*Mind meld time*:
Who was your favorite character in “The 13th Warrior”?
It’s been a long time but I’m pretty sure it was Buliwyf. I like the movie but the book was excellent.
Rats!
For me, Herger the Joyous stole the movie.
“’tis but a small matter” was his stock answer for every horrifying event that came his way....:)
Buliwyf was great too and the scene where his dog howls at his death always makes me cry.
*Great* movie, in spite of Banderas.

One of my favorite historical books on the Scots-Irish. My people, and I am damn proud to be one.
Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America

“My people, and I am damn proud to be one.”
Hell yeah!
“How The Irish Saved Civilization” is another good one.

Obama to be presented with proof of Irish ancestry (Belfast Telegraph 3/17/09 Belfast Telegraph Staff)
US President Barack Obama is to be presented with a copy of baptismal records which prove his Offaly connections.Taoiseach Brian Cowen will hand-deliver a photograph of Templeharry Church in Moneygall, where Obama's great-great-great-grandfather was baptised, along with parish records and a picture of the schoolhouse his ancestors attended.
Mr Cowen will also extend an invitation to President Obama to visit Ireland and to Moneygall during his St Patrick's Day visit to the White House.
I don't even think that Barack Obama (Junior) was ever baptized (unless it was done at Jeremiah Wright's church).
