You only shot pictures of WHAT?
Blog Guy, how's Oktoberfest shaping up this year, if you take my meaning? You know, those Bavarian women tend to wear some pretty risqué outfits over there, huh?
Boy, I'll say. For your convenience, our photo people have put together this combo shot, showing cleavage of the visitors wearing traditional Dirndls.

Foster’s gets full measure from SABMiller
By Quentin Webb
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
Like two quarrelsome drunks who are suddenly best of friends, SABMiller and Foster’s Group have quickly patched things up after earlier hostilities.

Hey, that sounds nice. Where will you be staying?

Blog Guy, you used to do a better job of covering really stupid sports. Isn't that still a part of your beat?

When life is just a beer commercial…
Advertising staff, today we're here to honor Lamar, whose work on the Guinness Stout account has been pure genius!
Gosh, thanks, Boss. You're much too kind...
Not at all, Lamar. Who would have thought you could get photos of Barack and Michelle Obama, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip boldly showing Guinness Stout, all in less than a week?

It’s called the sport of kings, your majesty
Blog Guy, you haven't written much about Britain's royal family since the big wedding. Please fill us in on their activities this week.
Well, Queen Elizabeth, who loves horses, watched the Preakness. Here she is enjoying the thrilling spectacle, smiling because she's happy to see a woman jockey in the lead.
