Yeti Imperial Stout and the MOVIE

This is the last episode in a long series of recapping what went down with friends. The last night at Dan's house was great. We made a funny movie and enjoyed a hearty brew of Imperial Stout which is hand crafted by the most brilliant of Yeti unknown to man.


I must start with the beer. Dan went into the beer hut to fetch some beer while I stayed in the car. I didn't go in because I didn't care what he got. He knows best about what we should drink. I told him that I was game for whatever. When he came out he had a big grin on his whiskery face. He pulled out this amazing brew from the brown paper bag. It said Yeti Imperial Stout on the label. I smiled too. Nothing beats Yeti beer. NOTHING!


We enjoyed this beer not with steaks or fine cheese, but with doughnuts. We are definitely on our way to one heck of a final night. I may be placing the beer before the movie but at this point who gives a flip?


As you can see from the photo, a few doughnuts could not even wait until the beer was opened before they jumped out of the box and slid down out drooling head holes. If you didn't know that Dan was on his knees you might think that there was some underage drinking going on. Well, on second thought the little kid look on his face would be washed by his five o'clock shadow.





We shot a short film that you have already seen on a CD that Dan sent out last December. It is more of a commercial than anything else. We cracked ourselves up when I was making Yeti sounds while Dan poured the beer into a glass. It was very funny for me to say cheers as Dan tried to say something. The voice and character never really matched up at all. This was the funny part for us film makers.


I sipped my way through the beer while Dan was putting it down at a faster rate. We drank and enjoyed conversation while watching old movies made by all of us at different times of our gathering. Most of these films were from the days spent at 2221 Harriman and Ingawanis. Guess who showed up late that night? Give up? ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie making experience before the beer was awesome! We made another classic movie that Hollywood will shoot down, but I love it. Johnny Seedcorn is a character alright. There was not a lot of talk about the movie when Dan sent it out but I hope you enjoyed our silliness.

There was a part with the onions that was not mentioned in any of the discussions and I was saving that for this post. I convinced Dan that the bag of onion bulbs should be thrown towards the camera, but not hitting the camera. Well, the short of it all is that after they were thrown, the bag broke open and there were onion bulbs all over his basement. Not only the onion bulbs, but the skins too. I just looked at him and said something like, "Dude, you are not suppose to let the onions fly all over the basement." You can imagine his response.

If you haven't seen the movie in awhile go pop it into the computer and watch away. Dan might be needing a vist from one of us soon? Tomfoolery is good medicine.

Spectacular - seems like the conclusion was better in person than in recap.

Beer and doughnuts - truly the breakfast of champions.

recap had to be finished. I have not had another post other than about visiting friends since July.

It was a short, fast ride from sweater-wearing middle-America Dan to Alien-mask-wearing Roy. And to the bottom of that donut box.
