Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ben & Jerry's may have made a bad marketing decision of they want to sell this in Ireland

Does black and tan mean something different there? In Jamaica it's slang for a sort of banana, but I think people will work it out.

I have a friend who makes custom clothing - perhaps you should pimp his services at krav?

You know, I think you sent me an e-mail about this yonks ago, and I have it saved somewhere. I might bring it up. I'm pretty sure lots of hard-core kravvers have various proportion problems.

'Cause of the political thing?

Do they have the black & tan beers (stout poured over pale ale so as to layer it) in Ireland anyway? Because that slang has been around (here) for years, referring to the beer combo style. And it looks like that's what the B&J flavor is sending up.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

The name "Black and Tan" is a reference to a famously brutal regiment of pro-British paramilitaries active in Ireland in the 1920's.

Aha. Since Black & Tan never fails to put me in mind of Guinness, I figured that's what it meant there too.

Tom, HA! I was JUST coming in here to post that exact link.

We should go out sometime.

the entry also answered my question if the Irish drink the black & tans.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Google tells me that the beer drink was named after the mismatched uniforms of the paramilitaries.

Oop. My [link] was to the entry on the historical black and tans.

This [link] is to the drinkstorical black and tan.

That ice cream sounds good though. Disturbing allusions to imperialism aside.

Why is it I can go weeks and weeks with nary a plan then all of a sudden everyone and everything wants to happen on one day, and that's just not possible?

Beer ice cream. Ew. That sounds like something designed specifically so that I will never ever consume it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I bought the Black & Tan ice cream for Dave the other day. I never got around to having any myself, but he said it was good.
