More classic SNL, but with pipes!
Well said. I don't really take part in the festivities. My family has been traces back to the very boat my ancestors came to Canada on fleeing the famine. Maybe I'm getting senile but the thought of a bunch of people pretending to be Irish for a day by getting drunk and rowdy doesn't sit well with me in our politically correct world. Anyways well said. Made me tear up fuck.St Patrick’s Day has become more of a somber day for me. Now for me it’s a day to remember those lost on Bloody Sunday and throughout The Troubles, to remember what the Irish endured during the famine, and the struggles the Irish had to gain independence.
It’s very inspiring to know what the Irish people have been through and still have so much pride in their culture.
Got a bit of the Irish in our tree as my dad's line spent some 150 years in county Antrim prior to heading to North America. Can also relate to the bagpipe part as well as we'd been living in Scotland before Antrim.Starting my morning off with some good coffee and some Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream. I do have some Irish ancestry, but most of my family's history has been lost through deaths and displacement. My grandfather, dad's side, died when my father was 2 yrs old and all his siblings separated... things of that nature. So, I thought that I could strip down and kneel in my prayer closet and give myself 50 lashings, or have fun. Once I get good'n caffeinated and drunk, I'm going outside side to play Amazing Grace over and over (because I'm rusty and it's the only song in the old memory bank) until I get a mob with pitchforks and torches to come after me, or they call the cops for disturbing the peace. Doing my part on Saint Patrick's Day Happy St. Patrick's Day! View attachment 296449View attachment 296450
