I WANT A GUINNESS!

terpkristin · 06-11-2005, 08:32 PM

The internet is a cruel place.
I'm sitting here, thinking about how much I'd like a cupcake (don't ask why, because I don't know), and I surf over to one of the sites I frequent, The Daily Gadget. Lo and behold, they have a link for "A Guide for the Un-Initiated to Buying Guinness..." (link: http://www.ivo.se/guinness/beginner.html )

And of course, now I want Guinness, too.

Guinness and a cupcake. Mmmm....

Funny. I was just drinking a guiness saying I wish I had someone to share this with.

JonInMiddleGA · 06-11-2005, 09:03 PM

Actually, I found Guinness & soft chocolate chip cookies to be quite tasty together.

Lathum · 06-11-2005, 09:05 PM

Guiness and chocolate ice cream. Like a rootbeer float, but better.

korme · 06-11-2005, 09:11 PM

Nati and cheetos?

Guiness = The most over-rated, under-flavored stouts ever to pass my lips. You aren't missing anything (IMO, of course).

Want a truly delicious stout? Try Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Or SS's Imperial Stout. Or Rogue's Shakespeare Stout. Or.......hell, just about any small brewery's house stout, or porter, or.....anything.

Hey I agree, I LOVE Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. And Rogue's Shakespeare Stout. Never had the Imperial stout

But I also like Guinness. It will always have a special place in my heart.

And it's cheaper than Sam Smith's or most of the others...

True. At least you know there's something else out there.

terpkristin · 06-11-2005, 09:21 PM

And Guinness IS better in Ireland. I've had friends smuggle some back for me each time. And been there myself once to have it straight from the source. Smoother aftertaste, IMO...

See, I'm a bit jealous now. I'm 75% Irish and 25 % German, but I'll probably never see the lande where my Grandma and Grandpa were born since I'm terrified of the ocean.

Amen. I'd wondered what people saw in Guinness until I had a pint that had been poured properly and served at the correct temperature in a pub within walking distance of St. James' Gate. Completely different experience than the times I'd had it before, in restaurants and bars that served it the same way they would Coors Light. If there's a more relaxing thing in the world than sitting in an Irish pub drinking a pint of Guinness, I haven't found it yet.

Although drinking enough of it over a few days does have some interesting effects on your intestinal tract...

I hear that you no longer need to actually touch the ocean to travel to Europe. A newfangled contraption or something...

The technical term is Dread Guinness Farts.

You can't trust those dirigible things, though. Just look at the Hindenburg.

Actually, I was referring to the blackening effects. I thought I was bleeding internally until I realized it was the product of all that iron.

I need a hotdog. I dream about hotdogs. I want a hotdog right now. Actually two - one with mustard, onions and saurkraut and one with chili, cheese and onions.

Wonder what Arlie's doing....

Under. Over. Either way, the phrase "the ocean" is involved. I'll pass.

I don't drink anything less than 30 proof. You're all a bunch of pansies.

No, we are all a bunch of non-alchies.

korme · 06-12-2005, 12:32 AM

You are technically more of a pansy, sab, since you can't stomach the taste of beer, ya pansy.

I didn't say I couldn't stomach it. I hate it. But I have drank it in the past. I had too if I wanted to get drunk a lot of the times. The world is full of beer drinking pansies.

*wonders if Shorty is going to round up his brute squad and come to his house*

korme · 06-12-2005, 01:12 AM

That's an interesting choice of shirt, sab.
