Guinness and More

There is something about drinking four pints of Guinness that puts everything in wobbly perspective. I'm rather happy at the moment. Now if I can only maintain this through Friday.

God bless the Irish and Mr. Guinness.

Here's to drinking your bread! Guinness is one of the few beers I'll drink. Have a good night - of course you're probably already asleep on your keyboard!

I think it took about 30 seconds for me to fall asleep once I hit the bed. Guinness is such a great sleeping potion for the stressed.

So you're a happy drunk? I can handle that. :-)

had something similar happen with a powerpoint -- I did it in Powerpoint2003 & where I was presenting used Powerpoint2007 - it truncated all of my headline fonts - I made a joke about it being partially prepared in Japanese Kanji -- most of the audience thought I was serious and were impressed that I tried to make the presentation multicultural

That was smooth and how fun that it worked in your favor. I wish mine had.

it made me realize that my initial understanding of my audience was wrong -- I communicated at them, not to them.

You reminded me of a 1964 musical, "Ben Franklin in Paris", in which dear old Ben gets to sing a rousing little bar tune called "God Bless the Human Elbow" ... because it enables us to bring a glass of the good stuff to our lips.
First time I tried stout was when I was doing a play called "The Weir" - takes place in an Irish country pub, which was fun to re-create on stage. I had been warned that stout was an 'acquired taste'.... took me about four seconds to acquire it - LOL

I'll have to look up that song on iTunes, it sounds like a hoot.

Ah, Guinness is fantastic. When I first started drinking beer, my friends kept telling me to try this ale or this lager and told me to avoid Guinness as it was "the beer that eats like a meal." I never really found the beer for me, until I finally took the plunge, thinking at worst it was a loss of $5.

I LOVED it and have been drinking it ever since.
