    I did notice a little stagger in your step. Perhaps you should drink the beer after.

    Looks like a good throw Alan, turned the caber over and landed it not too far off the twelve o'clock position.

    Looked good from this angle. How did it score?

    Because you can only play so much golf.

    Nice toss. Got a hernia just watching. I'll take a shot at the caber someday, but I'm sure the brew will come first...and afterward too.
