Wonps Weekend: the Dos

Remember Wonps? Did you just start reading recently and have no idea what an archive is? Google it. Google everything! Google elgoog. 

Anyway, it is short for something long, where "Wonps" actually should be "wnps" which SHOULD mean "with no particular structure," even though, looking back, this does have a bit of a structure, but hey! Who cares? Not me! Wonps fits anyway.

If you don't know what it is, this is your last reminder! It has to do with things I review in a positive light, and has more to do with personal tastes and things I enjoy with little reason on why I'm posting it outside...well, I can.

So, starting with last week's and entering the new category, here we go.

1. Beer of the Week: Guinness
-This encompasses any different Guinness you would have. This dry stout is quite thick for a popular, mainstream beer, but that just makes it that much more grand. A few things I just found out while researching for this: Guinness has been linked to being good for your heart, which is awesome, and Guinness is partially made with isinglass, which is from fish. So, for those men out there that love meat and beer, guess what? Two for one special, baby. Also, any brewing company that is related to both a book of records (you know what it is, don't give me that look) and an attempt at making St. Patrick's Day a true national holiday (no class/work/anything so you can get wasted in the middle of a parade is always a good idea) make Guinness this week's BotW.

NEW 2. Pagebound of the Week: The Mosnter at the End of This Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover
-This is also my brother's favorite kids' book, but man, it is a good read even today. It is apparently post-modern, but as a kid, I didn't give a flying eff. It is neat because it is You vs. Grover. He finds out there's a monster at the end of the book and doesn't want you to get there to unleash it. Unfortunately for him, I like to turn pages. He does his best to tie the pages together, wall them up with bricks, anything, but my hands were TOO STRONG. There's a twist, but I won't spoil it unless you want me to.

Spoiler! Highlight: IT'S GROVER! YAAAAAY!

It was enjoyable to find this amongst my books recently, and I still enjoy it now as much as I did then. If you were ever a kid (some of you, I doubt), see if you have it anywhere you ever lived, or pick it up from the interweb or get lucky at a used bookstore.

That is all. Get out mah house!
