anyone who pinches me for not wearing green is going to get a heart "POGUE MAHONE!!!" from me...
My father: "You know girls, you're Irish, but that doesn't mean you have to get drunk tomorrow" Me: "No, but it *does* mean that we have to do it on Guinness and Whiskey." My sister: "Bu-dump, bump, crash" (yes, she literally said that)
Dublin by way of Boston, New York, and Nevada, but my family still brings the craic. ;-)

Oh LORD we have SO MANY Irish bars here in town- and actually some of them are GOOD, and not fake normal bars with "O'Somebody" tacked above the door. My best friend is having a party at his house with the roommates and a DJ later tonight, before then I may hit up some of my favorite bars. They block off a major street and have a HUGE street party, etc... loads of local Irish bands, and pretty much anything campy and fun you can think of. Bunch of specials on Irish Car Bombs (which I'm sure isn't their name in Ireland), whiskey, etc... fun times.

LOL ok- I was *SHOCKED* when I heard that was the name of the drink, being Irish, and being heavily into world politics and terrorism from an early age... Drop a shot of Bailey's with a Jameson's floater in a half-pint of Guinness and chug. Tastes AMAZING... completely erases your brain though.

Yup - I've heard of that! I don't think it's something I will drink... don't like GUinness and have done too much damage with whiskey ;) But you have my permission to have as many as you want ;)
It's funny how many cocktails have names that were made up to offend! I still giggle like a teenager at Sex on the beach (which I think is a gorgeous cocktail!)

Haha, true! One MAGICAL thing about the Irish Car Bomb... combined, these things taste like a chocolate milkshake- it's wondrous, like alchemy! Also, you have to drink it quickly so it doesn't get all weird and chunky- Bailey's and carbonation after all. I agree, sex on the beach is pretty tasty- never liked slippery nipples, also dirty sounding. I do love to put cherry vodka in my orange juice though. Or Southern Comfort in Cranberry or Pomegranate juice. lol
