Gary has just tagged me with a new meme he has just made up. So anyway, I’ve just bought Gary a Guinness, a good start to Friday night. Cheers!
Here are the rules:
1. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to signup for a PayPal business account so that you can receive payments. It only takes a few minutes to sign up.
2. If you have a blog, either install Ankesh Kothari’s Buy Me a Beer plugin on your wordpress blog, or paste some variant of the code below into an appropriate place. If you don’t have a blog, you can still participate by including a version of this code that points to your PayPal account in a comment on this post:
<form name="beerexchangememe"
action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
target="paypal" method="post">
<input
type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[your PayPal account email]" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Beer Exchange" />
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$4" />
<a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=[your
PayPal account email]&amount=$4&item_name=Beer+Exchange+Meme"
target="paypal">Buy Me a Beer</a>
</form>
3. Work through the comments on this post and follow each of the links to buy a beer for each of the commenters on this post, and then add your own to the end. If you don’t like beer, then a glass of wine or a cup of coffee is fine too. Just like when you go to the pub, arriving early means you buy a smaller round, and then reap the benefits of a beer from everyone else that arrives after you.
4. Feel free to tag your friends, and have them join in too
5. When you’ve collected enough beer for a serious session of drinking, have someone photograph or video the proceedings and post the results back to your blog.
Although, link do not appear to work when posting in my comments, I will edit them so that the links work. Hmm, ‘collected enough for a serious session of drinking’, that wouldn’t be much for me then.
I’m not sure how well this will go, but I’ll tag David at Creative Design, Derek at Derek Semmler dot com and Sean at Sean-Dinner.com. You got a link even if I don’t get a drink.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the Guinness! I just got back from a weekend of drinking and mountain boarding (not necessarily in that order… probably, but not necessarily) and was pleasantly surprised to have that pint waiting for me 🙂
Good luck with the meme. It’ll be interesting if it does take off, I just hope I don’t end up with more than my usual dozen daily pints to sink, or the photo’s will be embarassing indeed! LOL
I wondered what this was all about, I’d seen those tags on other blogs and was like WTF? lol.
Thanks for the tag! 😀 I’d really love to join in, but I really have to start saving/managing my money to actually put towards my student loan and other things, even if it is only $4, I gotta save it 😛 lol.
Hi guys,
Sorry for the slow reply, my new comment system is causing chaos by not letting me know when I have comments, so I only just found these.
Just a bit of fun on a Friday, so I didn’t expect it to go far.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Regards,
Ian
