It's the day all the amateur drinkers go out and re-prove their amateur status.

We're all green for the day, except the grumps, the ladies in pink, and the gadflies. No, don't ask me to change those too. That would remind me of work!

Well, for this I am glad. Not because I have some Irish blood in me, but because I crave absolute power. Like Orly, I keep a list of people who through their competence in doing their jobs, dared to intrude on my childish fantasies. And just like Orly, when given an opportunity to exercise power, I reveal my true Stalinist inclinations where I don't just need people who disagree with me to lose a political battle, but desire their absolute destruction.

Now where's that "make sex scandal occur to detract from Obama's usurpation" button? My enemies list isn't getting any shorter.

Happy St. Pat's!

Scots-Irish-Dutch here, so I come by the red hair honestly. ;)

Supposedly, my maternal grandmother Haley was born on a ship coming over from Ireland in 1899. She always said her father was the captain of that ship, but Grandma wasn't famous for her factual accuracy.

If anyone needs some Irish for the day, I can lend some. I'm not blue-eyed, freckled and curly red-haired by coincidence! Half of me comes straight from County Donegal. I think its the top half.

I'm 100% German as far back as we can trace so I can't claim any Irish blood. I do, however, like cabbage, corned beef and soda bread so that has to earn me some points. I forgot to mention green is my all time favorite color! \:D/ \:D/

I lose Irish points for not liking any of them. But I can eat my considerable weight in mashed potatoes.

Kindle Daily Deal: The Irish Americans $0.99

Intense scenes of ships fleeing Ireland's potato blight, the vibrant lives of big-city Catholic parishes, and the raucous world of machine politics punctuate this narrative of Irish American life by Jay P. Dolan, a leading immigration scholar. Dolan's colorful history stands as the most comprehensive work of its kind.


Happy, happy :mrgreen:

What a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Being a green obot for the day makes me feel so totally buff and powerful. :mrgreen:

Thanks Foogie.

Thanks addy! My kindle is right next to me. Gonna buy it now.

Doing my genealogy I have discovered an Irish ancestor who left Donegal, went to the Pennsylvania coal mines, enlisted in the army, fought at Gettysburg and Petersburg then came back to the mines. Never did learn to read and write. I wonder sometimes if his life in America actually was a better life.

Addy, thank you for the perfect research book! I've taken my story in a somewhat different direction and part of it involves immigration from Ireland and shipwreck. Class starts in three weeks!! \:D/

It seems wrong to be green to me.

I'm one of those people who get peeved at all of the "Irish for a day" people.

I'm Irish everyday (well, 3/4 Irish to be precise) and I intentionally wear orange on St. Patrick's day every year. It happens to be one of my favorite colors, so I have a lot more orange clothes than green anyway.

Join the Gadflies for a day. They're orange. Then you can unjoin tomorrow. And Muckey could leave the Gadflies for a day and join the greenies.

Problem solved, don't bother thanking me, I do it from a spirit of public service. :hug:

Not sure how much Irish and how much English in me, but I'm sure there's both. Green beer = yuk, though.
