    In reply to Muhammad Ali: Irishman
    Apparently, it's all down to the Irish-language TV station TG4 that the family of The Greatest was traced back to Ennis. Having known a few Ennis men in my time, and come to grief at the hands of their charm, Ali certainly didn't lick it off the road.
    Savage Sawdocs video, by the way. I defy anybody - Irish, WASP, whatever - not to have a good time at one of their gigs. Legends

    @momof3wildkids: The Irish are not WASPs. It's kind of the point of being Irish.

    Okay, it was still kind of funny. Just saying.

    @Atilla the Bun: and @iconoclastodon I am referring to Irish of the Orange persuasion.

    As my peeps hail from counties Armagh, Mayo, and Kerry, and several relatives died in a blaze of glory fighting in the Black and Tan war, I'm familiar with those uptight Protestants!

    Great video above of the Saw Doctors.... get that WASP off my sandwich!

    @momof3wildkids: Hate to burst your bubble there O Wild One, but there ain't no Protestants in Mayo. Unless you're talking about some fetish night in Armagh, in which case, as you were.

    She was intrigued that Obama's Irish ancestors hail from a town called Moneygall in Co. Offaly. Immediately she began, as she always does, playing around with the word.


    "That's what this crisis is all about," she said. "Money and the gall of people and how they treated it."


    That pun is Offaly.
