Just some trivia I heard on the radio this morning...
St. Patrick was actually not Irish.
St. Patrick actually did not ever drive snakes out of Ireland.
St. Patrick's favorite color was blue
St. Patricks's Day was considered a holiday and no bars/pubs in Ireland were open until sometime in the 70's on that day.
I can't remember any of the other ones....



Okay Chris....Let me guess here!

Come this July 4th, you're ALSO going to "enlighten" us all here to the fact that George Washington never chopped down a friggin' cherry tree in his life, AND that the "Father of Our Country" didn't possess NEAR arm enough to chuck a friggin' dollar all the way across the friggin' Potomac River EITHER...RIGHT???!!!





ummm see one main point yer missing if It was not for us Brits ....you would not have a 4th of July...Nor a Thanksgiving....nor St Georges Day,St Patricks Day or a St Andrews Day...



Well Eric ol' buddy, I have to say that you DO make a pretty good point there alright. Yep! Most ALL of our "Founding Fathers" were englishmen originially. And ONE of 'em by the name of Thomas Jefferson was of course the writer of our Declaration of Indepenence TOO, ya know. And, of course, that declaration was primarily important for severing the ties with the OLD WAYS of doing things you guys over there never seem to tired of...SUCH AS playing sports without the LIBERTY of using your friggin' HANDS, unlike WE freedom-loving folks can do whenever we play OUR version of "football", NOT to mention OUR invention of the sports of baseball and basketball where the use of one's HANDS are actually encouraged.

Yep, it seems to me that YOU poor "Loyalist" over there seem to be stuck into a rut when it comes to these sorts of things, like having to kick a little white ball around a big ol' field for HOURS without the LIBERTY of using your COMPLETE body, which of course INCLUDES one's HANDS!!!!

(un huh, that's RIGHT...Liberty tends to breed innovation and progress, alright!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
