Comments on: St. Patrick’s Day http://www.limmy.com/2008/03/st-patricks-day/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:55:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rico http://www.limmy.com/2008/03/st-patricks-day/#comment-77373 Rico Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:48:00 +0000 http://www.limmy.com/blog/?p=562#comment-77373 So there I was driving down from my new home in BC, Canada to see some relatives in Arizona. St Pat's day saw us on the lookout for scran somewhere in southern Montana. The small town of Butte was the obvious choice. Guidebook suggested many eateries including several purveyors of the Cornish Pasty(?!). Tidy tucker coming up thinks I, happy days. But what's this? (and i mean...) THE WHOLE FUCKING TOON OOT DANCIN' ON THE STREET! Green wigs, green beer bottles, green t-shirts -- even green fucking STETSONS! And falling over pissed to a man, woman and child at 10.30am!!?? Drove in, windows up, around a block and straight back out again. Postponed nosebag until the next town, Dillon. Which luckily was only another 2 hours drive... I was struggling to be persuaded that there can be that much Irish blood in the fair city of Butte. But there's Google and ultimately Amazon to the rescue: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0252061551?tag=connorsgeneal-20&link_code=as3&creativeASIN=0252061551&creative=373489&camp=211189 Boring story. Crazy world. So there I was driving down from my new home in BC, Canada to see some relatives in Arizona. St Pat’s day saw us on the lookout for scran somewhere in southern Montana.

Fin McCool never battered the Scottish giant Brendannon, he just tricked him by getting in his weans pram and Brendannon thought fuk that if that’s the size a his wean! They had kilts first, aye awrite they look like skirts but every Scotsman knows kilts a kilt! Guinness is the only drink of the gods, and ok they spell whisky as wisky but can prove they made it first (well paid English tax on it first) they werny allied wi the Nazis they just hated the English wi good reason and were neutral during the war. Its an actual Celtic nation unlike Scotland cos we were to greedy to fight longer harder and better for the scraps aff the English table. Theve a good fitba team! They beat the English at war and are still fighting wi them cos they spat there rattle oot the pram and created northern Ireland cutting aff there nose to spite there face. everybody in the world wants to be Irish, apart fae the Scottish cos were just second hand paddys anyway, they populated the world to ensure englands raign of terror would one day end. Aye… Tiocfaidh Ar la! They kept there own language and use it, there own sports like hurly and Gaelic fitba fill stadiums 4 times the size a ours weekly. And you don’t get stabbed or abuse hurled at ye for being on the other side. Theres a load mare but my fav 1 is they invented the mighty CELTIC to fuk Rangers fans off and do it very well! Aw that and im still proud to be Scottish even though im a plastic paddy whos blood has been long watered doon wi impurities like Vikings, Anglo Saxons, Romans, Germans Britons and protestants. A wee old IRA man once said to me, ‘sure we only destroyed eveytin we built in England sos we cud go back and built it again when were finished building Eire’ So there! aw aye, St Patrick was kidnapped as a child from Scotland!
