Funny stuff.<br /><br />And yep, I'm pretty much the only non-xenophobic non-warmonger here. And which one is the nerd and which one is the popular kid? 'Cause Obama tucks his t-shirt into his shorts when he plays basketball, and it's something of a national embarrassment.The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-51883236046304259262010-03-18T03:52:42.110-07:002010-03-18T03:52:42.110-07:00You visited us here, in our grey and miserable isl...You visited us here, in our grey and miserable isle? Good for you, what with 110% of your compatriots not owning passports and the like...<br /><br />Tell me, do they show any of the Patrick's Day meeting between your intelligent and charming president and our glorious caveman 'leader' on the telly over there? It's a yearly event where the most popular kid in school is really nice, just briefly, to the biggest nerd. A kinda John Hughes meets international politics kinda vibe...Domestic Oubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298706907126418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-75423729162660177402010-03-17T14:16:09.546-07:002010-03-17T14:16:09.546-07:00I believe I will join you.

The bar I live at has the Pipe & Drum crew coming through tonight ... usually about 20 bagpipers and drummers in a pretty small place, so you really can't hear yourself think for the next day or so.<br /><br />I remember the teenagers in the streets from my one visit to Dublin, and it wasn't even St. Patrick's Day. Wanting my experience to be as close to authentic as possible, I, of course, joined them.The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-59870383571224199762010-03-17T13:46:12.733-07:002010-03-17T13:46:12.733-07:00Happy St Paddy's Day DA :) I have broken my le...Happy St Paddy's Day DA :) I have broken my lentan promise, as one is allowed to do on Patrick's Day and I am having a beer. And a little drop of wine. And sure the break did begin a few days ago. But, hey, whoes counting. I do hope you'll join us (and especially the drunken teenagers who are hopefully all passed out in their own vomit all over the streets of Dublin by now - a little bit of the tale your history books may have left out) and raise a glass on this, the greenist of days...Domestic Oubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298706907126418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-24259638359149242402010-03-17T08:14:05.149-07:002010-03-17T08:14:05.149-07:00I'm more than a little hurt that you would thi...I'm more than a little hurt that you would think that of me. Sure, I'll throw back a Nochebuena on Cinco de Mayo, walk a picket line on International Worker's Day, and dance a Samba or two during Carnaval, but my heart will always be in dear auld Éire.The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-39224218378919969012010-03-17T07:42:23.561-07:002010-03-17T07:42:23.561-07:00Happy Paddy's day Acorn...
