Generally, I’m a fan of Pal2Pal, so I was dismayed to see that Palatine Pal posted this representation of a “Leprechaun.”

It’s ludicrous that in this day and age a person of Irish ancestry should have to suffer such a patently offensive, cartoonish and inaccurate representation of Leprechauns. I mean, have we learned nothing?
I’m outraged. I’ll be guzzling six pints in protest.
If you think that’s bad, well, you’d better not look at this.
And that’s sure going to work up a thirst.
She’s lucky I’m shitfaced, or I’d be giving her what for.
That reminds me that I have a bottle of Black Bush that’s getting lonely.
Yeah, yeah, it’s Protestant whiskey.
Deal.
That reminds me of something Bill Clinton’s probably had more of than Obama.
eh, it could be worse
My German-Irish heritage is…confused. It doesn’t know whether to be offended, start a fight, or brew and then drink ginormous amounts of beer.
The pacifist in me has decided on the latter.
Bottoms up.
When an Irishman wants to fight, he assaults you in a pub. When a German wants to fight, he invades your country. I can see how that would be confusing.
As a 1st generation Irishman, I demand an apology or a dram of whiskey!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Leprechauns? Amateurs. The ones to fear are their American (largely Joooooish) cousins. You know who I mean.
Neo-chauns.
Bwahahaha, McGehee!
Dan, I’ve got Irish, German and French. Whenever I feel like starting a fight, I just end up surrendering to myself.
I cannot believe that they still allow Leprechauns to SMOKE!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT?
I think those little guys are merely compensating for something.
The ones to fear are their American (largely Joooooish) cousins. You know who I mean.
Neo-chauns.
Until they fall from grace, and become leper-cons again.
I’ve got the same mix, McGehee, but with some English and Scottish thrown in, so a part of me also wants to make trouble at or outside of soccer matches.
McGehee owns the thread! That should be featured here.
Dan:

Stop screwing with me! I just might decide to take it out on Poland, or was that Wales?
Oh dear, my deepest apologies for those who are offended. I swear, I was only looking for a graphic that looked bouncy and maybe alittle tipsy. Unlike others who shall remain nameless, I take full credit and responsibility for my lapse of the good judgment of a proud Scots-Irishwoman. I considered redressing the offending ‘L’ in orange, so give me a small break. I shall save this post forever as a reminder of this lapse, but mostly because Dan Collins said he is a fan. A toast to everyone and a round for the house.

Ha.
There’s a new German-Chinese restaurant in Philly.
I ate there, and an hour later I wanted to invade Poland.
Aw, Squiggs, you were one of the first people I read on teh intartubes.
I know that guy.
Hey. The only people one is still allowed to insult due to ethnicity are: 1) those of Scottish heritage; 2) those of Irish heritage; 3) Americans from the Southeast; 4) white-bread Anglo-Saxon mongrels (like me).
Yo, LMA, how’s about me?
Midwestern, white, Catholic male?
I gots to have me some props.
– Russian and Irish, Irish on My red-headed mothers side. When I get wasted, all I want to do is toast the workers revolution, and pound My shoe on the bar top.
– Oh….and I have an obsessive revultion for snakes……
I’m outraged!
BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT EIRE!
My twin grandsons, Sean and Nik … with one 2nd generation Irish grandfather (my ex) and one 1st generation Italian grandfather (I’m a mutt-French, German, Scott, Welsh,Irish, & Norwegian — and the other grandma is Irish-Mexican) — have t-shirts that say
We’re thinking of packing them off to military school …
those of Scottish heritage – Hey, I resemble that remark.
Isn’t someone going to say DEATH TO THE INFIDELS? No? Just pass the Guiness then…
my wife is a Pole and I an Irishman… we don’t know whether to raise our kids drunk or stupid.
other than that, I am most outraged… this is not a charade!
He’s just this guy, you know?
Yeah, me too. For some reason nobody ever asks me to do the cooking.
Those evil sassenachs introduced whiskey and beer to keep Paddy down. I heard that from my pastor.
