And this is my other brother Daryll....

....or an open letter to the George Forman family·.

We've had a small problem in the club of late with names. We've had brewers with the same name before; Brad S and Bradley D, George P and George S, and recently Richard F and Richard P, but none of these have caused much confusion ·well maybe the two Sally's (sorry Sue). ·.

But recently there has been an identity crisis involving the two Daves. This is evidenced by the following email sent recently on the Hogtown Brewers List. But even our confusion, and that created by the the three brothers Daryll, pales when compared to the Dave situation of the McCave family·

Dave,

Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one and calls out, "Yoo-Hoo,
Come into the house Dave!" she doesn't get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!
This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
And one of them Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Charmichael Zutt.
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate.
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.
