| St. Patrick's Day Pre-Cafe CafeI'll post the real Cafe at the usual time. This one, my first effort, is far too focused on St. Patrick's Day to be a general-interest cafe. Also, I thought I'd post it before people go out for corn beef and beer. ![]() The Rock of Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland One structure in the castle, a round tower, dates back to 1100 AD. The chapel's construction started in 1127; the cathedral just next to it was built starting 1235. Check out how the BBC honors St. Patrick's Day -- by running an old clip about Ireland's ancient pagan gods. The clip is interesting, but how is this "a St. Patrick's Day treat"? Are they not aware that St. Patrick was, slightly famously, a convert to Christianity? At 2:56-7, I'm pretty sure the stone on the ground commemorate St. Patrick (I think you can see "Patrick" written on second line, at the left margin) and this poet very deliberately steps on this commemoration to literally embrace... a pagan statue. If that's how this guy rolls, it's how he rolls -- but how is this even slightly a "treat for St. Patrick's Day"? I guess the BBC is just following the example of the Irish themselves. The Irish president decided to make St. Patrick's Day all about everyone's need to celebrate "migrants" and fight "xenophobia and racism." It's literally all about the "contributions and courage of migrants." Nothing about, you know, the indigenous population of Ireland and their traditions. Here's a video about St. Patrick. I guess a lot of people know this, but the reason the three-leaf clover (not four-leaf) is so connected with St. Patrick's Day is that legend has it that he would use the clover to teach about the Trinity. A hero's welcome. The history of the prayer/hymn called St. Patrick's Breastplate or St. Patrick's Lorica (which just means "breastplate"), a prayer of protection against spiritual and physical dangers. Plus a reading of the prayer. It's amazing. Supposedly St. Patrick and his followers would weave paper upon which was written this prayer through their tunics. Here's another telling of the lorica protecting Patrick from druids who schemed to kill him. It's sometimes called "The Deer's Cry" because the druids lay in wait for Patrick and his missionaries to pass, but never saw him. They only saw a herd of deer go by. The implication being that the prayer conjured a protective illusion that shielded Patrick and his men from the druids' eyes. Here's the hymn being performed at Trinity Church in NYC, and here's the prayer sung as a song. A commenter (forget who) linked this tweet about grape agate. It's well-named!

My clan hales from Edinburgh, but my branch became Ulster Scots before my direct ancestor sailed to America in the 1750s. he was kidnapped enroute, and was taken to the Caribbean until the clan could pay his ransom. he eventually made it to Virginia. And now, here I am.
But there are so many others, from both sides of the family: Finnish, German, Welsh, Danish, English. I guess the commonality being people of pallor. Also, some of my ancestors pillaged other ancestors. So, I guess I should demand reparations or some shit. Posted by: Pug Mahon, Angry Leprechaun at March 17, 2023 06:44 PM (UQUAY) 64

Anecdotally, I've noticed a fair number of 50 somethings dying of heart attacks out on the trails at our national parks. I mean it happens, I just don't recall reading about it in this frequency.
Someone who lived not too far from me recently died on a hiking trail at Arches national park, and I got to thinking the problems that would cause, I mean, for the family. His obituary says he died doing something he loved. I can't find out if his family was with him - or whether he drove his car out there too, but I'm trying to imagine all the logistics of getting somebody's body back home for starters. I bet that isn't cheap. Then, let's say his car is parked at the trailhead? Who deals with that? Posted by: Common Tater at March 17, 2023 06:59 PM (NqqNb) 115

DU is also channeling the "Fuck White Culture" vibe
Hey, Irish Americans: Your "Celtic" tattoo isn't Celtic -- because that whole idea was made up Ireland's past is a lot more interesting than the search for some made-up "Celtic" essence that never existed, and which always ends up at two connected destinations: blatantly fake racist B.S., and somebody trying to sell you something.... ...the retrograde right-wing tendency exemplified by Sean Hannity and Mick Mulvaney and Kellyanne Conway and any number of other Trump-affiliated Republicans, which remains attached to an idealized, nostalgic vision of Ireland as a Gaelic-Catholic-nationalist (but English-speaking) monoculture, the land of saints and scholars... ... current Taoiseach (i.e., prime minister) is a gay man of Indian ancestry, and where the starting goalkeeper for the national soccer team is Black, I can only hope they feel outraged and baffled. They should be: Jesus, Mary and Joseph, how did Ireland turn woke?

Legal Insurrection has article up Bay area will ban new gas water or heaters in 2027, your old one fails you can't get another.
- I haven't looked, but I suspect that it's tied to the unelected California Air Resource Board, and multiple states have laws in place requiring them to adhere to whatever CARB decrees. It's weird how it wasn't even a month ago that this was a conspiracy theory, same as the Covid-19 release and PATRIOT Act. Sorry, 9/11 conspiracy.

Back in the day, a friend of mine flew to Ireland on Air Ireland (whatever it is actually called), and realized as they were taking off that he left his passport at home ( they never asked for it at check-in).
Of course he gets taken aside and grilled when he gets there. He explains that coworkers are flying over in a day or so, they can bring it with them. They let him off, since apparently admitting that mistake would incur a 100k fine for the airline. If he was in Air France, they would have sent his ass back. He jokes that he has been thrown out of bars before, but never a country. Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at March 17, 2023 07:27 PM (ufFY8) 217

Why is it wrong for European nations to send immigrants to non-European lands but it's celebrated when non-Europeans immigrate to European lands?
Changing the culture of a non-European land = bad! Changing the culture of a European land = good! And if the difference is the power imbalance (which is what the elites who support this say), then why is it okay for the elites to destroy the indigenous cultures and faith of the non-elites wherever they rule in the West?

I always wondered where the rocks went from castles that have deterioated. Probably used to build the local town is my guess.
I did a lot of castle exploring in Germany in the early 90's. One of my hobbies now is to explore using them using Giigle Erf. I use the street view. Bamberg, where I was stationed, has a really killer set up for the 10th century downtown area. That place is killer and shows what things would look like mostly preserved and never allowed to go into decay. It also escaped WW2 bombing, unlike Nuermberg, which is cool but rebuilt. I'm going to go see what the rock castle at the top looks like on there. Posted by: Reforger at March 17, 2023 07:49 PM (T7f85) 272
