OK - one more! Flynn was reminiscing about the first time he took his son Paddy out for a drink. They went to the local pub, which is only two blocks from their home. Flynn got him a Guinness. Paddy didn't like it - so Flynn drank it. Then Flynn got him a Smithwick's, Paddy didn't like it either, so Flynn drank it. It was the same with the Harp and the Murphy's. By the time they got through the Irish whiskey, Flynn could hardly push the stroller back home. ![]() Strange St. Patrick’s Day Traditions In The United States 1.

An American, a Russian, and an Irishman were out at the pub in London. The Russian sneers and says that in Russia, Vodka is so cheap they only have to pay 2 Rubles a bottle.
The American snorts and says that in Wisconsin, good beer is so cheap it's only a dollar a bottle. They both look at the Irishman. The Irishman says he's not sure about that, but in Ireland, whiskey is so good that they pay you to drink it and not only that, he said, they'll even get you laid as part of the bargain! The Russian and American cannot believe it. "You get all the whiskey and sex you want and they pay you for it? Have you ever had this happen yourself?" the American demands. "Well no," the Irishman says. "But it happens for my sister all the time!" Posted by: SimoHayha at March 17, 2025 10:04 PM (qXL9c) 30

When I went to college, i received a bouquet of 24 roses on St Patrick's day, with a card that read, "We're sorry you're not Irish." No name on the card, by the way. For the next five years, I received two dozen roses every St. Patrick's day, with the same card, covering undergrad and grad school.
It wasn't until I was married and home from overseas for a complicated pregnancy that my mom told me she and my dad did that, because... "I wasn't Irish and would never properly celebrate St. Patrick's day." Mom and Dad were teetotaling Southern Baptists, so I have no idea why they thought up this rather epic troll.

Y'all are making me thirsty. I had a power outage, fled to Starbucks for a while and had coffee, got insanely buzzed, now I'm back at home and it's raining and I don't feel like going out and I don't have anything to drink in the house. Well, water and lemonade and milk and that sort of thing, but you know, nothing to drink and I could use something of the relaxing influence. Jim Sunk New Dawn, you sipping bourbon?

Evening everyone, thx Doof, great selections.
Years ago got tickets to see The Pogues at the Roseland Ballroom on St Patty's Day which was a Friday night. On Wed I was in court with another attorney who was going to see them Thurs. He said Shane McGowan fell off the stage last night in Boston and broke his knee. He figured the shows would be cancelled and Friday morning he came in and said the Thursday show was cancelled, but there was nothing on the website about Friday. Three friends and I got a limo drove to NYC. The Pogues came on stage pushing Shane out in a wheelchair with a big cup of whiskey in the cup holder. They blew the place away. Told my friend when I saw him Monday and he was pissed Posted by: Smell the Glove at March 17, 2025 10:20 PM (bVN1m) Posted by: OGlub at March 17, 2025 10:20 PM (77rzZ) 82

Monday, President Donald Trump named Michael Flynn to the United States Military Academy’s board of visitors, along with Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas); Maureen Bannon, David Bellavia; and retired major general Dan Walrath.
The president also named Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, Charlie Kirk and former deputy national security adviser Dina Powell, among others, to the Air Force’s board of visitors. Trump confirmed Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy; Sean Spicer; Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas); and Walt Nauta, to sit on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors. The boards are effectively advisory panels and can weigh in on curriculum, teaching, finances and other matters, with members nominated by Congress and the president. _Politico Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at March 17, 2025 10:21 PM (LdsRU) 88

An Irishman's been drinking at a pub all night. When he stands up to leave, he falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, but to no avail. Again, he falls flat on his face. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside, he stands up and, sure enough, he falls flat on his face. The Irishman decides to crawl the two blocks to his house.
When he arrives at the door, he stands up and falls flat on his face. He manages to crawl through the door and up the stairs into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed, he tries one more time to stand up. This time, he pulls himself upright but he quickly falls right into bed. He is sound asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. He awakens the next morning to his wife standing over him, "So, you've been out drinking again!" "Why do you say that?" he asks innocently. "Mick at the pub called. You left your wheelchair there again." Posted by: Grump928(c) blurts at March 17, 2025 10:51 PM (Q91V2) 146

Apparently, the last invasion of Britain happened at Bristol when a small French diversionary force of regular soldiers and convicts landed there to distract the British while the French invaded Ireland.
The invasion of Ireland was called off but the Black Legion did land and was soundly defeated by a capable British woman named Jemimah and a scratch British force. The leader of this Black Legion was an Irish American who hated the British. Posted by: Anna Puma at March 17, 2025 11:07 PM (Ocj/H) 172

Himself introduced me to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem better than 50 years ago. We've picked up tons of Irish music since then. After a while, I had a revelation: the Irish use music as part of their war against Britain. A good half of the Wolftones' repertoire is anti British. A lot of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are anti British. Name any prominent Irish group and they have anti British songs. (Real groups, not made up ones like Irish Women and Celtic Storm.)

ONT Joke from 17 years ago:
Irishman's First Drink With His Son =========================== While reading an article last night about fathers and sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint. Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage. I got him a Guinness. He didn't like it, so I drank it. Then I got him a Kilkenny's, he didn't like that either, so I drank it. Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager? He didn't. I drank it. I thought maybe he'd like whiskey better than beer so I tried a Tullamore Dew. Nope! In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast, Ireland's finest. He wouldn't even smell it. What could I do but drink it? By the time I realized he just didn't like to drink, I was so freakin' shit-faced I could hardly push his stroller back home!

I was reading a little bit about Red 40 and it replaced Amaranth, aka Red 2, after health issues with it were raised in '76.
The odd thing though is Amaranth comes from an edible plant. With many things the dose does make the poison but...are people consuming more of whatever the problematic substance is eating it as a dye versus a grain? Of course either way...why the hell do we so broadly dye food anyway? I doesn't affect the taste or smell. I remember when there were no red M&Ms and...they were just as enjoyable as now.

I know of an oncology professor who has developed an actual vaccine that effectively treats melanomas, and it's not mRNA. It's cheap to produce and the side effect is that his patients don't come down with respiratory viruses. The problem is that it's cheap to produce and actually works without making patients sicker than they would be without treatment.

206 Watched the new Wolf Man movie with Julia Garner.
It's good old fashioned horror, not woke or artsy. Posted by: vmom deport deport deporte That one had an interesting take on the way that the lycanthrope manifests itself - completely the opposite of what we've grown accustomed to from the Lon Chaney and American Werewolf in London depictions. I'm still a sucker for the practical effects from "Dog Soldiers." That one had to have one of the best elevator pitches in cinema: It's "Zulu" in the Scottish woodlands, but with werewolves. I also love that the besieged military platoon accepts what their eyes tell them and don't waste time debating what the threat is - they just proceed to kicking ass.

My Great Grandmother still had her Irish brogue. Came here in 1903 or 1904 I believe. She also had a shileighleigh (sp) that she would use if you were out of line. She was a character though. Funny lady, but if you pissed her off, you were going to have a bad day. But she had a heart of gold.

Most of Tesla’s $7.1 billion in net income last year doesn’t even derive from selling electric vehicles, solar panels or battery storage. Some $2.8 billion came from the sale of regulatory credits to other auto makers that need to comply with government EV mandates. As EV mandates have increased, so have Tesla’s profits from such credit sales.
Tesla made another $1.6 billion in interest income on cash and short-term investment holdings. Democrats can thank the Biden inflation for allowing companies to earn higher interest on their cash holdings. In addition, Tesla recorded nearly $600 million in book income from price appreciation in its bitcoin holdings, but this is akin to an unrealized capital gain.

An interesting comment I just read on a youtube video:
I once had a Pentagon historian tell me that "we don't know" is never good enough for companies or the government, and that "if I were honest", then I'd just go with the predominant hypothesis, even if it's wrong, rather than say that we simply don't know. That helped me to confirm that we are led by the least of us. Nature rewards "doing human" - not being honest and factual. According to our betters, the intellect is only there to serve the will. It's only to be used to get you what you want - so long as what you want is not merely "truth" in the abstract. Posted by: eleven at March 17, 2025 11:50 PM (0HaGk) 229

I also like Albions Seed, csnt remember the author, but he devoted a section to the Reivers, and Jim Webb, the Senator, wrote one called Born Fighting that is fabulous. One of my cousins has some old documents from some event where a group of relatives, though not direct descendents, was being transported for some reason, and among the complaints was that they couldn't be told or beaten into doing anything but drink, come to blows, fornicate or play upon the fiddle.

Moon dust had a particular smell. They described as gun powder and welding fumes. Some people will have a strong sort of allergic reaction to it.

Prediction; they will either delay RealID again for flights. Or it will be revoked soon after it goes live. Imagine millions of people showing up for flights and being told they can’t board. You don't have a real ID.

I think that is what happened on the first one. It's not supposed to have horizontal velocity when it lands. They had to hot wire another instrument on board during flight to act as a altimeter because someone goofed and missed that "Remove Before Flight" tag.
