Not Irish, but I DID study poetry and fiction at Trinity College in Dublin for a summer. What a beautiful land. They say Glendalough inspired Tolkien's middle earth. Ya hafta see it. Slainte!
 
My great grand folks exited the potato famine.

My grandmother was an O'Brien, I is 'culturally' east coast Irish Catholic.

Only my name comes from the Welsh.

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks traveling from Dublin to Galway eight years ago.
In a remarkable country, Glendalough stands out as one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
Didn't know about the Tolkien inspiration, but it makes sense.
 
In my tradition of giving inappropriate gifts I have badly re-handled a rusty $5 e-bay ax head and will present it as St. Patrick's Ax which he used to run the snakes out of Ireland. So it's off to see the little people of Wadmalaw Island, SC and find their pot of ...BEER! My niece's husband, Donald, will love this ax and we will probably have to lock it away before the party is over. Now I have to decide on a 'party knife' to wear, something in green hhmmm...

Moffat...wouldn't a Mini-Muk in green linen just be perfect? :eek: Knowing you a little bit, though, you probably have something that'll fit the occasion. :D
 
Nothing Irish in me, I'm afraid, except perhaps a warm and vital interest in alcohol products! :D
 
I celebrate this particular holiday by wearing Orange


Seriously. My paternal grandfather always tweaked the Catholic nuns who ran the hospital by wearing his brightest orange tie on the 17th. I have done my best to keep the tradition alive.

Rick - WASP (the other kind)
 
I survived 3 years of working for the brewery that made Micky's Malt ........ and I was out promoting it - often in Chicago ..... on St Pattys ...........

Ohhh - I still have tremors from it!

But then again - I am English! And Protestant at that:eek:;):D:thumbup:
 
Just got back from corned beef and cabbage run myself.:thumbup:

I'm a quarter Irish from my moms side, just enough to through my Norwegian and German into a tail spin this time of year.:D

You damned right...........I am Irish,

grew up passed out on River St in Savannah
 
I've got to have some Irish in me, I've got a gramdma's who madien name is Patrick and a daughter born on March 17th.

I'd give my right arm for a wee dram of Irish Whiskey or even a can of any bland mass-produced domestic beer, but I'm sure that's not going to happen...

I wonder what the chow hall's going to serve up? Ham slices and cole slaw is probably the closest thing I'm likely to see to Cornbeef pot roast.

You all make sure you have a beer for me and my Marines! (Someone please keep a tally, I'll let you know when you can stop.)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
