St. Patrick's Day

[Riesstiu IV]

These stupid parades remind me of one guy in high school who would make some mention of his Irish heritage in nearly every conversation. Imagine Blake's monomania for Buddhism and then transform that into a man obsessed with being Irish, as if it made him a unique flower or something.

Even the slightest mention of Ireland would send him into a excited frenzy where he would proceed to lecture people in our class about being Irish. His only friend was some bald ogre sub-human who worked at a haunted house for children because his appearance was so grotesque, it was the only job available for him.

Christ, that was an awful class.

I'll pass. I have plenty of Irish relatives much closer to home to snack on.

"We"



Read my lips.

You. Are. American.

Why?

Ethno-nationalistic identity overload, that's why. Or Plastic Paddyism, as some of us call it call it here. I drink in Irish pubs full of real Irishmen every week. It's part of North London. I also drink Guinness, because I happen to like it more than other beers.

Then once a year every USAian with a drop of Irish ancestry starts pretending they're Irish and jigging about in stupid bloody great hats and ridiculous wigs and shamrocks....

[Donegeal]

I'm not Irish. I don't believe I have any Irish ancestry. I don't even drink. I just happen to have a bastardisation of an Irish City/County as my Login.

[Starchild]

I think I'm about 1/4 Irish and the rest is English/Scottish filler.. Most of my family spent its history oppressing the other side of my family.
