Stavrogin Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 just put in "28 Iris Pub Songs" to help start the day on the right foot... Quote
klenke Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 An irish joke (sort of): > A Frog walks into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. > "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." > > Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. > > The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. > > Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. > > The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. > > Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. > > She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." > > She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" > > (you're gonna love this) > > (its a real treat) > > ( a masterpiece) > > The bank manager looks back at her and says... > > "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." > > (You're singing it, aren't you?) Quote
Gripped Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 WhoooHoo! I'm 1/32nd Irish! It's all Orangeman though. <---- Look, it's green! Keep lookin, you catholics, there's no leprechauns out there: leprechaun watch! Quote
Fejas Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Do a little Jig, sing a little song... thro back a half rack of the frothy Guinnes and shots of bushmills.... Did someone say Corned Beef... Baily's and coffee for me this morning ... Drink up tonight Kiddys... The Irish like their booze! Quote
charlesclaassen Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 A little trivia...the reason there's green beer on St. Patrick's day is because traditionally in Ireland, all the properly aged beer was finished off, so to keep the party going, they would break into the "green" immature beer. Quote
bunglehead Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I'll be having a Guinness tonight. Maybe even a Black and Tan. Quote
Double_E Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 A little trivia...the reason there's green beer on St. Patrick's day is because traditionally in Ireland, all the properly aged beer was finished off, so to keep the party going, they would break into the "green" immature beer. green (as in, young) beer is all fine and good when there's nothing else available. but green-colored beer is a fuckin' heresy. (... EVEN if endorsed by a life-sized carboard pic of Kathy Ireland ) probably makes ol' St. Paddy turn in his grave everytime a vat is bottled or kegged. will be at Finn MacCools in the U-District tonight (Uni Way at like 43rd) if anyone wants to share some suds & climbing talk (PM me). wish i coulda made it to PC last night, have only been to two so far... mebbe next week. cheers Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 God gave the Irish whiskey that they would not rule the world. Quote
Gripped Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 God gave the Irish silly accents and a belief in leprechauns that they would not rule the world. Quote
bunglehead Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 "The Pig and the Inebriate" as sung(spoken) by Boys of the Lough. It was the pig fair last September The day I well remember I was walking up and down in drunken pride When my knees began to flutter And I sank down in the gutter And a pig came up and lay down by my side As I lay there in the gutter Thinking thoughts I could not utter I thought I heard a passing lady say You can tell the man who boozes By the company that he chooses And with that the pig got up and walked away Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Today I'm wearing a green polo shirt, green polypro tights, and green shorts. Quote
Bronco Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I believe this sort of generalization of the Irish is discrimination of the worst kind. They don't wear green and get drunk all the time. And it's always noon somewhere so what's the big deal anyway. On behalf of Irish descendants everywhere, I demand reparations paid in...Guinness. Quote
