I come from a back ground were I found out that some of my relatives were part Irish and performed in the Royal Traveling Irish Carnival. They were riggers in the carnival and the helped set up all the tents and equipment for the performers. It does not matter if your Irish or not may a bit of the Irish luck be with you today and have a good stick to celebrate the day. For me it will be a Diamond Crown Maximus
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY ALL

The green sun setting over Cigar Asylum makes me Irish.
I'm sure I've got some Irish in me somewhere, but I'm mostly Scottish and Dutch.

Irish would be a green smell, the aroma your exuding this morning, (I am guessing) from your Reuben is (if aromas have color) more brownish. :fu

My Grand-Mother blessed me with my middle name claiming she "wanted to make sure I should have a strong Irish name to fall back upon."

The name Shannon Finerty has served me well!

Happy St. Patrick's day my friends!

My Great-great-grandfather was Irish (married to a Cherokee). There may even be more in the UK part of my bloodline. There is more Scot, though.

BTW, you can't even say "Shannon Finerty" with out it sounding like you have an Irish accent. :D

I had met an old lady on a train platform in NY. She said to me "Oh, you must be Irish, I can see the blue of the Irish Sea in your eyes and the road map of Ireland on your face!" (The road map being the red veiny complexion of too much drink.)
Ever since that day I've been trying to forget about all the French and the other assorted nasty bits in me.:o

Could have some Irish on my father's side but will never know as I don't know him. Spanish (by way of Cuba a long time ago), German and a little French on my mom's side.

Closest I get to being Irish is the rare occasion I have a little green $$ on me. :D

My mother's great-grandparents came over from County Cork. Of the many family legends, most of which I am sure are total bull, my favorite is the one about the Conroy family entering Ellis Island -- the story is that all six of the male children were named James -- Big Jim, Little Jim, Middle Jim, etc. I never believed this story until my uncle did the genealogy and showed me the documents.

Then there was the time my grandfather was thrown out of boarding school for firing a shotgun in the dormitory. And of course Great Aunt Rose, the psychic, who told my grandfather that he wouldn't marry the girl he brought home to meet the family, because he would marry a redhead. And of course, he did not marry that girl and later on he did marry my grandmother, who had red hair.

And so on... that's what makes me Irish. Among other things.
