I’m just wondering why this is even news;

Everything I know about the Irish I learned from Family Guy;

I am willing to bet that roughly 50% or more of those arrested are not Irish nationals.

That said, the bar at the Shannon Ireland airport is awesome. I remember coming off the plane from Khrygyzstan and seeing the bar at the end of the hall. And in my brain, our battalion was like the van Trapp children running towards it. Tears streaming down my face unabashedly. I think I may have even hugged a man, and I don’t like being touched. We were on the ground like 2 hours, and I even drank with my namesake, LTC Ortner. Maybe the happiest (clothed) two hours of my life.

What a surprise. Irish revelers get drunk and generate a public nuisance. Besides a few decent Irish novelists and some beer, can anyone tell me why we continue to celebrate this embarrassing part of our European heritage? The theory that all the smart people in Ireland came to America thereby leaving the country to look like an intoxicated Road Warrior landscape seems to be holding true.

A long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Curtis bar, the James’ Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie’s beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O’clock ye stop
for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Lord bless Charlie Mops!
