A shuck and a Beer

A shuck and a Beer

“I will not lend thee a penny,” says Falstaff, to which Pistol replied: “Why, then, the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.” The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare, 1602.

We shucked and ate so many damn raw oysters and drank so many beers we missed the actual party. Not that this is trend with Dave and I, but we are part of the 'Fun Hog' crew. He recently said to me, after seeing a middle aged man run by us with I'm guessing maybe 2% body fat wrapped around his 8 pack, "I think my wife would say that guy looks like he's never even drank a beer. I'll take the slightly pudgy one, I'll bet they're more fun."

Mountain Bike & SUP Trip, Hornby Island, BC, 2014.
