Guinness, Guiness, Guineii. And other stuff...
I've just got a few random comments for today.Beer labels: Does any beer exist in the world that doesn't feature one of these on their logo:
- wheat sheafs
- stars
- coat of arms
- crown
On a similar theme, what is the best beer logo in the world? Does any beer feature all of those?
Guinness: Are all my friends either Guinness drinkers or gay? No offense to either of course, you're my friends, but it seems that everyone I know is either gay or drinks Guinness, and I'm neither. Everyone I know seems to fall into one category or the other. If you drink Guinness and you're gay I'd love to hear from you.
Guinness: If you're one of my Guinness drinking friends and I offer to take you out for a few pints is it acceptable to say "Fancy coming for a few Guinnei?" Is that the plural of Guinness? I've always said it, and people seem to know what I mean, but a quick google search shows that it's obviously not a popular term.
Guinness: (I'm not being sponsored by them I promise!) I only just this second realised that Guinness has two n's. I've had to go back through the post thusfar and correct every spelling. Guiness looks fine to me, I think the world is wrong and I'm right...
Friends and family: None of my friends know about this blog. Is it normal to be 100% anonymous? A couple of them know I've started writing a blog but I've only mentioned it to the non-computer people because I know they wouldn't have a clue about how to start finding it. Even TT, my partner, doesn't know I've started writing this even though I know about hers. Anyone else doing it in secret?
Anonymous blogs: I wonder how long this will stay anonymous for? I've already started getting random results from google searches and stuff. TT's blog is really popular and read by loads of people. I wonder how long it will be before someone that reads hers stumbles across mine and puts 2 and 2 together. I don't care though, it's almost part of the experiment. Anyone had someone "undesirable" discover their blog?
Finally: I know from reading other blogs that bullet points are bad, but hey, I'd rather post regular than wait until something exciting happens to write about. That's my form of an apology for this "almost bullet point" post.
[Just thought of something else equally pointless, only 30 seconds after posting]
Zits: I've got a huge zit on the back of my neck, right where it's visible. Why does God, My Genes, or Something Else curse me with zits even though I'm beyond puberty age? What bollocks. Pass the Clearasil someone....

ooh! ooh! I'm gay and drink Guinness! YAY! Love the stuff... although I don't order it too often here in the States because it doesn't taste the same as it does in the UK.
My blog is semi-anonymous. John knows I keep one, but doesn't know the address (I think). My parents don't know about it at all! I can only imagine what my mother would think knowing that I, on occasion, broadcast intimate details about my sexlife around the world. Most of my friends in DC have the address, though. Whether or not they choose to read it is an entirely different matter.
Sorry about the zit. One day my cousin and I were commiserating about our zits and I thought, "Shouldn't there be some period of time where one is zit free and before wrinkles and hair loss begins?"
apparently not. *sigh*
*smooches*
ps. care to share TT's blog address? or do I have to try to find it on my own?

Trust you to instantly prove me wrong about the Guinness VUBOQ! Glad it's enjoyed by everyone though. Have you tried it recently? It used to have the reputation of "not travelling" but they seem to have overcome that now. I drink it in Australia regularly and can't tell the difference between there and Dublin anymore.
The only people that know about my blog are people local to here, but I make a point of not mentioning where "here" is on my blog so even if they suddenly took an interest in computers they probably wouldn't have a clue how to find it.
And ditto for TT's blog. Although it's hugely popular I doubt anyone would be able to find it from anything I say on here!
Cheers for the comments mate. I done the meat free monday thing again today, is it still running, even on holidays? Here's my first intro to Meat Free Mondays on VUBOQs site...
Not many American beers have crowns...only Bud IIRC...and thats because it is supposedly the "king". GIve me a nice IPA or porter or a Guinness anyday thanks....
Oskar: I suppose it's my fault; I should have been more specific and said "lagers" rather than beers. What's a porter?
GAH! I forgot to do a meat-free monday post. thanks for the reminder. it's up now.
*smooch*
