Thread Name: BS: Why are the Irish so Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Irish so Irish?
Well, somebody has to do it!

My gggg-grandmother was a Connoly. Okay, so she was born in Pennsylvania, so what? Her husband was right off the boat from Germany in 1775 and fought in Washington's army. Anyway, here I am, some 200+ years later, and my favorite food groups are beer, cheese and sausage, not necessarily in that order.

(here in the south we call 'em TATERS, by the way...)

When I was about 20 years old I was terribly in love with an Irishman. But I had to go back to the States and he took off for Australia and we each married someone else. But I have very fond memories of him. Thank God the Irish are Irish.
