I heard the greatest saying today, maybe it's old and I just missed it, I don't know. This guy said to someone, "You're all froth and no Guinness."
I'm from the deep south, so my exposure to the northeastern Irish culture is extremely limited, but I thought that was great. It's no 'That dog won't hunt', but it is a dog that will hunt. I love euphemisms, so I'm always on the lookout for new ones to adopt. Trust me, it took months to work 'that's as out of place as a piano at a Church of Christ convention' into a conversation, so just wait; I'll be plenty patient and somebody will get the froth - one day.

Guinness is a favorite in this house. I'll be saving that quote for later.
