I’m half Irish. The baby will be a quarter Irish. Eventually we’ll get drunken potato eating completely out of our gene pool.
I wish we got video of our little baby jumping around; I want to watch that again. Instead, all I have is 24 on the DVR.
Oh boy, I hope our pregnancy doesn’t have a stupid hillbilly subplot like 24! If it does, it will probably be from my wife’s side.
On St. Patrick’s Day: I’m going to drink until I puke tonight. We only have Walmart brand soda at home, but I think that’ll work. I hope Bible Study doesn’t mind.
Man, I can’t wait to finally have an excuse to watch Spongebob Squarepants. That show looks fun!
My governor’s name is Butch.
Obama to American people: “Shut up! I won, not you!”
I feel as though I have been beaten over the head with a potato. What else, Frank? Did you root for the Canadians in curling too?
I thought it would be “Paddy”.
Frank, it’s quite possibly the other half that will wash out over time. Unless your wife is Swedish, in which case, 100% of your genes will disappear.
But… I like drunken potato eating! Getting potatoes drunk is hard, though. They have hella tolerance.
Your pukage comment reminds me of a video, which I can’t embed here but can link. This here sentence is a language warning. Them Celtic musicians can cuss a bit.
Half-Irish? Which half?
Basil, the question is, which half is the funny half? Hint: when was the last time a Dutchman was funny?
In college, us wild Christians once played quarters with Hee-Haw (a grocery-store brand of Mountain Dew), and it finally ended when someone puked. I imagine copious amounts of walmart brand soda would elicit the same response.
The best cartoon my kids got me hooked on was Jimmy Neutron.
Michelle Obama is your governor?
I love drunken potato eating, and I’m German-Swiss. I just prefer to convert the potatoes into vodka before consuming them.
So I no longer drink. WTF am I suppose to do on this stupid holiday? I think it was invented by the Jooooooooooooos anyway!
While everyone’s ethnic ancestry is being revealed, my Irish / Scottish / English / Welsh half is quite pleased.
Spongebob? As a father and grandfather alli have to say is Wonderpets, Wonderpets. DearLlord of all that is holy and good, no more Wonderpets.
Your little baby jumping around is far more exciting than the last few seasons of 24.
Obama.. “We must help the victims of the Hawaiian earthquake while Biden mourns the living. So shut up crackers !!!”.
My dad’s grandfather took his family across the big water from the old country to civilization.
Of course in our case, the water was the Ohio River and civilization was Cincinnati. 1/2 German Mennonite, 1/2 Hillbilly Mix. Yeehaw
congrats! and all the best wishes on the pregnancy. it is a heck of a ride, worth every second.
You will find, to your delight, that many cartoons have sophisticated writing throughout. Parents want to laugh too. Phineas and Ferb on Disney always has me howling with my kids looking at me with that “what was funny?” look.
Spongebob. I saw his movie. Then, again, I saw Carrot Top in Las Vegas.
Oh, I remember what I wanted to say: when mine were little, the Smurfs were the thing. I hated those evil blue b*****ds! I was so glad when they went away. I’m just sorry James Cameron found them and put then in his movie.
May I suggest ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, and ‘Johnny Quest’, available on DVD.
If your kid is a boy, and his head looks football-shaped, then I suggest naming him Stewie. And you’d have legitimate reason to watch ‘Family Guy’ .
My governor’s name is Lynch. I was surprised at the number of black people that voted for him.
I didn’t mind that you were drunk at Bible study.
Soon you will learn why so many hate the other Barney. Not the gay socialist who’s mouth doesn’t work properly, but the giant purple puppet who’s mouth also doesn’t work properly. You will learn to hate every one of the ugly, unskilled children that dance, sing and act poorly on the show. You will learn to hate the way they hijack traditional children’s songs, rearranging the lyrics to fit the word “Barney” into them. You will learn to hate the liberal BS like promoting eating “healthy snacks and water” instead of cookies and juice or milk or things kids actually like to eat. And, you will learn to hate Baby Bop and her brother (and, yes I’m serious his name is really…) BJ. Welcome to parenthood.
Frank… was that you, third from the left in RIVER DANCE ?
you know puffy sleeves, open collar, tites, little black boots…?
Zoraster, there’s a name.
Basil …Carrot Top….?
…Long time ago I dated a “full” Irishman…for your sake, I hope it’s the top half.
Put me down for English/Irish/German. And, yes, I’m rarely at peace with myself.
BTW, as someone who is quarter Irish, lemme warn you: drunken patato eating may be a dominant genetic trait.
