Happy St. Patty's day all
No corned beef thusfar in La Paz, but just received this cute story from one of my demented friends.
An Irish drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing.
The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention, but the drunk continues to sit there.
Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall.
The drunk mumbles, 'Ain't no use knockin, there's no paper on this side either.'
And a pleasant day to you all.

Same to you Van. My grandparents were both from County Cork but a few of my friends who know me well often remind me that just because the kittens
were born in the oven, that don't make em bisquits. The Irish like whiskey and I've always favored mezcal.

Goes to show you can take 'em out of Cork but sometimes can't put it back.

I tired of CB&C years ago. It is authentically Irish-American, but it's not Irish.

Some may be surprised that the main meat in Ireland is pork. But that is in fact the easiest animal to raise in most poor rural cultures not
restricted by religion. After all, pigs are omniverous and will eat damn near anything and do not require large grazing lands. But, where such are
available, can be let loose to forage afield and be recalled on command.
We are having leg of lamb with mint jelly tonight, after several "black and tans". These are not to be confused with the British secret police of the
19th century, but refer to 1/2 Guiness stout and 1/2 regular beer, in this case Guiness draft. And of course, potatoEs. Irish 7 course meal=six pack
and a potato.
May ye be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows yer dead
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Same to you Ed.
We had a little get together here in TS. Lots of green stuff, some eadable some not. We washed it down, mind you with plenty of green beer without any
problems (so far).
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Peace and cabbage to all of you. I read the entire thread with an Irish accent, rolling my R's. Shoot, do they roll their R's in Irrrrland?
Anyways, peace to all of you.

Lat 22 Roadhouse was a blast. It seems the whole town was there for Peter Bacon dressed as a leprecan !

"His wife had been killed in an accident and the police were questioning Finnegan.
"Did she say anything before she died?" asked the sergeant.
"She spoke without interruption for about forty years," said the Irishman."
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

You mean the Irish men don't have to interrupt their whiskey drinking with idle banter, just listening, or ignoring.
The latter is the one my wife always accuses me off.
