Well yesterday we had sun & blue skies, interspersed with snow flurries.

This is awesome! Almost as awesome as blue skies interspersed with lots of rain! :D

I... I like the rain. A lot.

Come to Ireland! We have lots. xD

But... but... I'm Scottish*...

* By ancestry (as well as Native American). I'm also Scotch-Irish by ancestry, but I don't know if that counts!

We're also known as the kind of Irish that really piss people off.

Incidentally, I got a half-liter bottle of Jameson from a friend yesterday as a birthday present.

Oh-ho!

I'd give you my stomach. I haven't used it for the past four years.

Is it wool on the outside? If so, I'll take it if Solnes doesn't want it.

I recently discovered that the white part of my family is Scottish, not Irish. Should I start doing things differently?

Probably, but it would also be good to know more:

1. Highland?
2. Lowland/Border?
3. Scot-Irish?

The latter are the descendant of Scots from the Ulster plantation, who are kind of their own special deal, and later migrated to the New World in droves. ::Sits tall::

Ale and whisky for everyone!

I am dubious of the authenticity of this leprechaun you mention. This leprechaun wears neither green nor orange which makes him from neither of the two Irelands I am familiar with.

I predict sectarian violence!

Yeah, when I tell some people my great-grandparents came off the boat from Ireland, they start looking at me like I'm going to kick their teeth in and steal their watch.

Seriously? That's silly. Everyone knows to steal iPads, not watches. Eyes Taig

Justin has one too! And he lives closer!

Yea but I am also Irish!

I'm half Irish, half Scottish.

Which, ironically, may not make you Scots-Irish.

Also, Patrick and Kruelaid, stop arguing about beer, everyone knows the best one is made in Germany and the Czech* Republic.

* I miss Czechoslovakia, mostly for the "Q: What's the capital in Czechoslovakia? A: Oslo" joke.

Bah! May I acquaint you with a place called Belgium? And for that matter, the United Kingdom.

I've been to both. My statement stands. For one thing, the Germans would view something as vile as strawberry beer as an affront to the purety laws.

Unless you are intending to exclude ales, and we're talking best, Belgium wins. The existence of Lambics has no effect on the achievement of bestness I might give you Germany over the UK, but not by as much as people tend to think. But Czech? That's just silly.

There's a reason they call it pilsner

Pshaw! Guinness, I say!

Guiness doesn't really help Mairkurion's argument, though, seeing as it's the green option.

The Guinness family is Protestant (Church of Ireland). I do not let certain unfortunate politics detract form the reality that it belongs with UK beers. As a descendant of Ulstermen, don't get me started.

+1. :)

+2! I would kill for some rum punch right now.

+3 for the Guinness. Carbombs all around!

We're a guinness group I guess?

Like I said, don't get me started. I don't drink anything named for f%@@ing terrorists.

But yeah, definitely a part of the Guinness group.

Home rule was supposed to take care of everything. But now they're trying to take our part of the land, too, the bloody bastards!

Happy St. Patrick's Day my FaWTL brethren!

Now I'm off to work.

Indeed! Luck o' tha Irish to ya.

Or, Scotch-Irish in my case.

I know I will be wearing orange today.

Thanks and Happy St Patrick's!

I also really recommend Meehan's, and not just for drinks and pub grub, but for a full Irish breakfast.

I'm going to prepare a march through here!

You know, Kevin, if you don't give us a heroic *something* of limericks for St. Patrick's Day, a lot of green-wearing drunkards will be very upset.

Just so long as they stay in *their* threads.

Blitz against the IRA!

After that, they should visit Northern Ireland.
