Beer is allowed on a hunger strike?
Well, some of them are supposed to be less filling.

Did you know his son is a chef? Oh, the irony.
Excuse me for a sec...
HAHAHAHA!
Sorry.

You know what's even worse? One time, my friend Carrie found a Bobby Sands commemorative SPOON in some shop in Belfast.
Oh man, if only I had time to photoshop something about that!

Only if it was Diet Guinness....
*running*
Posted by: Brian B at August 30, 2006 09:18 AMWell, Brian, Guinness is going to reduce the alcohol content of their beer, to, you know, match the "lifestyle" of the average Irishman and lass.
New Guinness Lite! Goes with the Guinness Malta near-beer!
Emily really is going to ban me now, I know it. But I'm just the messenger.

Posted by: Brian B at August 30, 2006 09:30 AMLook guys, there are some things I ask you not talk about here as a small gesture of respect to your hosts. One of them is The Godfather Part III and the other is any form of reduced-alcohol Guinness. It's enough to make a girl believe in the Devil.
Posted by: Emily at August 30, 2006 09:39 AMSo The Phantom Menace is okay now?
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at August 30, 2006 09:42 AMEmily - well, at least I've never seen The Godfather Part III. In fact, I've never seen any of them.
And the Devil is out there Emily, plotting to make Guinness Mid Strength the only kind of Guinness distributed within 150 miles of your home. Or was that Guinness Malta?
Posted by: John, supplier of Guinness Malta for Emily's Secret Little Habit at August 30, 2006 09:45 AMOh yeah, that was just a plain old piece of shit. I never got bothered by that. If anyone says they thought it was a good movie, I'll probably assume forever that they're a fucking idiot, but it's certainly not taboo.
Posted by: Emily at August 30, 2006 09:46 AMJOHN!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Emily at August 30, 2006 09:47 AMKen - can you post a picture of Jar-Jar for me?
Posted by: John, supplier of Guinness Malta for Emily's Secret Little Habit at August 30, 2006 10:18 AMDo I LOOK suicidal?
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at August 30, 2006 10:24 AMWell, you did do the post on Guinness Malta...
Posted by: John, supplier of Guinness Malta for Emily's Secret Little Habit at August 30, 2006 10:35 AMJohn,
Here's one.
John, here's Guinness Zero's new Spokesthing.
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at August 30, 2006 11:13 AMHahahaha, I saw the url was 'photobucket' so I thought it might be a different picture.
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at August 30, 2006 11:14 AMGeez, Emily and Bing, you take all the fun out of making Ken do things against his better judgment.
Just you wait, one of these days Old Milwaukee really is going to buy Diageo. The Devil, he's a-plottin, I tell ya.
"Ken" and "better judgment" do not belong in the same sentence, unless it begins with "I have" and ends with "than Ken."
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at August 30, 2006 01:03 PMI think I'd rather go on a hunger strike than drink lite Guinness.
Posted by: Nightfly at August 30, 2006 02:22 PMWOULD EVERYBODY PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT LITE GUINNESS. PLEASE.
Some of us already have a hard enough time sleeping at night.
Posted by: Emily at August 30, 2006 02:28 PMGuinness Mid Strength, for you purists.
Posted by: John, supplier of Guinness Malta for Emily's Secret Little Habit at August 30, 2006 02:41 PMMid-Strength? PAH. It's either Guinness Strength, or it's not.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at August 30, 2006 04:29 PMLo and behold! There actually was a Guinness Light! Although a geezer like Ken might remember it, it was a bit before I hit the drinking age:
"In 1979, it rolled out a low-calorie product called “Guinness Light.” People here still talk about the advertising campaign, which used the tagline "they said it couldn't be done." Apparently it couldn't. Guinness Light flopped so sensationally it earned the title “The HMS Titanic of stout products” from The Irish Times. "
