Just watched Papelbon do his dance a few times during the "Rolling Rally"...way too much time on my hands at work lately...thank God he was fully clothed!!! Rumor is he may wear a kilt for the last dance...hopefully we don't find out what real men wear under their kilts !!!

Okay gents, I took one for the team and actually attended some of the parade. It was tough but someone had to do it. There was probably a 3:2 ratio of women to men and they all seemed to be under 30.....damn, why didn't the Sox do this when I was young and available.
I watched the end of the parade at the intersection of Boylston and Tremont street for those who know the area. It was insane! Couldn't see the players but the atmosphere made up for it.
Perfect weather today. 60°, clear sky, there was even a sky-writer spelling out "Red Sox" in the crystal clear blue sky. Best day in Boston in a long time - almost made me forget how much it sucks here the rest of the time.

All I have to say about Guinness is
When I went to Germany I had Dunkles Double Bock and that stuff was great..
I looked for it in the US but couldn't find it (probably not the same anyway).
Then someone told me about Guinness triple stout.. They said it was good like I was describing the Dunkles. So I tried it...
Well I took 1 sip and gave the rest of the 6-pack to my father..
That stuff was horrible..
All I could think of was that they washed a load of socks and underwear in the pot before they made the beer...
Needless to say bring on the Boston lager..

Guinness Draught is a whole different animal. For a long time Guinness Draught was not readily available over here as it takes a special tap setup - it pumps nitrogen through tiny holes as it's being tapped. But a few years ago they developed these cans (and now bottles) with a little nitrogen charged capsule inside which does the same basic thing as the special tap. So now you can get Guinness Draught here. Plus there as more and more places around that have it on tap.
The "widget" cans are not quite as good as the real stuff, but they are pretty darn good. If you like stout, there's nothing better than a Guinness (that's why they Drop Kick Murphy's!) Nothing else will do!
