hey... thanks for the contributions. (no metal for me, though!) My favorite: Loreena McKennit, Clannad, Hevia, Luar na Lubre, and also some local (Argentine) bands...
you know the Irish love 3 things, mostly - God, beer and the Irish... (in fact, they say God created beer to prevent the Irish from dominating the world!) I'm sharing an Irish joke first, then a toast. hope you like them (and if you have some, post them!)
Irish joke:
McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, he started to leave.
"S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?"
"Nothing," he replied, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."
Toast:
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint-- and another one!
