1. That reminds me.
I *finally* tried some Guinness last month. *Just* because of you. :D

9. I did.
It was rich, kinda like the steak-dinner of beers. :D
I could only drink about an inch or so. :blush:

10. An inch or so?
I can drink 5 or 6 easy and I only weigh about 105lbs. I'm mostly Irish though.

11. It goes well with steak...
and stews. It does have a tendency to flush one's system out, if you know what I mean...but it takes a fair amount for this to occur.
Glad you liked it!

14. I was drinking it with fish and chips,
and I was kinda nervous(company dinner). I'm game to try it again, though. :)

29. Practice makes perfect.
:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

God, on St. Patty's Day I had probably about 5 Smithwick's (Ireland's Oldest Ale), a few Jameson shots, and a few Jameson highballs. I was fine the next day. I hear I'll lose this ability with age though.

19. Have you made Guinness braised beef?
Served with colcannon and more Guinness, it's heavenly.

13. You may have stumbled on to something there...
Cease fire. Drink beer instead. If we can get the fundy Islamics to grasp the idea...

12. That's funny. Out here, all that's at the end of them is rain.
I've had more afternoon commutes stunk up that way!

16. I tried German wheat beer a while back and loved it.
It's damned near impossible to find. x(

What are the odds of that being a German rainbow? :P

18. What kind of beer was it?
Don't you live in NYC? I thought you could find everything there...

21. I don't recall the brand. I got it at an Octoberfest
so it's not something that most places stock the rest of the year.

It's a beer made with wheat instead of hops. It's much, much more mellow than regular beer with no bitterness at all. It's a bit thicker too, and it's a very pale yellow color.

I'm going to have to look for it again this year in October. :)

30. It's from "A Mighty Wind" by Christopher Guest. One of his post-
'Spinal Tap' mockumentaries.

Actually, the linked clip is from an awards show, where the folk singing couple from the film perform their signature song in character.

The scene from the movie is unexpectedly moving. My wife and I cry every time we see it.

31. I thought the movie was kind of spoofy...
I didn't realize it was produced by the same guy that did Spinal Tap...That explains much!
The song is sweet. :-)
Thanks for the info!
