Handwritten notes: Hopped to pineapple standards. I think I understand that in America, pineapple = good beer. In Soviet Union, pineapple drinks you!! Standard Ale taste, and standard Dole taste as well. True story: one time a goose challenged me to a fight in a parking lot. I guess I got near his old lady or his eggs or what-not. It was a Canadian goose (of course). He came at me with his neck bowed down, hissing, and holding his wings out to the side to make himself look bigger. I didn't take him on, because that's like fighting a girl. You can't win. You're either the prick who beat up a goose or the pansy who got his ass kicked by a bird.
