Good Morning, Grog! Three Irish Coffee Floats, please???

Good morning, Ooops!

You’re starting the day off right, aren’t you? Enjoy.

No Irish Soda Bread??? I was looking at recipes….. it doesn’t look hard to make (once you decide on a recipe). I bet it would go really excellent with

(Blows Raspberries!)

In honor of the holiday, I have filled my jelly gun with green mint jelly. Which I am told some people like on lamb. Strange.

Please remember not to eat any green potatoes unless you know they are green because they were colored. Potatoes that turn green from being left in the sun are poisonous and will make you very very ill or ummm………. If you have green potatoes you can put them in the shade until they are no longer green and then they will be safe to eat again.

Thank you Grog!

I wouldn’t eat any green corned beef either - or any green meat for that matter.

I decided against soda bread, Ooops!, but if you really want it….

Happy St. Paddy’s Day to the Tribe………well…..as to green stuff………do they still serve Shamrock Shakes at Mc D’s??? That was our kids’ favorites mannnnnny years ago.

As for me…..I enjoy Irish Steel Ground Oatmeal……..put a few steamed apple slices and cinnamon on top, and it’s a terrific breakfast!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Montana Lady!

I didn’t see that one in the recipe book.

I don’t think I am Irish though. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

And to-kill-ya is not a St. Patrick’s Day drink, no matter what Bung might tell you.

I could maybe make green Irish Soda bread, serve it to Gma with green eggs and grey ham and green cream cheese on the Irish Soda Bread? Her doctor said her physical health was doing pretty good.

Good Morning Montana Lady

Gray ham?

I have blue colored food spray, if I spray it on the ham………..??

Ooooh! It is almost time to plan for April Fool’s Day. Maybe it would be good to celebrate that a few days early?

Then we could surprise our beloved fools!

I’d go for the pink food coloring.

The ham is pink!!! What is the point in that? Geesh! Next you are going to tell me to dye the eggs yellow?

Oh! Oh! I could soak a piece in green water over night! See what happens!

In radio-active water?

You said the ham was gray.

No! Don’t give me ideas!

Bad Grog! No Cookie For You!!!

I didn’t want one anyway - especially not green cookies.

Good Night Peoples! Rest In Peas Happy St. Patrick’s Day Dance!!!

 

It would look gray after I sprayed it with blue coloring.

Good Night Grog.

Well, I’m done with the toon tour for now. Time to go back to bed. Virtual servers are standing by.

Good night, Ooops!

At Read to Succeed we only serve Green Eggs and Ham on Dr Seuss’s birthday. We then make each student read their favorite Seuss passage. I suppose an exception could be made for a religious holiday. Gotta go peel potatoes, carrots, and onions. Had to go to 3 stores to find a flat cut brisket.

Good Morning, Lewreader.

My Mom always served green eggs on St. Patrick’s Day when I was young in the days before I started drinking..

Already warm here 61° warm to 83°. I mentioned read bad word yesterday and it’s only March. Like everyone else I’m not ready to spend extra money on electric bill.

Good morning, ♥Kab♥

Nice pic, by the way.

Morning All!

Morning, Digital Frog!

Strange we can put picture from photobucket here on comment section but can’t change are icons. I really wish we could like the rest of you but I will have to wait on ones who lost theirs to beable to do mine. I like to see other icons on St Patrick’s day posted on BT. Have a fun time at it. I believe I will have next week off so I’m taking it. I’m far enough ahead. Found out we will be working with essay’s. I had enough problem’s writing 10-12 line paragraphs. I used to much information for short lines. So I will review essay’s to see what involves. A local neighborhood is having garage sale. I plan on going. Though be hard to stay away from books.

♥Kab♥, just a thought, but you may want to start with an outline to help keep the thoughts organized and give the essay structure on paper. Start with an introduction; points to be covered in the body and finally your conclusion.

It usually works for me and I don’t end up repeating myself.

Sleep well, Doctor Toon.

Uh-Huh! Wait til he finds out we have all been wishing a new baby on him. That will make him feel all responsiible and young.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have Irish Stew with lamb, a scone and Irish breakfast tea.

As a kid my brother and I learned what a friends dad did when he fixed supper, he colored all the food with food coloring. We enjoyed doing it when we fixed a meal, especially when we had company. For example, blue mashed potatos with red gravy. It didn’t change the taste and it didn’t bother me (food is food) but some people couldn’t eat it or it would make them sick. It just left more for me!

I have installed the official relaese of IE9 this morning.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Top O’ the Morning, O’Ooops!

Top O’ the morning, O’Sojo

I could never look at green eggs in the morning - especially scrambled.

I’m just bringing my corned beef & cabbage soup to a boil now. It should be ready in about a half hour.

O’Sojo, your order is up. (I almost let “odor” pass undetected.)

Top O’ the morning O’Grog - Thank you!

Good afternoon, O’pseudo

The corned beef & cabbage soup is delish.

Hello O’pseudo - ICT is the aviation designation for Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. It’s often used and is quicker to write for Wichita.

We, the Irish, rule today!!!! Or at least for a moment. If I look really hard, maybe I’ll find that moment.

Greetings TRIBE

I’m just in for a moment off and on today. We have been redoing the floor and cabinets in the kitchen, and it’s time for a break. We just need someone to reconnect the sink and replace the counter. Then there is all the fun of finding and putting back all the stuff we had to take out of the cabinets. I’m hoping to use the opportunity to weed out some more stuff that we don’t use. At least now we have lots of cupboard space, and the kitchen should be easier to work in. It was pretty bad.

O’Grog your soup sounds great. May I invite myself for lunch?

Hello O’serenasakitty - Sounds like you’re busy!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, serena.

You certainly may. I’m already on my second bowl.

I have to run a quick errand. And when I get back, I’m going to be watching The Quiet Man.

BBL

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I’ve got a wee bit o’ Irish in me, my hubby has more. Pseudo - I quit following sports once I got married, since my husband’s interest doesn’t include sports. Oh, he liked to ski, until a “hit tree” from the “Forest Mafia” attacked him, and he’s a pretty good swimmer, but forget any sport that requires catching, throwing, kicking, or hitting a ball. However, it is impossible to live in KS, and not be at least aware of March Madness. Considering Obama’s track record of picking winning teams, I’m going to guess KS will lose. I wish he had picked Ohio instead, for that very reason.

Hello O’Rmom - Good comment, I hope KU wins.

Pseudo - (Blows a raspberry back!) My hubby came up with those terms, I don’t remember the story behind them. He used to ride dirt bikes in the woods when he was growing up, that might have been the “root” (pardon the pun) of those terms.

Hi, Sojo! I’m sure there are many other people in the state who feel like you do!

Hi, Ooooops! Nice raspberry!

Hmmm……. I need a blarney stone.

Wish me Good Luck!

Hello O’Ooops!

Just got back from Sam’s Club. Nice outside!

Hi, Sojo! - 82 degrees, sunny, and the wind is starting to back off a bit. Although, I read there are several grass fires the SG FD is having to fight today.

Top o’ the Morning–err, umm, ah, AFTERNOON, ye Gaelic Tribesmates!

Especially: SR Mom, Ooops!, pseudo, & Sojo!

Ooops! Sherriff_badge said, about 15 targets ago

In honor of the holiday, I have filled my jelly gun with green mint jelly. Which I am told some people like on lamb. Strange.

I always liked mint jelly on, well, toast or bread, meats, just about anything.

But then some people accuse me of being strange. I just can’t figure out why.

Hi Oooops and everyone.

Cute raspberry. That’s just the way I feel sometimes when the world just will not go the way I think it should.

Hi, bmonk! Hi & Bye, Doc! Bmonk - I thought being “strange” was a condition of admission to the tribe?

Maybe it is. But I thought we took anybody.

BTW, I do like Dusty’s riposte to having “a little clown inside”…

Hello O’bmonk!

Hi and Bye O’Doctor Toon.

Hi, serena! bmonk - True, but I thought it took a strange type of person to want to be admitted.

I like NPR’s bumper music–in a bagpipe/Irish jig style.

serena, Hi!

pseudo - Well…flagging is one way. But we’re pretty easy going, so that option isn’t used very often, unless it is a spammer.

Pseudo - I just copied & deleted the post that got ahead of you, and pasted it into a new comment. You caught me!

Hi, DigitalFrog! (Strange–I could have sworn I saw some DFrogs here a moment ago…did the ducks get them?)

Thanks, pseudo - I didn’t get this old without learning a few tricks along the way.

I’ve used it sometimes–but usually quick enough that it hasn’t been noticed, or at least not commented upon.

O’Monk - I don’t do it too often, especially if the comments still make sense in either order. I was hoping I’d be quick enough, but you two were paying attention!

Have a safe drive! I need to head off to another part of the house and get some work done.

Bye O’pseudo and O’Rmom

I’m here–just distracted and quiet. Bye, pseudo and SRMom.

Good evening, O’monk & O’pseudo

I like mint jelly on lamb, however, more often than not, the lamb is good enough to stand on its own.

Now watching Some Like It Hot while getting dinner ready.

Hello again O’Grog and O’pseudo!

O’pseudo,I love The Quiet Man. Some Like It Hot is pretty good too.

I’m now having an Irish coffee before dinner.

Good evening, O’Sojo.

O’Grog - I’m watching Universal Soldier right now. So far it’s good.

When I’m finished this I’m going to watch Son Of Fury, with Gene Tierney.

My it’s gotten quiet….and I don’t think I’ve seen ♠Lonewolf♠ all day.

Me either O’Grog - Movie just finished.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Gene Tierney is positively beautiful in Son of Fury. She plays a native beauty on a South Pacific island.

Sleep well, O’Sojo.

The dog’s name is Dusty!

Thank you O’Monk

I like mint jelly on pears.

You do know they admit peoples to ummm…… circuses?

I don’t like pears so I won’t like mint jelly on them. But then there’s not much in the way of fruit I do like.

Cantelope, raspberries, blue berries and pinapple.

Good Night Pseudo

It is okay, lots of times I don’t know what I am talking about either.

I Scream For Ice Cream!

psuedu, when I go to the grocery store, I avoid the fruit section like the plague for the most part, unless I’ve got a craving for anything mentioned above, but I’m more likely to go where they keep the cheesecake on occasion.

Good night, pseudo.

My turn. I’m beat. It’s been fun, but busy.

Gunite, Tribeandall
