arrested in New Jersey after a three-year FBI investigation of an alleged plot to siphon millions out of FirstPlus Financial Group. Scarfo Jr., also known as Junior, Nick Promo, and Mr. Apple, was one of more than a dozen individuals named in the indictment, along with his wife, alleged Lucchese family mob associate Sal Pelullo, as well as officials of FirstPlus.
10. I had one more but somebody stole it.

The Greediest Man in Moosic

Dave Marogaine, entrepreneur, restaurateur, accomplished author (“Do it Dino Style, Marogaine’s Method to Rapid Achievement”) and motivational speaker knew what it meant to work hard. Line of motivational posters: At the age of 12 he became a dishwasher at the Lobster Pot in Medlle, PA. For the next several years he worked at various positions including server, bartender, cook and manager. He now boasts more than 22 years of experience in the restaurant industry and has held positions at all levels of operations and management. While working in the restaurant industry, Marogaine completed his Pre-Medicine studies at South Hanover Institute of Technology and Doctorate in Chiropractic from Hamburger University in Chicago. He went on to build two of the largest family practices in Wadaware County, PA and personally treated over 800 patients a week. Although his chiropractic businesses were successful, he never lost his passion for the restaurant industry.

In 2003, he made a bold decision to pursue his dream and founded The Dave Marogaine Group. As his passion for chiropractic decreased, his passion for creating brands and concepts increased. Six months later, he sold his practices and began creating the authentic Irish experience known today as Darekill’s Irish Pub. He opened Darekill’s in West Chester, PA in May of 2003. His love for Ireland and authentic Irish cuisine led him to open an additional five Darekill’s locations in just four years. In October 2006, he launched his second concept, Doc Marogaine’s Oyster House, in South Hanover, PA. This success was followed by helping launch Pat Croce’s Drum Barrel in Key West and the Southeastern PA division of Two Men and a Truck moving company. His ultimate goal is to open 25 restaurants up and down the I-95 corridor and leave a legacy of ‘Give. Love. Serve’. He’s well on his way with six new restaurants opening over the next six months, including two new brands–Mas Mexicali Cantina (just opened in South Hanover, PA) and Harvest opening at the end of May. At 36 years of age, Marogaine has achieved many personal and professional accomplishments and accreditation. He has been a finalist in the 2006 and 2007 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year competition, he was recognized by the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of the region’s “40 Under 40” in 2007, Ernst and Young Entreprenuer of the Year Finalist, and by the Wadaware County Chamber of Business and Industry as its 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year. He also received the Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneurial Success Award for 2008 and his company was ranked number 26 in Philadelphia’s Fastest growing 100 Companies. Most recently, Darekill’s Irish Pub in Philadelphia was ranked #7 in the world for best Irish Pub.

Marogaine attributes much of his success to living a Dino’s life which means charging full steam ahead in a short period of time and accomplishing his set goals regardless of the obstacles in his path. Because of his success and his ability to motivate others, he founded “Dino Living”, a training company that teaches people how to put into action his Dino Living philosophy. Over 25,000 people receive his weekly motivational emails and thousands have attended his keynote speeches across the country. His business success and philosophy has made him a successful consultant, business coach, and speaker at several Universities including Warthog Business School, Draino University, Pancho Villa University, Wadaware University, the University of Delaware and several others. Do nothing small and make an audacious impact, while giving for the sake of giving, serving for the sake of serving and loving for the sake of loving is his motto and so he became the greediest man in Moosic

Pops' Ten Top Tips on How to Get Rid of Bad Neighbors

1. Order Chinese food to their house and pick it up at their doorstep claiming that you don't have a phone. Thanks to an episode of Seinfeld for this one.

2. Stand over the plants in your garden with a garden hose and scream, "I have your life in my hands, bow down to me!". Then point at each one and declare them good or bad plants, while watering the bad ones.

3. Bring them restraining orders on inanimate objects in their house. (i.e. chairs, books, lamps, etc.)

4. Ask them if you can put your trash in their garbage cans, if they ask why say, "Mine are full of bodies", then stutter and say, "I, uh, mean other trash." Walk away laughing hysterically.

5. Patrol the perimeter of your garden while carrying a broom. If they come close state that there is a 3 foot neutral area between the two gardens.

6.At night transplant plants into their garden. In the morning say, "Looks like they're on the move again."

7. When they're watching TV, pull a deck chair behind their window. Sit down with ice-cream, popcorn and a drink and ask them if they could open a window so you can hear too.

8. Build snowmen with name tags of your neighbours. Each day hack off a different part of their body.

9.Use your TV remote control to change the channels on their TV from outside. If asked why, say you detest such programs. (The more educational the program the better.)

10.Dig shallow graves at night filling your garden with brown grave patches. Make markers out of household appliances.

It's a Dog's Life

It was one of dose tings which are really nobody's fault. It was not the driver's fault, and it was not Dugger's. He was having a friendly chat with his pal on the sidewalk; his pal ran across the road; he ran after him; and the car came round the corner and hit him. It must have been going pretty slow, or he should have been killed. As it was, he just had the breath knocked out of him.

He wasn't taking much interest in things for awhile, but when he did he found that he was the center of a group of three—the driver, a small boy, and the small boy's babysitter.

The small boy was very well-dressed, and looked delicate. He was crying.

'Poor doggie,' he said, 'poor doggie.'

'It wasn't my fault,' said the driver respectfully.
'He run out into the road before I seen him.'

'Oh, he's not dead,' said the small boy. 'He barked.'

'He growled,' said the babysitter. 'Come away, Peter. He might bite you.'

Women are trying sometimes. It is almost as if they deliberately misunderstood.

'I won't come away. I'm going to take him home with me and send for the doctor to come and see him. He's going to be my dog.'

This sounded all right to Dugger. He was growing tired of the dull life with me and the Hellcat.

The babysitter, a very unpleasant woman, had to make objections.

'Peter! You can't take him home, a great, rough, fierce, common dog! What would your mother say? Besides, he probably belongs to someone because of that collar and license tag around his neck'

'I'm going to take him home,' repeated the child, with a determination which Dugger heartily admired, 'and he's going to be my dog. I shall call him Fido.'

There's always a catch in these good things. Fido is a name Digger particularly detested. All dogs do. There was a dog called that that I knew once, and he used to get awfully sick when we shouted it out after him in the street. No doubt there have been respectable dogs called Fido, but to my mind it is a name like Aubrey or Clarence. You may be able to live it down, but you start handicapped.

'If you wait,Peter, your father will buy you a beautiful, lovely dog… a shitzo or a pomeranian.'
'I don't want a beautiful, lovely dog. I want this dog.'
If I had not intervened at this point, Dugger would have ended up in a mansion in Waverly, where there are no street numbers and having buttered scones and tea. I got the driver's name and number and told him I would contact him if there were any serious injuries. I told Peter that he could come and visit Dugger anytime he wanted on Wisteria Lane.
When we got home, I tole da Hellcat da story and she was so glad that Dugger was allright that she gave him a big bone that she was saving to make soup. Dugger was happy to be back home.

The United States cannot send people into space anymore. Americans must now hitch rides on Russian spacecraft to get up to, or down from, the space station.
The US Air Force Space Command can send smaller satellites into orbit. But the United States has no heavy-lifting rocket to carry the heavy loads that a real space program needs. NASA had a heavy-lift rocket ship under development, one using shuttle-like boosters. But Barack H. Obama, the man how holding office as President, canceled that.

NASA has always had private contractors to build spacecraft that NASA would launch and run. Now some of these contractors, plus some new companies, will design, build and run their own rocket ships and other spacecraft. Virgin Galactic, the “space touring” company, has already tested a spacecraft that carries six passengers and two pilots.
These “space taxi” services could resupply the space station as soon as 2013. And they could, in theory, develop a ship powerful enough to put a payload, or a crew, into orbit.

St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick and the Snakes:

A tale about Patrick is that he drove the snakes from Ireland. Different versions of the story tell of him standing upon a hill, using a wooden staff to drive the serpents into the sea, banishing them forever from Ireland.

One version says that an old serpent resisted banishment, but that Patrick outwitted him. Patrick made a box and invited the snake to enter. The snake insisted it was too small and the two argued. Finally to prove his point, the snake entered the box to show how tight the fit was. Patrick slammed the lid closed and threw the box into the sea.

There are many skeptics. Some say that although it’s true that Ireland has no snakes, this likely had more to do with the fact that Ireland is an island and being separated from the rest of the continent the snakes couldn’t get there. Some say that the stories of Saint Patrick and the snakes are likely a metaphor for his bringing Christianity to Ireland and driving out the pagan religions (serpents were a common symbol in many of these religions).

Today we have the real story of the snakes. Snakes were prolific in Ireland because they were clever little chaps who had come from England in long thin boats that resembled floating cigar tubes. They hid the tubes in case they had to escape later. They settled mostly in the north and lived in abandoned orange crates, but slowly began to slither southward. Saint Patrick first drove out the dreaded judge snakes, who took delight in biting little children, especially the innocent. South from Avoca he drove them through Woodenbridge and Arklow into the sea at Kilmichael Point. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Delaware River and disembarked at the Water Gap and slithered up Route 80 until they came to Luzerne County.
Saint Patrick next drove out the much-feared lawyer snakes, who would hiss and say:"Sue, sue, sue" He drove them through Doonbeg off Donegal Point. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Delaware River and settled mostly in Philadelphia. Saint Patrick next drove out the vicious regulator snakes who would hiss and make up rules that you had to follow or else they would bite you in a soft spot of your anatomy. The most vicious of this species was the OHSHA snake. He drive themfrom Toormoore and Goleen into the sea at Crookhaven. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Potomac River in Washington DC and neighboring territories.

The Lady/China Boy - Condon 1944
In 1944 Eddie Condon and his All Stars began their scheduled radio broadcasts on the Blue Network. Every Saturday afternoon they did half hour shows at 1.30 pm from the Town Hall in New York. The shows were transcribed by the Armed Forces Radio Service and broadcast around the world. This show won the first price in the GI popularity poll. The shows continued until around 1947. I believe some 45-50 shows were recorded and are now available on CD's through the Jazzology label.
