Guinness! Monday! Drink!
US President Barr(y)ak O' Bama, is currently in Ireland visiting the ole' sod, and making sure that Queen Elizabeth didn't wreck the place after her visit.
He was whisked through Dublin at top speed, to his "family homeland" of Moneygall. While he was there, by proxy, he became a member of the exclusive International Guinness Monday club. He joins a very select group of people. he made sure he had a few good pints of the black schtuff. He could have become a member of the Guinness Monday Club...if he invited either myself, Cap'n Huggett, or Jim K....but he lost out. No pin for him!
I hope he enjoyed his pint of the black stuff! You can see all the EPA pool photos of Mr. O' Bama's visit here.
Sláinte Barry!

If you have had a Guinness Monday event, http://www.guinnessmonday.com/static.php?page=sendusphotos" class="externlink">let us know.
One of the best things about Guinness, other than the flavour of course, is their television advertisments.
Over their 80-year marketing history, they have won a number of awards. Also, the price of the ads has gone up over the years. The Guinness “Tipping Point” ad for example, cost EUR15M.
English director Jonathan Glazer, has directed 3 aclaimed advertisments for Guinness, Surfer, Swim Black, Dream Club.
We are going to try and archive, or at least link to every Guinness ad that is present on the Internet, for the pleasure and benefit of our esteemed members.
We will try and post an advertisment every few days.
We hope you enjoy them!
Nothing added, but time.
“Actress Penelope Cruz has confessed that she’s in love with the Irish stout—Guinness.
The […] star has revealed that she’s a big Guinness fan, but gets tipsy after a single serving only.
Quoting Ms. Cruz, “I really like Guinness. I always drink it straight from the bottle. I have a lot of Irish friends and they introduced me to it. Although I like it if I have one I'’m drunk!”.
A pint of Guinness, and a hang sangich.
Words are not needed. I am not sure about the shaking, but definately the best way to share a Guinness.
Enjoy!
