Beer is the ONE thing I did not give up for Lent.

How does that song go, "In Heaven there is no beer, so now we have to drink it here..." orsomethinglikethat......

Good enough. Mine is a mere Miller Lite.

Well, Happy Birthday.

Dreaming in the night I saw a land
where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly,
they twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky
Living on your western shore,
saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
and sang a song for Ireland

I would have included a song WAV, but it wouldn't have matched the best version of the song I've heard...a live rendition, in a Wexford pub a few years ago.

I'm American, just living here for school.

So, wadda ya waitin' 'fer? LOL

I'd LOVE to come join ya for a beer! Unfortunately, my student visa expired so technically I can't leave the country until I get my new one.

[kstewskis]

I had to have another one of these....

Definitely a "night night sippy beer!"

[proud_yank]

Are any of you around?

Paddy and Murphy are knocking back a few pints of Guinness at the local and in walks O'Rourk.

He says, "did ye hear about O'Hara dyin last night?" Paddy and Murphy, in shock exclaim, "No! Poor O'Hara. Has anyone told his wife?"

O'Rourk says "No she hasn't been told yet, but i'll get sweet talking Patrick to tell her. He is such a sweet talker and so good with words that he can talk the fish out of the brook and the birds out of the trees."

They leave to find Patrick and as they are leaving in he walks and says "Good Mornin to ye all lads, a pint on me for everyone."

O'Rourk tells Patrick the sad news about O'Hara dyin and asks him to break the news very gently to his wife, as she doesn't yet know.

Patrick, the sweet talker says, "I will be glad to have a chat with O'Hara's wife and I'll break it so gently to her that a whimper is all she'll utter. Im a man of words and I can charm the fish from the brook and the birds from the trees. Don't worry lads, I'll take care of this. They don't call me sweet talker for nuttin.

Well, off they all go to O'Hara's house. Patrick knocks on the door and O'Hara's wife answers and says, "Yes may I help you?"

Sweet talking Patrick steps forward and at attention says, "Are you the widow O'Hara?"

To which the woman responds, "My name is O'Hara but I'm not a widow."

Sweet talking Patrick braces himself and exclaims, "Shite you aint."

Thanks, and may people remember it is a Saint's Day and not just another excuse to get drunk, as if any of us need one!

[proud_yank]

It wasn't too funny at the time! 'Gut wrenching' would be a better description!!

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!

'May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.'

'May the roads rise to meet you.
May the wind be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand'

Sláinte chugat,
Athair Mór (aka, gpapa)
