Before

The Black Velvet is a traditional concoction made of one part Guinness stout and one part of some lesser drink, such as Mo?

    Why would you want to drink diluted Guiness?

    My thought exactly! I think it’s a fly guy thing Beach Bum. You know they like all that wine and cheese stuff, classical music, and they even know how to read! You know, so civilized and all. But to ruin a great Guinness? Time for someone to stand before the mast! :-o

    Dunno’, seems like its time for Quervo or Corona or even a fine bottle of Conch Republic Rum for me! Leave all that finer fare to those that can appreciate it! Heh!

  • Oh, it’s only one night/year!

    M’self, have just now zipped up the pistol rug and locked it and am now free to Drink Moar. Am already too messed up to figure out how to work the autoloader. Must rely on the deppities for protection, but that’s kool, the jail and courthouse being less than a 1/4 mile away.

    I’m exaggerating a bit, of course, but not much. I have locked up the piece so as to get more of a fecal visage without risking lives.

    P.s. Have just now removed the box with autoloader in it beyond easy drunken reach.

    Don’t worry, folks, the deppities around here are scary badasses 3/8 my age, and twice my size

    Well my goodness Lex, I read this post after just returning from the liquor store (or what passes for one, here in Naptown) with some Guiness and some “lesser drink” (Way lesser than then Moet, but, hey, you know, something to work toward).

    Really, it is a fine drink, though I confess that those who might have a problem with “doctoring” the finest drink ever… they have a point well worth making…

    Next year, I promise, it will be Guiness straight up!

    (Unless we can get some of that White Star!)

    It’s mother’s milk for me today, straight. And I can have as many as I want since the party is at home this year.

    Black and Tans go down well, but on another night.

    Happy New Year, everybody.

    Ahh! the drink of Beau James when he wrote, “Will You Love Me in December (as you do in May)?”
    Happy New Year to All!

    Great New Years banner at the top. Happy New Year all.

  • Happy New Year, Lex!
    And to the Lex Lugs and the ladies, as well.

    Whatever your poison of choice may be. Cheers!

    Happy New Year, all.

    Lex, may New Year’s Eve 2008 have you looking back on happy family times and a smooth and satisfying transition to civilian employment.

    Happy New Year, Lex, the Babes and the Peckerheads! …and although it’s already tomorrow there, Happy New Year, unkawill!

    Happy New Year, Lex and Clan … and Lex Babes and other, hairier shipmates. Drink up, whatever your tipple. We wish you a great year.

    Being as we’re tottery and on a limited income sort of, the days of wine, roses, Taittinger Blanc de Blanc and black net stockings are long gone for us. However, there’s a tasty substitute called Prosecco, a sparkling wine made by those clever Italians, and just mild enough for our tottery feet to get us safely to bed afterwards.

    Thank you Lex for delighting us with a year’s worth of splendid thoughts. Please keep on writing. And keep writing for us.

    Best wishes to you all for a wonderful 2008!

    I’m with you, Retread, going for that pure one right now.

    Lex-

    I have a recipe for steak and Guinness pie if you’re interested. It’s actually quite good. I took one to the music festival I was camping at over new years and it was well received.

  • Roachman

    Cap’n,

    Don’t order a Black and Tan in a true Irish establishment. You’ll want a half-n-half, Guinness on top of Harp.

    Cheers to all, and Happy New Year!

  • It’s a good thing I locked the pieces away from me last night, as the overhead neighbor had some kind of drunken baboon party which woke me around 0200 and continued well into the forenoon. Before it was over, I was thinking evil thoughts about Saiga 12-gauge autoloaders, with big drum magazines. You can buy those, you know.

    F@#ker didn’t even invite me, too!
