St Patrick's Day Blarney

Greetin's From Maine
Irish Factoids:
1) Did St Patrick really drive those snakes out of Ireland.
2) If leprechauns really exist, then does that pot of gold at the end of the raindow also exist.
3) The Harp is the symbol of Ireland, not the four leaf clover.
4) Corned Beef & Cabbage is not the official Irish meal on St Patricks Day; its Shepard's Pie and Guiness.
5) Killians Irish Red ale is made in the US.
6) More than a million people each year kiss The Blarney Stone (yuck).
7) Druidry is still officially recognized in Ireland (I though KT would like that one).
English is not the langauge of Ireland, it is Gaelic. (So
Pog Mo Thoin everyone).
9) It may be The Emerald Isle, but over 80% of the Irish tallied hate the color green.
10) More people of Irish descent live in America now as of the laest census pole than in Ireland (go figure)
11) The world's largest St. Patrick's Day parade is held in New Yor City.
12) The Brick gives out FREE Guiness, Bass, and Fish & Chips all day on March 17th. (YAY!)

Being Irish I know that's wrong.
The official Irish meal for every day of the year is a Baked Potato and a six pack.
Hahaha

Aside from Bert's GREEN humor, but what else would you expect from a turtle.
Seriously though, CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE was made a delicacy by Irish imigrants right here in the US. Over in IRELAND, which I am hoing to visit one day (preferably with Cee once Khavik is dead), the meal of the day there is Sheapard's Pie followed by a pint of frothy Guiness or Bass.

You know what the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral is, right?

Once they're out of alcohol you bury someone at the funeral

Yea, basically -1 drunk at the party.
But even that is not guaranteed.

I wonder if leprechauns eat Luck Charms?
I wonder who gets more women; Santa's elves or leprechauns?
I wonder if Nain Rouge celebrates St Patrick's Day?
I wonder if he was one of the snakes that got chased out?
Have you ever had a Irish Car Bomb?
Have you ever made a Irish Car Bomb (yes Bert, that directed at you
)
What caused the potato famine?
Is there realy a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Can leprechauns still get on Space Mountain?
Can you outdrink a Irishman on St Patrick's Day
Can you outdrink a Irishwoman werewolf bartender on St Patrick's Day (again directed at you Bert).
If you can drink more than 4 Black Rabbits you got me beat
Have a Happy St Patrick's Day.

Depends on your definition What caused the potato famine?
A potato blight infesting the crops on top of the nobility taking all the food for themselves so the peasants lost their cut.Can you outdrink a Irishman on St Patrick's Day
Everyone is Irish on St. Patty's DayCan you outdrink a Irishwoman werewolf bartender on St Patrick's Day (again directed at you Bert).

There is no such thing as one quarter Irish anything; you are either the full pint or a black & tan.
Sides Shades, with all those quarters in ya' you could fund a laundrymat for the next 10 years

I never hung around bars much til I entered the Service, usually because whomever I happened to be serving with would forcibly carry me to a bar because I spent too much time reading Technical Manuals

Now that I' safe at home, I couldn't agrre with you more Kolya. I know Kelly personally
and I can tll ya, she's had her fair share of flings.
But she is really into Bert,
or should I say it was vise versa
and from what I know, those were-babes, they mate for life so watch out Bert.
