Here are some suggestions that allude to both writing and beer and are short. I do not think it is absolutely necessary to reference timing: Tapping In (Beer Tap and tapping on a computer keyboard) First Draft or Rough Draft (Draft Beer and Draft of an essay) Another Round (a round of writings and responses) Beer Run (Run has lots of fitting <a href="http://www.onelook.com/?loc=rescb&w=run" rel="nofollow">connotations</a> ) Symposium of Beer (That will teach them to call us snobs) Beer Carnival (Established terminology of this type of things in Blogging Circles) I’ve been out of town so I hope I am not too late… Here are some suggestions that allude to both writing and beer and are short.

I was confirming the definition of screed, and here's definition No. 5 from Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1): 5. Scot. b. a drinking bout.

But the cure is obviously a long way off. I guess it doesn't really have to be, I was just trying to figure out what our goal was with the name, and it seemed logical that it should convey those three things, but it could, of course, be anything we want, however enigmatic and mysterious we want to make it. What about: Pen & Pints -or- Pen & Pints Day (or Friday or whatever) -or- the Pen & Pints Party Don’t worry, professional help is being sought. But the cure is obviously a long way off.

Jay...you better see a doctor about that alliteration thing. Better yet, see a nurse, a nice nubile nurse. But I don't see why the "Friday/monthly" thing has to be in there. Why? Is there a rule? If anyone finds this thing other than us, they're going to find it by looking at our blogs. You think anyone's REALLY gonna be waiting for it to come out, breath bated? I say the only thing that's REALLY needed in a name for this thing...is that it pleases us. Alan...The Growler? How about (since it's a repeated thing) "Filling the Growler"? Hell, you know, when it comes right down to it...I don't even like the word "blog." It's a by-Gawd ugly word. 1. It's My Beer and I'll Blog If I Want To 2. Found on a Coaster 3.

But then I'll be 48 in just over two weeks so that must be why. Tony wanted me to change the name of my Ale Street News column and I suggested "The Left Coaster."

[So you are really down on the wikiality entry-esque pagette for coasters?]

Seeing as we now have to have an extreme name of some sort:

- Massed Massed Monthly Mondays
- Thricely Quarterly Nicely Quarterly (if we were only talking big bottles)
- Brewsday Is Tuesday (and vice versa)
- Wortly News
- Fobbing Off At The Bung (makes no sense but is vaguely rude)
- Frothing Forth Fourth Friday.
- Thirst Friday Of The Month.
