(tape delayed*) Live Blog!

Kevin: This tastes better than the 2008 Pumking. No, not better. But it seems like there’s more a little more pumpkin, and a lot less king. This, of course, meaning the 2007 Pumking.

Neil: I hadn’t been fortunate enough to experience the 2007 Pumking in such an elegant glass until this very moment, and I must say, it really releases all of the tender flavor notes, etc. I will be going back to the bar to get a 2009 Pumking next!

Jeff: I glanced at the word “Pumking” that Kevin typed above and now I don’t remember what I was going to write. Go Bills!!!

Dad: It tastes pumpkinnie with some spice. ::Chortle::

Kevin: Tender? ::chortle::? What the hell is wrong with you people? This is supposed to be a serious piece of literature, carefully penned to relay our professional…goddamnit, I can’t type and listen to you people talk at the same time. Tests and the FDA have no place in the parlor room at The Old toad!!!

Okay, tuning you out. Nope. Not working.

Jeff: Kevin got Dogfish Head and it was hot. Oh crap, bad joke. Major sorries dudes. Anyway, tastes like a pumpkin-flavored, strong Oktoberfest. I have a peppercorn IPA on cask. Sweet. Maybe I’ll do that in the future. Anyway, it was good. So was pumking. A successful night indeed! Muffins R4 any1.

Dad, anything to say?

Dad: No

Jeff: Oooooookay! I’m gonna go to the bathroom.

Kevin: Neil just looked at me and asked me to finish his beer. I’m not sure if that’s a euphemism for marriage, or if he just really likes me. I had to clear something up though – was he ignoring his beer, a 2008 Pumking, because he didn’t like it? Or did he just suddenly responsible up and realize that he was the one bound to driving my drunk ass home, and has offered me his remaining booze in hopes that it wouldn’t go to waste? Wow, that was one heck of a run on sentence. But now that it’s over, I can address the issue that Jeff just said I should blog about. Sadly, however, I’ve already forgotten what that was. However, I just heard the phrase “ bananas like penises”, and although I have no idea what the context of that was, I had to include it.

Back to the beer! I’ve just finished a Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, which was very delicious. I really want to make some sort of horrible pun about it, but I just can’t bring myself to do it – too much self respect. So now, it’s time to move on to Neil’s remaining 10 ounces or so of the 2008 Pumking. It’s delicious. And now, we’re going to play board games. Goodnight, and sorry for writing this.

P.S. Neil says “did you fart?” and I said “no”. He said I’m a jerk, and that I should write that in the blog. So there.

*editor's note: this was intended to be posted live from the Old Toad during the "Fall Festival of Flavors" or whatever they were calling this. But the internet kept cutting out, and there were more important things to do. So tough.
