Resistance proved to be futile in the face of the seemingly never ending
barrage of "Brilliant!" Guinness commercials during televised sporting events,
and elsewhere. So, on a recent visit to the neighborhood purveyor of attitude
enhancements, I added a half dozen bottles of the stuff to the cart. I haven't
tried it yet, but one thing has me very curious: what the hell is that rattling
around in the bottles? A marble? And why? I may have to drink a couple of my
MGDs in order to work up the nerve to open one.
