Reference St. Patricks Day, 1971- The answer is: Yes...lots of things are green.

I'll bet idea for Kermit the Frog was invented on March 18 after Jim Henson celebrated a little too much.

March 18, 1971. Jim Henson wakes up from his annual St. Patty's day bender.

Jim: Oh, damn my head! What the hell did I drink last night?

Jim's wife: The list would be shorter if you asked what you didn't drink last night.

Jim gets up out of bed, crawls to the bathroom, and vomits violently into the toilet. A little bit splashes on to the tile.

Jim: Damn, is that from Creme De Menthe?

Jim's wife: No you idiot, you drank a keg of green beer last night, you lush. Are you gonna look for a job today?

Jim: Hey, that blob sorta looks like a frog.

Jim's wife: Sorta looks like that hussy you were hitting on last night, too.

Jim: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was hitting on me, I tell ya!

Jim's wife: No, she HIT you. There's a difference.

Jim: Whatever.

Jim's wife: I heard that the school needs some sort of teacher's aide type guy. You should do that. Not like you'd be a good influence, but WTF, ya never know.

Jim: Teacher's aide? What the hell would I do?

Jim's wife: How the #&%!$ should I know? Stick your hand up a puppet's ass maybe?

Jim looks back at the floor again.

Jim: Have you got any of that green felt left?

And the rest is history....

the pledge? sounds scary. well, my last name is Irish, but really i'm a Heinz 57. i have little culture to speak of, in general. LOL!

Lyra, I'm in the same boat as you. Here is a partial list of my linage, English, Dutch, German, Scottish, French (by way of Canada), and a little Native American (have no idea what nation). I'm just an American mutt.

I believe "take the pledge" is Irish for "going on the wagon".

Actually, LZ, I had my first beer since the beginning of 2004 the other day. My friend from AZ was in and wanted to go to McSorley's (150 year old pub) in Manhattan. Well, because of St. Patty's day, there was a line down the block just to get in (at 2:00 in the afternoon!) and instead, we went to an Irish Pub down the street. I ahd a Rheingold Lager. Man, I don't remember Rheingold EVER tasting that good! But, I was a good boy and only had the one pint. Whatever the reason, that stuff was tasty!

Oh... I don't know, Tommy. I'm thinking Turlough O'Carolan could give Rory a run for his money music-wise. Let's se how they stack up after another 250 years, <GRIN>


Didja hear of the two Irishmen who were in Vatican City looking for a drink?

They stumble into a bar and the barman says, "Gentlemen What Are ya At?" (all barmen are secretly Irish -- even the Italian ones). So they reply, "What Does The Pope Drink??"

The Barman says, "Creme de Menthe!"

"WELL, gi' us a pint o' That then!"

The pints are poured and they drink about half on the first go... One Irishman says to the other, "No wonder he wears a red beanie and silk shoes!!"

If ye don't mention Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains, there'll be a row fer sure. Also, Frankie McCort has been mighty influential of late, of that there's no denyin'.

I believe the McCorts have been known to darken the door at McSorley's. I think Charlie Rose did a remote with Frank there, if I am not much mistook.

The Chieftains don't do rock and roll or blues.

Oh, MarkO, ye should be updatin' yerself, and that's fer sure. Have ye had the good fortune to hear the Chieftains' CDs entitled "The Long Black Veil" or "Tears of Stone"? Tune yer ear up fer sure, those will.

I'm Irish
and right now I'm eating green split pea soup with ham, onions and garlic. I should do something green with that. BTW, add Brendan Behan to the list of top notch Irishmen. And, my German grandmother who always claimed that if it wasn't for the wheelbarrow the Irish would never have learned to walk on their hind legs.
