Hello.

Top 5?

Corned beef isn't really that popular in Ireland. I have never seen it on a menu and I have never seen anyone eating it. I don't think the delis even sell it. If one really craved it I believe it's sold in cans at the grocery store.

Great song lyrics though, Charles!

the wag tailoring the doggerel

Truly classic.

[GQuagmire]

Well, yesterday was the county St Paddy's Day Parade and they made 200 forken pounds of corned beef (plus who know how much cabbage and spuds) down at Vinny's Boom Boom Room and I passed it up.

Vinny's Boom Boom Room doesn't sound like a quaint little Irish pub to me.....

Top O’ The Ten to ya laddy!

Fritz Baue? Who he?

[Cyber Liberty]

Sounds more like the name of a bath house.

It's not Irish food at all. Strictly something picked up in the states. The British Isles in general are not noted for their food which doesn't include corned beef. Closest to Irish food is Shepherd's pie which is just a bunch of meat covered in mashed potatoes.

[Charles Henrickson]

Fritz Baue? Who he?

Fritz Baue is a fellow LCMS pastor and a friend of mine. He is an excellent musician and quite a creative literary fellow. He had the idea for the song, the refrain, and the first three stanzas. Then I wrote the other five stanzas while we were riding up together to a conference in Chicago recently.

[GeronL]

Fritz is the gay German who calls himself Gretl

[GQuagmire]

That would explain all the corned beef.....

Lutheran pastors of Germanic/Scandinavian background writing satirical Irish songs. Only in America. And what happened to the final “r” in “Bauer.” Did that get lopped off by an Irish Ellis Island immigration officer?

[Incorrigible]

the wag tailoring the doggerel

Classic indeed! But I see it's not the first time Charles has used that phrase, we just missed it before.

Very nice.

I love it. Real diversity is having fun with our ethnicities--that was the Chicago and the era I grew up in--not being uptight out of political correctness. Here I was, a Swede, living in a Jewish neighborhood, going to a German Lutheran church and school. I loved it.

[PJ-Comix]

I’d still like to hear how Baue lost the “r” in the name. I am suspecting some Irish immigration officer at Ellis Island mistakenly left if off.

[Well, that's the other preferred Democrat option: Lie.]
