Bill,
I had foolishly told the bartendress to give me a glass of Guinness and pour in a liberal dose of Jameson and a wee bit of Bailey's. Gods, it curdled and turned a sickly brown, with this nasty nuggeted foam on top; looked like a Waitwatcher chocolate malt. It tasted even worse.
The waitress, a young miss, generally courteous and deferential to my regular stature at my favorite spot for comestibles and liquids, The Red Anchor, came over and whilst she was splitting a gut over watching me trying to, in a manly way, force that devil's brew down my gullet, explained, through gails of her discourteous laughter, the proper way of mixing a "car bomb". It was as you described. My reputation took a sever blow over the incident. Being laughed at by two rednecks and a floozy drinking Miller Lite, for god's sake, were having quite a time at my expense. Oh, the humanity!!
Never again will I befoul a glass of Guinness or a fine Catholic Jameson's by mixing them together, especially with Bailey's.
Gewher,
RedBreast, hmmmmm. At my exalted age, $40.00 for a fine Catholic whiskey is a small price to pay for a distinguished piece of the auld sod. I'll have to start looking around and see if I can find a bottle.
