BELGIAN BEER

MANIC MONDAY LINK

This weeks word is CAN

Maybe you know that Belgium is the biggest beer producer in Europe.

There are approximately 125 breweries in the country, producing about 500 standard beers. When special one-off beers are included, the total number of brands of Belgian beer exceeds 1000.

Of course the special beers are not sold in cans but like wine in bottles. The most popular once are Jupiler, Stella-Artois, and Maes and you can buy them in cans or bottles.

About 100 km from Brussels in Lustin near Namur is a Beer museum.
18.000 bottles of Belgian beer and other items about Belgian beers, like glasses, posters etc are exposed here.

There you can try and buy more then 800 brands of beers and drink about 11 on tap.
The museum also exposes a book with more than 16.000 Belgian beer names and their breweries !

And to give you an idea you have the whole list of Belgian Beers here !

FUN MONDAY

IT Guy the host of this week's Fun Monday said : "I need YOU (yes, the wonderful YOU!) to pick 5 memorable lines from 5 different movies (if you could tell us which character said it and to whom, would be a bonus)...and tell us to WHOM (who in the people in your life) you could have said those lines".

An impossible task for me I first thought ! I go to a movie maybe once a year I only know the top actors and probably not all of them and what is said in a movie I always forget anyway. But I found a solution !

You need something in your life ? Just ask GOOGLE !

And that's what I got :


Adam/Felicia: ‘Oh for goodness sakes, get down off that crucifix, someone needs the wood!'(The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert)
I could say that to Mr. Gattino, just slightly change it to "Get down that crucifix, we need the wood for the open fire"




Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
If I'm not back in five minutes... wait longer! To my neighbor


Rupert Everett, My Best Friend's Wedding
Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing! Me to Mr. Gattino

‘You know, you haven't stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.' (Duck Soup) That is Mr. Gattino saying that to me.

Addams Family Values
Little Girl: ...and then Mommy kissed Daddy, and the angel told the stork, and the stork flew down from heaven, and put the diamond in the cabbage patch, and the diamond turned into a baby! To my son

Except "My best friend's wedding " I haven't seen any of these movies.
