In the gritty slums of 1970s Baltimore a police officer is gunned down the day before his retirement.  His partner, C. D. Monet, tries to find out the truth behind the murder, but finds himself stonewalled at every turn.  He turns to help from his rival; Jewish private eye Siegebreaker and they go outside the system.  At first the two men bicker constantly but in time they bond due to their desperate loneliness.  Soon the ghetto is in flames and the unlikely duo discover that the corruption goes straight to the top.  Will they be able to stop Neil's nefarious scheme, or will Siegebreaker's weakness for underage Shiksas and Miller Lite destroy their chances?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Fresh off of breakup from his sixth significant one-week relationship in a year, upset I. D. Log moves in with his Jewish friend Siggy Breaker.  Hilarity ensues as they fight over the whether reeses cups are kosher, whether the youtube is set to teen pop-stars or 1980s sci-fi bromances, or who drank the last 18 Miller Lites.

Key are Siggy's drunken rants concerning liver.

(this works more as a play with witty dialogue or maybe a sitcom)

I bet the inside of Siege & Ide's refrigerator would be pretty depressing.

Can I be in one of your stories.

In the middle of the first century Gnaeus Ira Edvardus hosts a dinner party in his manor on the Palatine hill, where the guest of honor, Seneca, is to deliver a lecture.  In attendance are two young men, Edvardus's nephew from the provinces, Gaius Ira Caliga and a prince from Palestina, Siege ben Breaker.  The young men discuss Seneca's teaching and each find fault in it based on their respective backgrounds.  Despite their differences the two men become friends and pal around Rome, drinking watery mulsum and visiting every thermopolium in the city.  Their friendship is tested when they both fall for a well-endowed, barely legal, barbarian princess named Princessa.  She eventually picks Caliga, and their friendship is restored.

This little world comes crashing apart with the onset of the first Roman-Jewish war.  Siege feels obligated to return to his people and fight.  Caliga, who is following the cursus honorum, is in the army.  Both men swear eternal friendship before parting; but in war their are terrible decisions and consequences you take to the grave.

Too much fermentation. It also feels like Coors have a lower alcohol contain. Not sure about this. Might be my impression.
