Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
*sniff* that's just beautiful...
thankyuh ma'am...
Looks like a beer and a shot of milk.
don't call me sir... I werks fer a livin'... :-)
[sigh... I should'a stuck in there to make Chief. :-) ]
Evenin' Mister Nad. I'm enjoying a sort of a Black-n-Tan, forced on me by my beertendress... Guiness on top and RedHook Blonde Ale beneath. It seems to be working properly.
I just know there's a joke in there someplace...
Beer and milk? Eeeewwww....
I think that looks like a Car Bomb made with a guiness and a shot of Bailey's. Maybe there's some Bushmills in that Baileys...
Missionary beer.
Long as I don't gotta go over any water, I'm fine!
;-)
Guy drove off a road here in Tulsa, was upside down in his truck underwater, unconcious. Two guys with CPR experience noticed the truck as they drove by and plunged in to get him.
Saved his life.
What a nightmare to me though...I shuddered all evening. I do not like water/car combos.
Yup. That's what it looks like to me too.
I couldn't find a "g'nad" version on google though. :-)
So this is OK?
Hmmm...this pic isn't working....
I had to do some googling to make sure I had it straight. There is much discussion about whether Jameson (Dublin) or Bushmills (Belfast) is the proper ingredient for the I.C.B.
I'm in the Bushmills camp, so far... But even around here there are bars where it really matters what you order. Down at Kell's (and Irish pub in Seattle) they won't even serve Jameson. It's an IRA sort of Irish bar. Jikes... I'm Norwegian... I'm not involved in this fight. All my ancestors ever did was to land some boats in Ireland and run off with all the cute girls.
...not that there's anything wrong with that.
It happens frequently here, since there are so many canals around.
Usually, folks get out OK. But there have been some horrible incidents. Like this one lady who called 911 when she drove off the turnpike into a canal after falling asleep at the wheel.
She couldn't tell the dispatcher where she was because she didn't know. By the time help arrived, it was too late. *shakes head sadly*
*laughing* I'm certain some Irish folks ~still~ hold a grudge over that too!
It's huge! It goes way down into the fan too!
It was the same way down where I grew up on the Gulf. Levies with winding roads on the top only two lanes wide, water on both sides, dark bayous with huge oaks on either side and long draping spanish moss. Always with a rickety wooden bridge.
Shudder shudder.
Don't mind fishin' off them bridges, but driving was never fun.
They seem to hold grudges over lots of things, so I wouldn't be too surprised... :-)
Maybe that's why there isn't an "Irish Bikini Team". [ducking]
OK, ok... truth be told... the Irish lasses seem to still be all aplenty. So apparently my ancestors didn't deplete the gene pool all too much. :-)
Poor snake. :-(
I think I'd be more upset over its death than its presence under the hood!
I can't recall ever driving over a wooden bridge in my life. I can't imagine it would be a pleasant experience.
I'd prefer to walk across!
Irish Car Snaig?
