Ace is the highest compliment possible. This is steps beyond the seat-saver fake outs. It reminds me of Japanese restaurant window displays where this craft is taken to a high art form.

Would you like to see something otallytay upidstay? I was looking at stats on photos uploaded to Flickr for backup porpoises trying to discern why some good one get hundreds of views, some terribly stupid ones get thousand of views and ace photos get hardly any views at all. This perplexes me. Then I came across this photo sticking out in line, Cheerios breakfast cereal with banana that has 39,063 views. And I simply do no not comprende del mio le voux. It is as stupid as can be, but there you go, that's life.

That is quite a compliment, Chip -- especially from you! Thank you, and I salute you back.
There is something deeply poetic about a pint of Guinness that lasts forever in a state of perfection, completely inaccessible.
I'd add that the pint has heft, like a real Guinness.
Question for the experts: Do you always drink Guinness at room temp or chilled? I'm thinking of adding a light frosting to the outside of the glass to appear "cold." But when was in the old country, people always drank the stuff warm.
Ayup! With old and broad implications, right down the elements! Cool link. Adding more to what already is when it comes to faking and partaking of good and bad. Would make a great company name or logo or reference too.
The story of Tantalus is the origin of the English verb tantalize. When someone is tantalized, they go through something akin to Tantalus' punishment: having something desirable always just out of their reach.
A Tantalus, by an obvious analogy, is also the term for a type of drinks decanter stand in which the bottle stoppers are firmly clamped down by a locked metal bar, as a means of preventing servants from stealing the master's liquor. The decanters themselves, however, remain clearly visible.
The chemical element tantalum (symbol Ta, atomic number 73) is named after the mythological Tantalus; Ekeberg wrote "This metal I call tantalum … partly in allusion to its incapacity, when immersed in acid, to absorb any and be saturated."

I'll buy! I would also like the ketchup spill one if available.
Ace!

Please close my parenthetical clause up there, I forgot it. Here, place this: ")" where appropriate. Thank you.

You don't have to be Irish to be a drunk; in fact, St Paddy's Day is the Irish Cinco De Cuatro.
Another fill-in-the-blank-ethnicity excuse to get plastered.
And a stat from long ago - a majority of Micks had taken the pledge.
A short conversation at a bar --
"What'll you have?"
"A fake plastic Bloody Mary."
"WTF?"

Ah! Nothing new under the sun.
See what I mean?
Might even be one or two other examples out there.
It's possible.
Speaking of beer, I finally got around to having an IPA made with the brettanomyces yeast.
But it wasn't fake.
It was real.
And it was spectacular.

"Sampuru," or fake display, derives from the English word "sample." Odd that, and somehow familiar.

Property staging is all the rage. The fake drinks are festive and alluring. I think you really have something here, Chick.
"But when was in the old country, people always drank the stuff warm."
I think room temp is a common approach. Or basement temp. Wherever the tap is connected.
I drink it chilled, a chilled glass is even better.
In the old country it's cold out most of the time. Who wants a cold drink when you're already wet and cold. And room temp isn't that warm.
Hereabouts it's seemingly always hot and room temp is lukewarm.
And, yes, that's amazing stuff.
That's a good thought, April.

@MamaM: This is my favorite website for the stories behind the names of the chemical elements: link
Found it CL! With a better story than the one on the wiki! Thanks
