Pithy sayings especially the play being badly cast.

Happee St Patrick's Day!
Those are good proverbs, particularly the last one! Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to you.
Mack guess what I learned about 3/17...it is also special because we celebrate St. Gertrude Patron Saint of Cats and Cat Lovers.
I had no idea. Also even thought I am 99.9% southern American I'm told way back in the dark ages my peoples lived in Scotland and Ireland. You know any reason to celebrate so we had a delicious brisket, potatoes, carrots and taters for supper. However, in stead of soda bread I made corn bread to celebrate my 99.9% SouthernNESS
Hugs to you and FSG and Grandma

Mackerull, we luv it! All the Irish sayings are just what we believe in even ifn we never saw 'em written down afore. Lynn's got da Irish in her, but the Scot in her is da tight wad she is, mol. Hope you had da green nippy fur St. Paddy Day, I did. Precious
Terrific!
Mackerull, you're not late at all, it seems that they're still pawtying in IrelandπThose are great Irish sayings! Extra Pawkisses for a Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and the gurl tooπΎπ½π
Belated happy St Paddy's Day! It was the usual massive student street party in my city! ππ»
Happy St. Patrick’s day!
Very nice items from her Grandpa. Excellent proverbs too. XO
That was fun and I hope your St. Patrick's Day was too!
How neat to see Great Great Grandpa Barry's gear. And we loved those proverbs, too. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and The Girl, Mack! XO
This is quite a shillelagh! Happy St. Patrick's Day on St. Joseph's Day, I think they are all friends and don't mind sharing.
Charlee: "Happy belated St. Patrick's Day! That hat, pipe, and shillelagh are such cool things to have from great great grandpa Barry!"
Chaplin: "Our Dada's Dada has some pipes from our Dada's great-uncle Tony, but no hats and no shillelaghs! Although the no-shillelaghs thing is at least partly because they're Italian on that side of the family ..."
I have an old one: Sister Mary got drunk as a skunk and fell face first on her twat
That is so nice to have those things that help to preserve the knowledge of your roots!
We hope you had a good celebration, however you did it.
We had Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake, LOL! (Though Pawppy has some British in his background he's mostly Danish/German/American, Petcretary is a first generation Canadian coming from 100% Dutch heritage.
Wonderful to have your grandpaws' remembrances. Love love the proverbs. Next year meowmie wants to go the local St. Patrick's Day Parade sporting a pair of green whiskers and ears in honor of St. Gertrude--MOL MOL!! xoxox, Bibi & Meep
Good ones. I like the bit about the badly cast play, but the last one is cleverly phrased; I may use it myself.
I like those proverbs better than some of the Irish ones I've read! Hope your St. Patrick's Day was purrfect!
My first love loaned my fifteen-year-old self a book of risque limericks with a note asking me to call. lol Due to sheer loneliness I'd been out on a passionless date with a friend of his, who was understandably upset by my soon being stolen away. The guy and I spent five years together, four of them happy. ~sigh~ That young man, in turn, accidentally and regretfully introduced me to my husband during the tumultuous end. Hubby and I have been together since 1989. Wow... I sure digressed. ~shakes head~ I'm proud of my Irish heritage, by the way. Be well!
Excellent proverbs, Mack, and better late than never, says we.
Grandson at door...coming back to read this slowly. I'ma gonna love it!!!! XXOO
I do love it. Katie's client is gone..and I read every word. Happy late St.Patricks Day!!!
We hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, Mackerull. We love all those Irish proverbs!
Hope you had a pawsome St Patty's Day!
Happy belated St. Patrick's Day!! Oh wait... everyday should be St. Patrick's Day, right?? :). Juno xo
