I saw an ad that said Guinness only has 125 calories. That's less than skim milk. I always heard it was like a loaf of bread in a bottle. Does anyone know why it seems so heavy?

All right, I tried drinking a Guinness every day in 2004. I did well. But what sucked was taking all the pics to post on this site. So, I'm changing this cyber-nook and going to make it a personal tribute to GUINNESS. Stay tuned.

Monday was so much fun, I enjoyed my 13th at work as well.

Enjoyed a pint at work. Again, no luck with the shamrock.

Had the old Yin and Yang with a GDIB. Also picked up a sixer of the Sam Adams cream stout -- it's a lot like Guinness Extra Stout, which is to say: a different bird than Draught.

Went to a watch the game at a co-workers house. Had lots of food and a few Harps, but no GUINNESS. So had to come home and enjoy a GDIB by myself.

Went to dinner thinking I'd have one and guess what: no black. So I had a GDIB when I gots home.

A technological innovation: the picture (in this case my 8th GUINNESS of the year) is now on TOP of the text. Amazing.

Belated company holiday party affords me the perfect chance to...you guessed it...enjoy a GUINNESS. The venue was a dance club, so it was GDIB for me again. I followed it with a couple RED STRIPES -- surprisingly good with Chinese food.

Didn't have a GUINNESS until 11:00pm tonight. Dangerously close.

Had a pint at work. Poured it poorly. Tried to make a shamrock and failed. One of the many reasons why I shouldn't tend bar. (That and my paralyzing fear of olives.)

Tonight, I dined at home. All is good. With one exception, my sixer of GUINNESS Draught in a Bottle has a lame plastic carrier. I liked the cardboard six pack and I'd hate to kill a seagull with my waste. But so long bird boy, I'm not taking this one back.

I ordered a pint a the original Vazzy's in Stratford Connecticut. Sure it was GUINNESS Draught in a Can. Sure it came in a Bud glass. Sure it wasn't perfectly poured. But it did come with a huge basket of cheese bread and grinder the size of my head. So I can't complain.

After my first and highly unsuccessful attempt at snowboarding, I soothed my aching bones, joints, tendons and semi-pulled groin with a pint of Black at Village Green restaurant in the Farmington Marriott Hotel in Farmington, CT. 50 Cent is reportedly a resident of this town. I did not see him. Luckily, since we got beef.

I had a GUINNESS Draft in Bottle with dinner (pizza and a salad -- or the old yin and yang). Oh yeah, I also came up with this idea. So that was nice.
