drpaisleyAs is true with so many things, I have accumulated a collection of beer mugs and glasses over the years. Some were direct purchases, others came as part of a package deal with the beer. Just before McGowanmas, I received a package in the mail from Roger "Pinky" Tener, head of the Dawn Patrol, chief pilot for White Knuckle Airlines and all-around great guy. He is also, like myself, a fan of the Firesign Theatre, and inside the box was this fine addition to the collection. It holds a full (US) pint, and fits in my hand perfectly.
Today, after having dropped off a couple of months' worth of bottles at our handy neighborhood glass recycling dumpster, I ran by Gomer's Midtown to replenish the larder. At one point I looked over at a shelf of glassware, and what do my wondering eyes behold but one of these babies. I've been wanting one for a while, and this was the first time I had seen one. It is now on my desk, holding the last few sips of a Samuel Adams Noble Pils. Obviously, a lot of testing will be necessary to determine if this glass is the breakthrough it's claimed to be, but I am up to the task.
