Up a Paddle - Episode 40 - Brace For Reviews

Full show notes to follow ...

Ok, here they are:

This week I speculate about Cloverfield, review Brace For Impact (by Apocalypse Dowell of http://www.themoonmasters.com fame) and continue on my four part series on my summer vacation.  Honestly, I'm spending more time talking about it than I did actually experiencing it.

Random Fact
Ketchup has not always been made out of tomatoes. It started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK. Some popular early main ingredients include anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, and grape.
