There is another character in Zelda II who says "Bagu is my name". This character is supposed to be named Bug, but came over as Bagu due to a translation quirk. So the brothers are Error and Bug.

Dang, Winter beers already on the shelves. Christmas festivities before Thanksgiving are unforgivable. But for Mad Elf? Perhaps exceptions can be made.

This morning's Count Chocula had crunchy pieces, regular bats, and one Castlevania stage one boss bat.

Some Count Chocula nuggets on a table. Three normal crunchy pieces, one normal bat marshmallow, and one large bat marshmallow (that is probably just a few bat marshmallows that merged together in the manufacturing process).

Zip the image and then burn it to a CD. Scan the burned CD. Repeat for infinite compression.

I want to put all of the things that I don't want to do into a pressure cooker. I want to be done with them more quickly. Press that button, fight with the lid, deal with the steam. Are they done? Yes, quite tender. Get them on the plate before time runs out. Blended work paste.

Lancaster Brewing Co. Baked Pumpkin Ale

Tasted like an apple crumble dessert. Sweet but not sickeningly so. Apples, caramel, cinnamon. Quite tasty, really. This is exactly the kind of weirdo seasonal beer I'm after.

An orange can of Lancaster Brewing Co. Baked Pumpkin Ale, featuring a graphic of a pumpkin pie with whipped cream and the text "Lancaster BREWING CO," "BAKED," "Pumpkin Ale," and "ALE BREWED WITH PUMPKIN SPICES AND OTHER NATURAL FLAVOR".

Tröegs Master of Pumpkins Ale

This is the one I wait for every year. Tends to be very forward with the clove flavor, but apparently that is exactly what I look for in a seasonal beer. Smooth, not watery. An easy favorite.

Classic rock radio.

He would quiz me, like, "name the band" or "name the song". Moved on to "name the singer" and "name the guitarist" when I got good at it.

Cape May Brewing Co. Pick of the Batch Pumpkin Ale

The cashier told me that these were selling quickly. Very smooth. The spices are well balanced; quite noticeable but not smacking you in the face. Subtle but not bland. Perhaps my fave of the season so far.

A close-up of a silver beer can held in a hand, featuring the label for
Cape May Brewing Co. Pick of the Batch Pumpkin Ale. The label is cream-colored with a green patterned border, and prominently displays the brewery name in a stylized script, along with a graphic of a bird perched on a large orange pumpkin. Text on the can also reads "PUMPKIN ALE WITH NATURAL FLAVOR" and "RICH. SPICED. SMOOTH.".

The Compact Disc Digital Audio System offers the best possible sound reproduction - on a small, convenient disc. Its remarkable performance is the result of a unique combination of digital storage and laser optics. For best results, you should apply the same care in storing and handling the Compact Disc as you would with conventional records. No cleaning is necessary if the Compact Disc is always held by its edges and is replaced in its case directly after playing. If the Compact Disc becomes soiled by fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped (always in a straight line, from center to edge) with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry cloth. Never use a solvent or abrasive cleaner to clean the disc. If you follow these suggestions, the Compact Disc will provide a lifetime of listening enjoyment.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

It's a pun. Brown ale with good spices. Pretty smooth drinking.

Tasty chocolate porter. Didn't pick up any pumpkin flavor. Bold can design; very orange.
