Guinness and Harp is called an Arnold Palmer? What weird-ass, golf-obessed part of the world does THAT?
I thought that was a Black & Tan?
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Not everyone calls it that.
What's your Arnold Palmer-ized version of a half and half?

What's your Arnold Palmer-ized version of a half and half?
half sweet lemonade, half unsweetened iced tea
It was the standard beverage at the WASPy summer place I worked at in Maine. And has been for a long time. Before any golfer got involved anyways.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Black and tan" has unfortunate historical issues -- for some people -- with the British forces sent into Ireland in the (IIRC) 1920s to bust some Irish ass (the forces were nicknamed "Black and Tans").
I did not know that!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
with the British forces sent into Ireland in the (IIRC) 1920s to bust some Irish ass (the forces were nicknamed "Black and Tans").
I always assumed that was where the name of the drink came from in the first place.
[edit: But Wikipedia says it's the other way around, which I did not know!]

To avoid that, the drink is often called a half and half.
No, those are different. Black & Tan has Harp, Half & Half has Bass. (Or the other way? I can never remember.)
Urban Dictionary is taking Eric Cartman as an authoritative source?

Huh.

See, I thought it was from an uncreative bartender who went, "Guinness is black and Harp is tan...what should we call it?"

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

Ok, and Urban Dictionary says roshambo is when two guys kick each other in the balls until one of them falls over.
How sad is that? Man fights in the American Revolution and all he gets is a kick in the balls?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is this a turns-based game? Or is it in real-time?
