Guys are we any going to have that irish group still?

[JohnKleeb]

[Touchdown]

1. What irish group?

Nobody told me! Do they have guiness, or even better O'Dell's?

[Dookus]

2. Every time we try...

everybody gets drunk, gets into a huge fight, then we all break down and cry about how much we love our mudders.

[Squatch]

3. Irish. Ha!

Even lowlier than Scotsmen. And that's mighty lowly.

[McKenzie]

5. LOL, I agree we are a rotten shower.

Thing is, I bet a lot of you share our bloodlines...heehee

[Squatch]

8. Yeah, we use your bloodlines in haggis

(ok, that was a stretch...but you try turning your reply into an insult and include the word "haggis")

[McKenzie]

13. is Yellow Dog secure against

Denial of Haggis attacks?

Heehee...

[Longgrain]

4. I just kicked up the other thread...

I'm not sure why this is taking so long...

[JohnKleeb]

6. goddamn protestants

oops did I say that allowed :), sorry just kidding protestants but I will continue to be a Catholic and identify with the Orthodox Christians more than you.

[Longgrain]

7. LOL

I'm still somehow Catholic myself...

Here's the link to the other thread...

Do you think one of us could go down to ATA and post it there since I'm guessing Tweed has been sleeping off another one...:beer:

[JohnKleeb]

12. hah neat

but really as an eastern european american, well I am Irish-German too, I identify more with the orthodox. Love the beards :D, kidding thats not why.

[JVS]

47. I'm getting a bit tired of your anti-protestant bigotry

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. I thought we were gonna broaden it to a celtophile group?

[Squatch]

10. Didn't Skinner say "no sex threads"?

[JohnKleeb]

11. didnt hear that

[Longgrain]

14. I think someone suggested changing the title to

something like Celtic culture and heritage group...so we could include the Welsh and the Scots, (as well as not step on them Protestant toes...;) )

It's in the other thread...

[JohnKleeb]

15. fuck we're always giving in to them

They are the majority here in America, why should we give in to them in our own country, :grr:. Oh and my protestant hatred isn't hatred, its just teasing guys.

[Longgrain]

16. I know

;) I'm teasing too.

[JohnKleeb]

19. heh how I love to tease protestants

God though, theres too many of them, I wish this was a Catholic majority country, then we'd be more democratic.

[Donailin]

25. The Irish catholics have a sense of humor

prolly from the oppression and all <g>

[JohnKleeb]

26. Yeah but I am not all Irish

:)

[Donailin]

27. Well, in that case

I'll pray for you ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

29. ahh being Slavic is cool too

its just the German that I would trade in for more Irish.

[Donailin]

31. Shouldn't diss the Germanic

they have great autos

[JohnKleeb]

33. ahh but I dont like the possiblity of giving my kids blonde hair

[Donailin]

41. well you could always give them skinheads

doh!

;-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Well, I am irish, scottish, and welsh. hence my interest in celtic

stuff in general (Well, I got a lot more stuff mixed in there as well, but am really fond of the celtic bit)

[JohnKleeb]

18. I am only Irish myself

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. I'm not even green Irish, but orange.. however my mother's side

of the family, the russian/hungarian bit is Catholic....So I don't go in for the protestant vs catholic bit at all.

[JohnKleeb]

21. Ahh it to me has always been about class not religion

People need to know that Theobold Wolfetone was a protestant as was Charles Stewart Parnell. Its a mix honestly to me of those two, but not exclusively about religion.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Oh, well in that case you'll feel better knowing that my family used to

have loads of $$, but now don't. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

24. we've never had much money

just part of the way things turned out.

[Donailin]

22. Kick for the group

someone let me know when this thing gets going.

[Dr Batsen D Belfry]

28. Do I understand a group of Irish are having a still?

Hmmmm. Brewing whisky? Can I pretend to be Irish?

DBDB

[JohnKleeb]

30. you can be honorable irish, what are ya anyhow

[Dr Batsen D Belfry]

32. I am a proud Lithuanian

and Pittsburgher

DBDB

[JohnKleeb]

34. My Irish and German relatives are from the Burgh

Wish I could visit sometime.

[Longgrain]

35. Hey a fellow Lithuanian

:hi:

I've met at least two other DUers who were at least part Lituanian.

Maybe we can start a DU Lituanian Group.

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

36. You know Long, I would love to start a Slovenian group

but then I remembered, you need ten members to start a group :).

[Longgrain]

37. LOL

I know...of the 62,000 DUers who have not been tombstoned, ain't trolls, or post one or twice before giving up, you'd think they'd be ten of us...

[JohnKleeb]

38. true

but you know, theres only 1 million plus Slovenes in the old country, not too many Slovene Americans :).

[corksean]

39. As a 100% dyed-in-the-wool prime beef 80% proof hairy-arsed Paddy

I say:
When is this group kicking off?
I'm getting thirsty and mean....

[JohnLocke]

40. Excellent idea. I'm in.

[Longgrain]

42. Yet another kick...

:kick:

We can still dream can't we?

[Longgrain]

43. And again...

[Thor_MN]

44. Anything that comes out of an Irish still is fine by me.

[Donailin]

45. Irish cuisine?

recipes, anyone?

(besides the tired old corned beef and cabbage, I hate that stuff)

[Donailin]

51. so it is true

no replies to the irish cuisine, which can only mean one thing: they don't have any worth mentioning.

And no, beer is not a cuisine.

[Orsino]

46. Depends...

And what'll you be brewin' up in this shtill, me boyo?

Edit: upon reflection, the above might be taken as negative stereotyping. I apologize for any offense, and offer as defense only the fact of my own Scots-Irish heritage.

[corksean]

48. Cic (Irish for kick, honestly.)

[Longgrain]

49. Another kick...

[corksean]

50. All this kicking is making me thirsty (again)

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. Me! Me!! Me!!!!

I'm in.

[HEyHEY]

53. I'm in

[Longgrain]

54. For all of you out there still interested...
