Yes. It's available in bottles, cans, and on tap. If I'm not

Yes, that rings a vague bell.

No dear, you're dead wrong:
AI Overview
Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, is a holiday for expressing love and affection through gifts like flowers, chocolates, and cards, with roots in the veneration of Christian saints named Valentine and potentially linked to the Roman festival of Lupercalia. Traditions include giving "valentines," elaborate gifts, and marriage proposals, with ancient legends of St. Valentine secretly marrying couples forbidden by an emperor, solidifying his role as the patron saint of lovers.
Origins and History
St. Valentine: The day honors one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentinus, with the most popular legend involving a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II by marrying soldiers in secret.
Lupercalia: Some scholars link it to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia (mid-February), a fertility celebration that involved pairing people by lottery, though the connection is debated.
Romantic Association: The link to romantic love emerged during the High Middle Ages with the flourishing of courtly love traditions.
Traditions and Celebrations
Gifts: Common gifts include flowers (especially red roses), chocolates, confectionery, and jewelry.
Cards: People exchange cards, often called "valentines," featuring hearts, Cupid, and romantic messages.
Acts of Love: It's a popular day for marriage proposals, weddings, and romantic dinners.
School Activities: Children often exchange homemade valentines and candy with classmates.
Modern Interpretations
While a significant day for couples, some view it as overly commercialized. It's also celebrated by some as a day for self-love, family, or friendship.

Same will the Allah Akbar murderer no-show when ambulance arrived,
poured out of nowhere when two tourist were holding him down with a
milk crate?
The banning of milk crates was not actually reported by media.
Our company had a few thousand employees on site and provided
employees with delivered milk in crates.
The circular came from our milk provider for our notice boards.
The next day?

No dear, you're dead wrong:
AI Overview
Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, is a holiday for
expressing love and affection through gifts like flowers,
chocolates, and cards, with roots in the veneration of Christian
saints named Valentine and potentially linked to the Roman
festival of Lupercalia. Traditions include giving "valentines,"
elaborate gifts, and marriage proposals, with ancient legends of
St. Valentine secretly marrying couples forbidden by an emperor,
solidifying his role as the patron saint of lovers. Origins and
History St. Valentine: The day honors one or more early Christian
martyrs named Valentinus, with the most popular legend involving
a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II by marrying soldiers in
secret. Lupercalia: Some scholars link it to the ancient Roman
festival of Lupercalia (mid-February), a fertility celebration
that involved pairing people by lottery, though the connection is
debated. Romantic Association: The link to romantic love emerged
during the High Middle Ages with the flourishing of courtly love
traditions. Traditions and Celebrations Gifts: Common gifts
include flowers (especially red roses), chocolates,
confectionery, and jewelry. Cards: People exchange cards, often
called "valentines," featuring hearts, Cupid, and romantic
messages. Acts of Love: It's a popular day for marriage
proposals, weddings, and romantic dinners. School Activities:
Children often exchange homemade valentines and candy with
classmates. Modern Interpretations While a significant day for
couples, some view it as overly commercialized. It's also
celebrated by some as a day for self-love, family, or
friendship.
So it's not just a greeting card holiday.

Ireland's symbol is the shamrock.
With vats of green beer.
Not that it's green, but I wouldn't mind a pint of Guinness every now
and then. It's been at least 20 years.
They have an alcohol free version now and it's quite good.
Enter the very oldfashioned fire-breathing Matron
who said "You WILL drink it for baby" and stood over me
until I did. By the end of the week I still didn't like
Guinness, and gave birth to a 10 pound baby.

Many years ago Heineken introduced its alcohol free beer, called
Buckler. A comedian on national Dutch TV introduced the term "Buckler
dick" for men he didn't like. It became part of everyday language,
Buckler sales tanked and Heineken took the brand off the market.

Uggghhh...carbonated molasses.Most folks have heard of the Black & Tan. One problem. Harp is
pretty bad. Most haven't heard of the Black & White. It's 3 parts
Michelob Ultra, and 1 part Guinness Extra Stout. Much better, and low
in carbs (for a beer).
The food was high calorie, high protein, and absolutely
delicious; three large meals a day plus "snacks",lots of
home baking and milk drinks. We were stuffed like turkeys
for Christmas. At 9 pm every evening, a crate of Guinness
came to the ward. I declined because I didnt drink any
alcohol when pregnant. Or like Guinness.
Enter the very oldfashioned fire-breathing Matron
who said "You WILL drink it for baby" and stood over me
until I did. By the end of the week I still didn't like
Guinness, and gave birth to a 10 pound baby.

Yes, John drinks it.
Many years ago Heineken introduced its alcohol free beer, called
Buckler. A comedian on national Dutch TV introduced the term "Buckler
dick" for men he didn't like. It became part of everyday language,
Buckler sales tanked and Heineken took the brand off the market.
I suppose that's better than whiskey dick. Now they
call it Heineken-< 0.0, it's like taking a shower with a
rain coat on.

Has it been tariffed yet, the way Irish alcohol has been as far back as 2029?! both green and non green?
Would it be a Good move to do so, since Trump supporters around here only drink Pabst blue ribbon anyway?

Bang Sugar Bang. After the set, I ordered a pitcher, and made short
order of it. I took a cab home that night. I didn't drink for ~48 hours before shows, with the idea that it made me angry. It did.

Himself. He can't handle criticism. Starts screaming, name calling,
throwing body parts around. Typical narcissism.
