Not sure about the branding on the glassware for Basement Beer 😂

The whole thing is so depressing. The *noise* of it all is completely out of keeping with the actual role that's up for election. Bring back the presidents who were little more than constitutional furniture.

As kids we're taught how spiders catch their prey and wrap it in webbing before tucking in. Well, I just watched ol' Seven Legs here slurp down a fruitfly in one go, like spaghetti. No crumbs. #nature
The very big spider who now owns my kitchen window.

10 Cloverfield Lane? I wasn't sure if it gets classified as horror, but Wikipedia thinks it is.

Since you have Beetlejuice, maybe other Henry Selick stuff, like Monkeybone, or [cancelled author asterisk] Coraline.

It's not Fibbers-specific, I reviewed it here: thebeernut.blogspot.com/2025/05/rock...
Rock lager
Who's up for some tenuously-connected lagers? Of course you are. It's probably better to think of these as a random cross-section rather tha...

Well... I knew about Godot before I moved to Dublin and went to SB's alma mater where loads of stuff is named after him. But I don't think he's really part of the popular canon of Irish playwrights because he didn't write much about Ireland. He doesn't belong to the people like say Joyce or Synge.

*other dead porter brewers are available.
The tomb of Alexander Findlater, founder of the Mountjoy Brewery, in the same cemetery. Erratum to the previous post's alt text: by "Arthur Lee" I meant Arthur Edward. Arthur Lee was his uncle, who doesn't appear in the Netflix show.

Sadly, I agree with you both here. His reaction is valid though the ticket price isn't. BUT, like Hamlet, Godot is a cultural artifact. I knew what sort of thing it was before I ever saw it. I can quote Hamlet, though I've never seen it. (No spoilers please.) Dude shoulda known.

#HouseOfGuinness: Where Are They Now?
The Guinness family vault in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin. Actually, only Benjamin Lee Sr and Anne from the show are buried here. Arthur Lee is in Raheny and Edward Cecil at Elveden. I can't find where Benjamin Lee Jr is buried, but presumably somewhere in England since that's where he lived.

I have an automatic internal find-replace: when someone says "challenging" I hear it, correctly I believe, as "difficult". Difficulty is a weird taboo.

"Potemkin Disneyland" is a great name for a pastry stout.
