Mom always said that we probably had some Black Irish too, so I guess I’ll have to make my own circle
Black Irish - Black Irish
Folklore
The term “black Irish” refers to persons of Irish descent who are supposed to be descendants of the Spanish Armada, which sailed around the middle of the 15th century, and had dark hair and or eyes. The term is used among people of Irish descent and sometimes confuses people since it doesn’t refer to dark skin color.

I like how The Kid has to shoot the explosives from about a mile away— with a revolver!! and if course he hits it, it explodes, and you see this cow blown up, spinning about 1000 feet in the air... LOL!

I bought a Blu-Ray of this several months ago because I figure it will get dropped from streaming, and/or edited in an adverse way.

I doubt if they could remake THE EMPEROR JONES(1933) today!
Or even WONDER BAR(1934) where a black face al Jolson goes to heaven and relieves THE EMPEROR JONES of his medals in a dice game.

Mel Brooks made at least 4 of the top 10 funniest movies of all times. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein for sure. I’d nominate Space Balls and The Producers for that list as well. Not Mel Brooks, but Airplane and Dr. Strangelove would also be on my list.
