Og here.

[camwyn]

J. ask Og say something for J. Since Og not get see "Hidalgo" last night (Og still mad- in Og day little bit snow not stop Og clan go other clan cave for mog-ur story!), Og say sure.

*ahem*

"Clan of J. come from Ireland. Clan of J. come from northern Ireland. Clan of J. also come from England. And Scotland. And other place, but that not matter today."

"Most of J. clan people spend too much time stomp on other J. clan people heads many many moon ago. J. pretty sure J. left side should be beating crap out of J. right side with way J. clan put together."

"Long story short: J. not wear green today. J. not wear orange today. Anyone give J. flack for not wear green, J. stab to death with knitting needle. Needle orange. Thing on needle green. There. Irish. Happy?"

My post this morning also has to do with groups of people being violent at other groups of people, and responses... what is it with humans anyway?

[camwyn]

Huh. Og want answer for J., but Og not sure what gesture J. make mean. In Og day that mean 'no, YOU go cut liver out of mammoth carcass'.

Anyway.

Og think human race still in cave, even if not know. Not want any other clan come into hunting ground. Want take other clan hunting ground, too- just in case own clan hunting ground go bad. And since no good mog-ur any more (or not enough good mog-ur), bad mog-ur and stupid mog-ur and crazy mog-ur say, sure, spirits okay with that. So people do stupid thing and think stupid thing good.

People not want admit this what people think. But that how it is. Too many people still in cave whether want say so or not.

Toon have friend say things like that a lot. Toon friend think human race should get rid all marks on trees say "You no come here, this our hunting ground" and turn whole world into one big hunting ground for everybody.

Toon friend say Toon would make dandy mog-ur. This make Toon very, very nervous.

Well, I'm wearing my kilt (which is olive) and a Guinness t-shirt. However, I do this on any given day, so it's hardly worth comment.

Really, though, St. Patrick's Day in America isn't so much an actual celebration of Ireland and Irish culture as it is the celebration of some theoretical and vague celtic culture which involves beer, green things, and more beer. This is something I can always support.

J. mom boss come from Ireland. J. mom boss say "know what people in Ireland do for Saint Patrick Day? THEY GO TO CHURCH."

[genarti]

B. mother point out that clan of B. come from orange parts of Ireland. (B. mother not actually care, but like old mog-ur stories.)

B. father say okay. B. father wear green and orange. B. father happy because include both hunting grounds.

B. think B. father good share hunting ground. B. think B. father bad choose own furs.

[batyatoon]

Toon wear green today. Toon not plan wear green today; it just happen.

Toon fairly certain that Irish actually long-lost members of clan of Toon, though, so it all good.

All's I know is that working just north of the parade and just off Fifth Avenue, the area around me is innundated in kelly green, with roaming marching bands going to their buses home, and every off-duty firefighter in the city making his way from the parade to the pubs on Third Avenue. I even saw a firefighter from Boston pass by in the company of a locla comrade.

And then I had to deal with the hordes going home from the parade on the train.

Why can't they hold this parade on the West Side just once?

(OTOH, it's still a lot more interesting than the stodgy old Salute to Israel Parade, which lacks for many Jewish cops and firefighters, and for marching bands from yeshivas.)

hahahaha...

Try being Polish and German. My right side should be annexing my left side for fun.

Hold on minute. Og get note.

[camwyn]

*squints at note*

Note say, "J. clan only Irish, English, Scottish, B- Ba-" *squints again* "Ba-va-ri-an on father's side. J. mother part of clan from Italy. Spend most their history beat up each other even though from same country. J. surprised J. not explode."

Re: Hold on minute. Og get note.

Guy I know once explained his complicated ancestry by saying that his left big toe likes to paint itself blue and beat up the rest of him.

*laugh* I'm an eighth Spanish, an eighth Italian, a quarter Puerto Rican, and half Greek.

I think my sides have given up trying to figure out who's supposed to be doing what to whom and started having a party with lots of loud music and dancing and assorted alcohol. Oh, and they all flail their arms around a lot.

I wore blue 'cos it was Wednesday. Well, okay, I wear blue most days, but on Wednesdays it's with a bit more intent.

I did, however, make corned beef and cabbage, but that's less of an Irish-association than a home-and-mom-and-March association -- which I can't have at home due to Mike's aversion to the smell of boilt cabbage. Bah!

So I foisted it on the Greyhaven gang instead. 8-)
