There are many, many examples.

You could be on to something, Clair, since I also fell asleep at the following evening’s Spoon show.

I don’t think it was my beer that made you fall asleep. I think it was the fact that it was after 10pm.

Raul, you're not really off topic, since the Pillsbury doughboy looks like a distant relative of the Oerbier guy. I'll be in the Poconos this weekend and will miss the Stoudt's festivities. Just as well, since this is what happened the last time. Clair's Tripel was very good, though it caused me to fall asleep during the post-dinner movie. Also, it wasn't very hot on Friday. By the way, Murph, that is one helluva creepy link.

hmmm…I never thought that they were similar but with a different color. I guess that I equate Duvel with summer is becaues the first time I had it was on a hot summer day sitting at an outdoor cafe in Belgian. I had a hard time standing up after that.

By the way, are you going to Studts?

My friends stopped drinking beer.

Becky, sorry for the change of topic.

A Belgian Tripel and Belgian Strong Golden Ale (which is what Duvel is) are very similar, both having significant fruit/spice/alcohol flavors. Strong Golden's will be a bit drier and thinner in body. While I enjoy both, neither would be my first choice on a hot day. They do work reasonably well with spicy food however which is what we were having at the time.

One more comment…

Clair, don’t you think that it is too warm outside for a triple? I think a nice fruity Belgian, like Duvel , goes well with warmer weather.

I think that it depends on what type of doughnut that Fred was going to make. If it was a coconut cream then he is a clod. But if it was a bear claw….

Since this is my current computer wallpaper, the whole “heehee” thing has me a tad nervous:

And yeah, men have very special ways of sabotaging relationships. Been there, bought the t-shirt. Although never quite so… strangely.

I believe Fred was referencing an actual Dunkin (?) Doughnut commercial, the context of which I can’t recall–but someone definitely gets up early and utters the phrase. In which case–that is funny–but he should have saved that line for intimate encounter number 10 or higher, to make sure it was not misconstrued. Even better, he should have said that, then come back with doughnuts shortly thereafter.
