They sound like the barenaked ladies without the sense of humor…. Not too bad Harold. But I’m more of a Flogging Molly type of guy…

Wow, Craig. After all of this time (i.e. the last year I’ve read your stuff), I feel like I’m just getting to know you.

All of this has caused me to get my MP3 player out of my truck so I can listen to some good old fashioned Irish music. I may just dance a Jig too. Dropkick Murphy’s anyone? Kiss me! I’m sh!t faced!! I’m soaked, I’m soiled, and brown…….

Well played, well played indeed…. Actually I can think of a few I’d like back on the shoulders come to think of it. Mrs. Jonny5 would kick me in the irish potatoes though….

And why would you want to get the redhead off your shoulders anyway?

Well, I guess we can accept him back—on a probationary basis, though. One slip-up and it’s the sheleighly for him!

Well, not so much you, but I didn’t want to offend any PC police lurking in the bog around here.

Eh, not his fault. His mom divorced the Mick and married the Paisan. You’ll be shocked to learn why she left Jimmy McIntyre: seems he had a problem with drinking and fighting. Really.

I’m quite serious…and don’t call me Shirley.

Your dad ditched the Mick and went Paisan? We of the shamrocks hereby disown him…but that only holds true for him. His offspring are welcome to return to the ancestral sod.

Offend me??? Surely you jest sir.

Actually: Calcaterra is my father’s adoptive name. He was born a McIntyre, which was my biological grandfather’s name. I was born with red hair. My beard, when I have it, still grows in red.

With a name like Calcaterra, I’d have pegged you as a Mick…hmmm, you’re full of surprises.

I was going to post something incredibly inappropriate and irreverant, but I didn’t want to offend you. Suffice it to say it started with fire….

And as if on cue, Cake’s “Going the Distance” just started streaming on wmmr.com (a Philly rock station). Damn I’m good.

Guinness for the dugout and the field. If you get on base, Davey Lopes (oops…he’s not here anymore —sigh—)…Juan Samuel gives you a Jameson’s neat for running the bases. If you strike out, they switch your Guinness to Bass. If you get picked off watching the pitcher stick out his tongue at you or looking at the birdies, they switch the Guinness to Irish coffee—WITHOUT the Jameson’s (ruh-roh, JDub!!!!).

Add lame trends to the list of similarities we maintain with our mother country.

By the way, that hat is atrocious. Feel free to steal the logo or some photos of the Irish team from my page – http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Emerald-Diamond/189723371043136

I have a “thing” for redheaded women!!! Is that irrelevant to this post? Probably. Just had to get it off my shoulders I guess…..

Yeah, but that’s just for sippin’. What do you do when you want to drink?

No, it’s a hipster hat. But it’s a British hipster hat. I snagged the image from a UK website. My guess is that it’s sold to English hipster kids who are trying to piss of their English parents.

Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:36:35 +0000

Oh and Craig, is that supposed to be an Irish baseball cap, instead of a trendy, hipster, Ireland-loving trucker hat?

All comments so far reference alcohol in an Irish-centric post. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Now let’s get drunk and fight.
