Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall seeing the Guinness “proper pour” 119 seconds nonsense in the video. Good, another myth debunked.
That and the belief Guinness is served cellar temp. No, it’s served cold. Another myth busted.

Bobcat Goldthwait (comedian-filmmaker): Kurt was a fan of my stand-up. It’s like finding out that Jimi Hendrix really liked Buddy Hackett. He wanted to meet me. It was before the band had broken. I was in Ann Arbor doing a gig and I think Nirvana was playing the Blind Pig. Kurt wanted to meet me, so he interviewed me on the college radio station, even though we were both guests. It was weird. He’d written a bunch of questions on a paper bag, and it really just digressed to us making fun of the Grateful Dead.
Fuck you Bobcat and KurT!!!

I envision the following practice groups, falling into three main buckets:
Project Financing and Management
- Construction Contracts
- Procurement and Vendor Security
- Financing and Taxation
Compliance and Regulation
- Environmental Compliance
- Course Planning and Development (compliance for construction, contractors, bidding, etc.)
- Data Security and Protection (for our private course clients and for GCA firms with proprietary doodads)
- Investigations (of potential members and potential litigation)
Conflict and Personnel Management
- Endorsement and Compensation (PGA Tour agents and some tax attorneys stashed here)
- Litigation and ADR (as opposed to preemptive compliance work)
- Government Relations (lobbying for more golf)

Took the words right out of my mouth
Amen.
Really just need to let it settle a little bit before topping it off, right?
Always chilled/cold.
Also, anyone else noticing when you cheers someone with a Guinness vs. another beer, it makes an entirely different sound and feels different?

Was only able to take one shot at it last night. Will definitely be giving it another go tonight, and I think I’ll be buying a few pints this time around.
Also we would need a robust recruiting department to handle the mountains of lateral applications

Man now that you mention it, it does. I feel like it’s a much more dull thud than the usual clang. I wonder if it has anything to do with the nitrogen or the head absorbing some of shock.

To be fair, the early 90s was not the greatest period for the Grateful Dead.
But then again, Kurt seems to have been kind of a prick.
Here for this - I’m sure Swinley could use the extra cash generated from seating major international arbitration in the clubhouse.

Could you imagine how much easier it would be to get clients to agree on an arbitration schedule if it meant that they were going to basically have a golf vacation

I’ve always attributed this to drinking out of thicker Guinness glasses (I usually am at a Boston Irish pub and they all have the “standard” glasses.) Never experienced this otherweise.
Please tell me which Boston “irish pubs” you frequent. Serious question.
in my decade stint in Boston, most were fraudulent, to the extent of becoming clubs at night, not even carrying Guinness, and generally just a regular bar with an Irish name. Unless you were in Cambridge, Somerville, or South Boston/Dot on average
some of the better ones: Mr Dooleys, The Burren, Behan (JP), Corrib, Emmetts (can’t remember if that’s more British)
Good call on the glass.

I’ve seen some old fellas in bars over here only ever lifting the glass three times and ordering the next one after the second gulp.
Fascinating, and frightening, to watch.
