Happy St. Paddies Day

Erin Go Braugh

May the enemies of Ireland never eat bread nor drink whiskey,

but be afflicted with itching without the benefit of scratching

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold on to one blade of

grass and not fall on the face of the earth.

Here's to our wives and girlfriends:

May they never meet!

Here's to Eve the mother of us all,

And here's to Adam who was Johnny on the spot when the leaf

began to fall.

[Brett]

"Here's a toast to our enemies'  enemies!"  :toast:

"May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live."  :toast:

"May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past."  :toast:

"Here's to me, and here's to you,
And here's to love and laughter -
I'll be true as long as you,
And not one moment after."   :toast:

 :mrgreen:

Day after:

Anyone have a good bloody mary recipe?

[Brett]

No Bloody Mary recipe but I discovered back in my drinking daze... I mean days... that sport drinks such as Gaiter-Aid replace fluids and electrolytes that are lost when you over indulge helping to relieve the symptoms.  

By the way do you know what causes the headache you get with a hangover?  Your brain is cushioned be water inside your skull, alcohol acts as a diaeretic, removing water from your body.  The headache is caused by your brain literally banging against the inside of your skull. :eek:

[jh45gun]

I never have been bothered by headaches with a hangover but boy does my stomach let me know!

[Brett]

I never have been bothered by headaches with a hangover but boy does my stomach let me know!

Starchy food like plain toast or saltine crackers sometimes helps there.  Ginger-ale is also good for settling your stomach.

Hah...And my folks thought I didn't learn anything in college.  :eek:

i find for a hangover the best cure is greasy pizza, although i didn't try that yesterday. i don't drink very often, and over indulge even less, but being of Irish descent i had no choice on Thursday.after loading my self on Irish stew, corned beef, cabbage and bacon, scones and 3 pints of Guiness( which i don't normally touch) i waddled home and surfed GBO & CGN while sipping some Tullamore Dew and listening to some good Irish music, wishing i had an Irish contract No.4 or an Irish Free State No.1 Mk 3 to fondle....

]I'll tell you a story that happened to me
one day as I went out to Yaw by the sea
the day it was hot, the sun it was warm
says I "A quick pint wouldn't do me no harm"
I went in and i called for a bottle of stout
says the barman,"I'm sorry all the beers sold out
try whiskey young Paddy ten years in the wood"
says I, "I'll have cider I've heard that it's good"

Chorus:
Oh never, oh never, oh never again
if I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
well I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
after drinking the quart of the Johnny Jump Up



After lifting a third I came out by the yard
where I walked into Brofie the big civic guard
"Come 'ere to me boy don't you know I'm the law"
so I uped with me fist and I shattered his jaw
well he fell to the ground his knees doubled up
sir it wasn't i hit him, 'twas the Johnny Jump Up

next thing that I met down by Yaw by the sea
was a cripple on crutches and says he to me
I'm afraid for me life I'll be hit by a cart
won't you help me across to the highwaymans bar"
but after drinkin' a quart of the cider so sweet
he threw down his crutches and danced in the street



Chorus:




Well I went down to Liro a friend for to see
they call it the Madhouse in Cork by the lee
but when I got there should the truth I will tell
they had the poor bugger locked up in a cell
so's the guard tested him "say these words if you can:
around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran"
"Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad
'twas only the sip of the cider I had

Chorus:

A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb
they washed him they Layed him outside on the slab
and after O' Connor his measurements did take
his wife took him home for a bloody fine wake
well about twelve O'clock and the beer it was high
the corpse sits up and says he with a sigh
"I can't get to heaven they won't let me up
till I bring them a quart of the Johnny Jump Up"

Chorus:
