“2. The Dropkick Murphys”
i love bands that modernize traditional ethnic music. dropkick murphys are cool, as is flogging molly and gogol bordello.
You are my hero, M4L. I almost forgot a 2PM appointment. Jeez. I’m losing it. So long, PLUSAs.

Have a nice day, Lechacal.”
Thanks Dona!
you know what’s funny? a few weeks back i went to the brooklyn inn and ordered an irish car bomb, and the guy behind the counter (American, fighting someone else’s fight) starts lecturing me about how insensitive that is. so i went to ceol and drank irish car bombs with the irish bartender, who thought the story was hilarious.
Donatella, it’s only minefields if the explosion is something that gets your attention AND triggers a reaction. Not as prolific as Lech or Rob, I trigger explosions and just keep marching thru
Have a nice day, Lechacal.
Tammany existed before the Irish, but it soon became linked with new Irish immigrants for the reasons donatella stated.
I would like to thank the Boston Irish for:
1. House of Pain
2. The Dropkick Murphys
3. Fodder for great movies like The Departed and Mystic River.
Other than that, I would like to extend a gigantic FUCK YOU middle finger to the BPD unit that used to patrol my neighborhood when I was a student. Those guys can go fuck an irish harp with a bottle of jameson.
Cobble, everything here feels like a minefield sometimes.
