HAPPY ST.PATTY'S DAY!!!

[FreeTheArmy]

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!
Be sure to drink lots of dark beer and whiskey!
Everyone's Irish today...
so listen to the Pogues and the Dubliners, bless the IRA, and eat plenty of lamb, potatoes, and cabbage.

Tis the season of Erin!

Buy your mother a beer

Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.

'Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'

I'm off to go drink some green beer!

Sorry I love the Irish and know that in many cases the English have done them wrong; I will bless everyone else but the IRA, (at least the provisional IRA.) Fighting an honest war is one thing but I don't go in for terrorism.

I agree with Catavengercaptain. I wasn't going to say anything but had to comment on the IRA. I will also castigate the British for their treatment of the Irish over the centuries.

I hope you all were safe last night... didn't drink and drive; wore your seat belts; and took other precautions were appropriate (i.e. CONDOMS)
I'm still a little drunk, but I gotta be at a wedding in four hours so... big breakfast, big coffee, lots of water.

Sorry to offend anyone about the IRA...
In my defense:
we all have certain folks that we respect for different reasons. the use of violence against anyone other than in self-defense, is wrong. -a child knows that. my respect for the Óglaigh na hÉireann is in reguards to the response to British occupation and murder in Derry Ireland between 1968 and 1972. The story of "Free Derry" as it became known, is one not-unlike the stories of the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and so on. what came about in the following decades, with offensive attacks, was of course, completely inappropriate (in my eyes -as a spectator/history enthusiast). Nationalism as was desired by the people of Free Derry, was not racial/ethnic/religious supremacy; it was a desire for civil rights and self-governance. -a child can respect that. but perhaps i could have said all that, instead of just, "bless the IRA."

Cheers!

LOL! I hope I can remember that line until next year!

I missed posting it before 3/17, but this is an awesome scene from Miller's Crossing, which has nothing to do with St. Patrick's day, but does feature an Irish song and an Irish gangster and features a Tommy Gun
