There Will Be Milkshakes!

I am going to watch the Oscar-nominated film "There Will Be Blood" this weekend. We both know I'm gonna be yelling "I drink your milkshake!" before the credits roll, so...

What better beverage to accompany it than the long-lost, oft-forgotten, limited-time-only Shamrock Shake? Since Daniel Day-Lewis is Irish, I thought it was the right thing to drink... and besides, I don't like Guiness.

Since I've never had the --er -- pleasure of tasting one before, my tastebuds are quivering in fear and anticipation. What is it, exactly? The strange luminous green colour? The odd smell? The fact is was introduced in the 70s by a green, Irish relative of Grimace's - namely Uncle O'Grimacey, who only came over once a year to deliver this delicacy to his purple nephew?

It's altogether an odd combination, and no one knows for sure, not even the McEmployees, if it is just a Vanilla shake dyed green, or actually Mint flavoured. One sip is not conclusive enough.

I'll let you know after both the Milkshake and the movie are over.
