In honour of St. Paddy's Day: FLAME FEST: If it isn't Irish is sucks

[yvr girl]

Potatoes are better than rice or pasta
Irish Whiskey is so much better than Scotch
Leprechauns rule
One day per year, everyone pretends to be Irish.

[ZenLefty]

1. Beh.

Italian food is the best.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Erin go Braugh!

:D

[truebrit71]

3. I have NEVER pretended to be Irish...

Scottish Whisky is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR superior to the Irish muck,

Leprechauns are low-rent midgets,

and best of all Saint Patrick was BORN IN ENGLAND!!!!!

Cheers!!! Pip!! Pip!!

15. so that's why you took all our potatoes

[truebrit71]

21. Well, we had to make the chips out of something...

Fish and Dirt just doesn't have the same ring to it....

[mark414]

28. ouch

good one

[madrchsod]

4. my ancestors

kicked their asses and gave them the idea of forming cities...watching history channel. i greatest wish is to tour ireland and scandinavian countries before i die..but i`ll settle for the far east coast of canada

[underpants]

5. Anything is better than Scotch

blech!

[tjwmason]

7. You'll burn in hell for that you know

Scotch Whisky is the true nectar of the gods. That you don't like it proves that you are merely a worthless mortal.

That said, I much prefer brandy myself, but gin tops all liquids.

[underpants]

9. Blech!

Furniture polish

[Squeech]

6. Jig

What would you do if the kettle boiled over?
What would you do, only fill it again?
What would you do if the cow ate the clover?
What would you do, only till it again.

The praties are dug and the frost is all over
Can't you roll over, close to the wall
Wouldn't you like to be married to a soldier
Can't you roll over, close to the wall...

In any bar within walking distance, I guarantee, that'll get me a drink. Possibly even handed to me politely, rather than thrown.

8. I'm an American Highlander today, I'm reminded of that fact more than ever

today, yvr girl.

[Beaverhausen]

10. What's Irish and sits outside all summer?

Patty O'Furniture!

[Arkana]

11. Yuck!

There are two kinds of people in this world--Italians and those who WISH they were Italian.

[yvr girl]

14. I'm Irish and Italian

I'm better than all of ya!

(Oddly enough - no Catholics in my family)

[JohnKleeb]

16. How the hell can you not be Catholic?

[yvr girl]

17. Weird I know

My Protestant Italian (right from Rome) great-grandfather found my Protestant Irish great-grandmother and the rest is history.

[JohnKleeb]

18. When did Protestants come to Italy?

Irish-Italian mix though, I think you'll fit in fine in Boston :D.

[yvr girl]

20. I've never heard a good explanation

And Nana and Pop are no longer with us.

Pop was a colourful man. He got tired of being chased by the Coast Guard during prohibition, so he hired them to 'take care of transportation.'

[JohnKleeb]

24. Its just Ive read that Italy is like 99% Catholic

If I had Italian blood, I would have a little bit of every typically Catholic country in my bloodline.

[yvr girl]

25. The exception that proves the rule

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

26. I dunno

Would be funny if you met an English Catholic, I hear those are rare.

[StopTheMorans]

19. nah, you can keep the proclivity for body hair

[yvr girl]

23. I'm part Italian

and have very little body hair, for which I'm glad, cause it doesn't look great on a lady.

[warrens]

12. Scots accent-It's all crrrrrrrrap. NT

[MrSlayer]

13. Nice subject line. Are you drunk already?

St. Patrick was Scottish.

[njdemocrat106]

22. Actually I thought St. Patrick was born in Rome

I could be wrong (and something tells me that I probably am :) ).

[MrSlayer]

27. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia.....

Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 493.

His father was from a prominent Roman family.

[njdemocrat106]

29. Ah, so he had Roman blood.

I think I should get a little credit for remembering Rome (no Poland, though). :)
