Make up a good Irish themed story about yourself.....

[Wetzelbill]

Or just make one up in general.


Ok, this one time I was in Dublin and attended mass one Sunday morning. Later on, Fit Finlay and I decided to go out to a pub and have a few Guinnesses. Well, after a few drinks he and I got a little crazy and cleaned out the whole bar in a massive barfight. After a few more pitchers each, and having run out of people to fight, Finlay and I had several epic battles over the course of the day. Not sure how it all went, but I ended up winning a few and he won a few as well. Beaten, bloody and black-eyed, Finlay and I went out in the street and just beat up random passersby until we each passed out on the sidewalk. Well, anyway, in the pub that day was a young band called U2, and the carnage they witnessed with me and Finlay's battles later on became the inspiration for the song, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday." True story I promise. :)

1. Shame on you all for not making up any stories!!!!

Shame! Shame! Shame!

The only real shame here is that I kicked this the day after St. Patrick's Day and pretty much out of sheer ego and boredom.

:kick:

2. Patience Laddy

Ok so I was in Galway and ran in to Mickey O'Shea, Johnny O'Toole, Whitey Bulger, and a fine lass by the name of Kathleen Finnegan at the pub and I got drunk off of Guinness and Harp. Oh and I had some of that corned beef stuff, that was good. Oh yeah Jimmy Burke was there too.

5. You didn't whack anybody did you?

cuz that would have been cool.. :smoke:

[JohnKleeb]

7. Nah

Burke and Bulger, they're from different crowds, Burke does his shit with the Luchesse and Whitey has his outfit in Southie.

9. I used to wanna be a Westie

until I watched a show about the Irish mob called "Paddy Whacked" last night. I think being a lazy couch potato is much safer. Providing I can dodge a clogged artery. :)

11. I am not even descended from Boston or New York Irish

I'm Pittsburgh Irish, you know the kind that go in the steel mills in my case that didn't happen becuase my great grandfather was an engineer and his only son was a priest.

[Wetzelbill]

13. hell I think I have some Irish

although, if I got a bloody nose I'd probably lose it all. :)

14. My Dad's from Chicago...

one of my Uncle's still lives there.

He repremanded me this last fall when he discovered I was a Cubs fan.

"NO YOU ARE NOT! WE ARE SOUTH SIDE IRISH! YOU ARE A SOX FAN!"

And he was genuinely pissed.

15. I dont thikn I have any family left in Pittsburgh

Cool thing was though my grandmother alwyas told us that our father was friends with baseball legend and hall of famer Honus Wagner. The Irish and hte Germans are frigging everywhere, I should know, my dad's a krautmick.

16. In Chicago...in the Southside Suburbs....

it's all Irish and Polish. Everytime I go for a visit...it seems like we spend at least one meal a day at a Polish deli.

4. I was walking down the street one day and saw an Irishman.

That's all.
Just kidding.

He said: Fee Fi Fo Fum..... I've stepped in f*cking dog sh*t! F*ck! Still, had to be done...

I said: You wouldn't happen to a giant, would you?

He said: Damn. My accent really gives it away doesn't it?

I said: Yes. Would you do me a favour and step on George Bush? Please?

He said: I already have. That's what I was talking about at the start of the joke...

3. lotd was working hard on eday at the Guinness brewery

when he fell into a vat of the precious elixir.

alas, after an all-day struggle to stay afloat, lotd drowned.

but not until after he'd climbed out of the vat a few times to go have a pee.

6. My name is Timothy Patrick Flanagan....

however...my Father's Father was killed 3 day's from the end of WWII...while on patrol on the Rhein River.

My Dad was Michael Harold Weir. A Jewish kid. His Mother remarried Harry Flanagan when he was about 9 or 10. His stepfather adopted him. He became Michael Harold Flanagan...and went from being a Jew...to being a Catholic in one fell swoop.

I get all my Irish from my Mothers side.



And that actually IS a true story.

[Buddyblazon]

8. P.S.......

I didn't know my Father was adopted until I was in my mid 20's.

I was pretty crushed. Just because I was so proud to be Irish all my life.

But fortunately my Mother told me she was mostly Irish. So...I still claim Irish. But I am not a Flanagan by blood.

[Wetzelbill]

10. still, that's a pretty solid story

and you're still a good amount of Irish anyway. :):beer:

[Buddyblazon]

12. It's too much to tell people....

when they break into their awful Irish accents when they hear my name...and then do their derogatory little leprechaun dance.

The one unfortunate about my name...I share it with a Bush cohort who invented "Water-boarding"...a horrible form of torture. :(
