    Pig had a flash that lucky was not a good adjective to bring up

    Considering the display of what most Americans think is Irish culture every March it’s just as well Pig kept quiet.

    Irish 7 course dinner: 6-pack of beer and a potato (not my joke, I am not a bigot, PC-types keep your own counsel).

    Actually, Pig, it’s all you really need to know.

    i do know something about irish history. that the great potato famine was created by a fungus. that the brits wouldn’t send help to irish peasants. so, many of them died, emigrated, or did somethings to be not go hungry. or, that the catholic church in ireland did some really bad things to kids for decades.

    Roddy Doyle. Not history, but his books are great. The Troubles, Michael Collins, the Catholic Church, the English, Black & Tan.

    I know it doesn’t pay to look for four-leaf clovers among poison ivy.

    I know Katherine Webb apparently watches Irish football…and apparently everyone else watches Katherine Webb.-Yes, barkeep, I’ll have the tall blonde in the black skirt! (Irish euphemism for a pint of Guinness.)

    As far as Goat knows, Lucky Charms are not indigenous to Ireland. So, be of good cheer, Pig. Your record is untarnished.

    Congratulations Mr. Pastis, you’ve just won yourself a lifetime supply of oversugared, chemically-colored cereal!

    Pig knows more than you think . . . Lucky the Leprechaun (aka Sir Charms), is, like all leprechauns, descended from the Tuatha Dé Danan, who were the fifth tribe to settle Ireland, conquering the island from the Fir Bolg. They were masters of druidry, but later defeated by the Milesians, and forced to dwell underground in the Sidhe mounds, guarding their hoards of multi-colored marshmallow toasted oat cereals.

    My younger daughter, who sometimes got her words mixed up, called them “Charmy Lucks.” One of her daughters, on the rare occasion that she gets some, will eat the marshmallows and leave the oat cereal when not that hungry.

    Watching PBS, I discovered that there’s a sport in Ireland called Hurling which the Irish are crazy about, but the rest of the world barely even knows about. It’s interesting to watch.

    also, corned beef and cabbage is not an irish dish, it is an irish-american dish.

    the phrase “luck of the irish” doesnt make sense because historically, that luck is really freaking bad
