Mmmmmmmmmm, pitchers of Guinness ....
This calls for a non-weekday meeting, I daresay.
In a pitiful attempt to bring this into the realm of LEGO rather than just a
personal obsession with the black liquid gold, has anybody made any
Guinness-related LEGO projects? Having been scrambling to make this
lugnet-relevant, I've hit upon the idea of modeling one of the old Guinness
Trucks used to transport the kegs ... maybe make it about 8880 scale? A minifig
one would be cool too ...
*still drooling*
