Hey! I like this idea! I can say something and you can't tell whether I'm serious or just pulling your leg and I don't have to tell you which it is and even if I did tell you I could lie about it! Cool!

Okee-dokee! I hate it when people sing in a foreign language. I don't mean "foreign" as in "non-English". I mean foreign as in a language that the singer does not normally speak. French singers should sing in French. Paul McCartney should not. Irish singers who speak Irish should be the only ones allowed to sing in Irish. As they are probably bilingual and speak English as well as they do Irish, they are allowed to sing in either language. Dumb-ass Americans who learn Irish songs phonetically without even knowing what the words mean should be banned from sessions everywhere. They are nothing but pretentious. If I never hear some dip sing "Shule Aroon" again it'll be okay with me.

While we're at it, could we please never hear "Roddy McCorley" again? I know it's in English, but I'm damned well sick of it! It's gotta be the Irish equivalent of "Rocky Top".

Now, that was fun! All you have to do is figure out whether I was serious. And if you accuse me of being a jerk, I'll tell you I was only kidding. Hey, Fred made up the rules, not me!
