Top O the morning to ya, D and to everyone.

Ya see, I’m irish, but I’m not a leprechaun
You wanna fight, then step up and we’ll get it on
You gotta right to the grill, I’m white and I ill
A decendant of dublin with titanic skill
I ducked and I swing, next thing your jaw’s broken
Punk I ain’t jokin’, you can bet you’ll be chokin’
On a fist full a nothin’, meanwhile I’ll be puffin’
On a fat blunt, run punk, you don’t know the half
Tryin’ to talk #&%!$, man, please don’t make me laugh
These irish eyes are smilin’, I’m buckwildin’
The house of pain is pumpin’, start jumpin’
Freak it, funk it, back seat junk it
If you can’t get with it, you’ll wind up sweatin’ it
Then you’ll get a beatin’ just like an egg
It’s so hard to run when you’ve got a broken leg
But we can have a run off, the house of pain’ll come off
We got the cake that you’re tryin’ to get a crumb off
The irish stylee, the celtic jazz
No one has it, just us that’s it
If you try to take it, I got a big shileighly
I don’t have dreads cause I shave my head daily
You call me a skin head, I call you a pin head
Yo, where you been man, just like the tin man
You got no heart, here comes the good part
I pick ’em, buck ’em, cut ’em up, and buck them down
No #&%!$in’ around
Home boy ya get clown like krusty, trust me
You shouldn’t play, and by the way
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya

Cummins . . .Killian's is made by Coors (of course, Guiness is an English company now . . .so there's not much to choose).


100% Irish . . .

Lee . . . .thanks. This was in

know about Guiness.

"Irish brewer George Killian in town to celebrate St. Pat's Day — and, of course, beer

Yes, Virginia, there is a George Killian, and he's coming to Nashville today.

The man behind George Killian's Irish Red, the famous red beer that shares his name, is in town to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and promote his famous lager.
George Killian Lett anchors
five generations of brewing in
Ireland. Since 1981 his beer has been made by Coors in
the United States, but that came
to pass years after he made the
difficult decision to shutter the the family brewery in County
Wexford.
Killian Lett will raise a pint at
Dan McGuinness Pub at noon
and then enjoy more food and
drink in the evening 6-8:30pm
at Jimmy Kelly's.

Lee & gmctrucker,

our squad took a tour through
Coors when we were in
Colorado for mountain training
a few years back. It was one of
the most fun things that I had
ever done . . . . all the free beer
we wanted to drink at the end
of the tour.

When I have been on trips with people named Tom its confusing.

Mark is my real name.

My last name is Welsh/Irish.

Yup. South Boston. I have an Aunt (last name Doherty) who lives just down the street from the high school. Used to have one of the largest open houses in Southie every St. Patrick's day.


There are Brady, Callahan's, Doherty's, etc etc in my family . .as well as my own last name . ..which is as unmistakably Irish as they come.

Only the Irish have Jokes Like These
Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy,
looking like he'd just been run over by a train.
His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken,
his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp
"W hat happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.
" Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.
"That little #&%!$, O'Conner," says Sean,
"He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."
"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had,
and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
" Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, didn't you have something in your hand?"
That I did," said Paddy, "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."


**********************************************************************************************************
An Irishman who had a little too much to drink
is driving home from the city one night and,
of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.

A cop pulls him over.
"So," says the cop to the driver,
where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course,"
slurs the drunk.
" Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite
a few to drink this evening."
"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and
folding his arms across his chest,
"that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk.
"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."


***********************************************************************************************************
Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual,
when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks.
"I've somethin' to tell ya".
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim.
But where's my husband?"
"T hat's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda."
There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me." "
I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry.
Fina lly, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat
of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim.
Did he at least go quickly?"
Tim replied, "Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee."



************************************************************************************************************
Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after
his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears.
He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"
She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news.
My husband passed away last night."
The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible.
Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"
She says, "That he did, Father."
The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? "
She says, "He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun...' "


*********************************************************************************************************

AND THE BEST FOR LAST

Adrunk staggers into a Catholic Church,
enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing.
The Priest coughs a few times to get his
attention but the drunk continues to sit there.
Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall.
The drunk mumbles, "ain't no use knockin,
there's no paper on this side either!"

There were three priests going to Pittsburgh by train. There was a young priest, one of middle age and an elderly priest. They gave the money to the young priest and instructed him to be sure to get the change in nickels and dimes to tip the porters (a very old joke...).

He went to the window and there was a fetching young lady in a see-through blouse. The young man was somewhat flustered and with his voice cracking he asked, “I’d like three pickets to Tittsburgh, please...” His face turned crimson and he ran back to the other priests saying he just couldn’t get the tickets...

The middle-aged priest took the money and when his got to the front of the line he immediately saw what the young priest’s problem was. “I’d like three tickets to Pittsburgh, “ he said, “and I need the change in nipples and dimes...” … and he walked back to the group in embarrassment.

So the elderly priest went to get the tickets. He got to the window and said, “I’d like three tickets to Pittsburgh, please, Mum. And I’d like me change in nickels and dimes, if you please. And ah…but you’re such a fine young woman, I’m certain that when you pass through the Pearly Gates, Saint Finger will be pointin’ his peter atcha.”

As an Irishman and being born on St. Paddy's day OH, Danny boy sucks...for the number one reason it was written by a Brit that never visited the Emerald Isle...the persecutors of the Irish people.
