See for example this thread first.

It wasn't Ben and Jerry's plans
for their new ice cream called "Black and Tan"
to raise such a stink.
(In Ireland, I think
the name conjures dead football fans.)

[grey_whiskers]

Typical arrogant liberals.

This would be as sensitive as marketing something called "Ku Klux Krisp" in Alabama.

Your Limerick is funny, though I'm not too sure about the last line...

Anyway, how come Limericks are so called? Why aren't they called 'Galways' or 'Dublins'?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Maybe because people from Galway aren't that witty.

Heh, heh.

:-)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yeah, I had forgotten Galway people are bores!!

*remembers Do not dub me shapka broham has Galway roots, Irish_Thatcherite tries to take foot from mouth*

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Ha.

Actually, my father's side of the family was is pretty entertaining.

There's an amusing laminated picture of my older cousin-a member of the FDNY-covered in soot and dirt after coming back from a call, standing next to another firefighter-who was supposedly a contestant on "Survivor"-dressed in his immaculate uniform, who looks like he just came in from a shoot for GQ Magazine.

My grandmother was also pretty feisty.

LOL!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yeah, I wish I had taken some pictures of it at the last reunion.

The Cleary side of my family has all of these neat scrapbooks and family photo albums, whereas we don't have any photos-to the best of my knowledge-of us.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Ah.. no one wants to look at scrapbooks anyway - scrapbooks are for people who don't have anything to say!!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Perhaps.

"This is a picture of Do not dub me shapka broham when he was a baby."

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

LOL.
