Most of the Irishmen/women I grew up with were emigrants to the US who were even more resentful & anti-British than regular Irish,

And that is fine and I do as well, I was just correcting you. But I am letting you know that there plenty of people who are speaking up against how barbaric Ireland is for abortion rights, people on this site act like no-one is doing anything and it is not that simple especially when you have Religious Americans being…

My parents have a very weird rule about eating fries with a fork if they’re very thin fries. Standard-thickness fries can be eaten with fingers. I have no idea if this is some kind of folie á deux that developed after they married or if they happened to meet and fall in love with the only other person in the world…

You remind me of something that happened to me.

Another (regretfully) true story: During my Fazoli’s days (back at the second location I worked at) we had a guy who was a regular jackass. I hated this guy, because he was a condescending prick, and always had the most pain in the ass special orders he could come up with. So, one night during the week of the Final…

Eh, there’s a difference there. I mean, Whopper is a specific trademarked menu item at a competitor. “Large” is a common adjective. I mean, if you’re being a dick and making a show about avoiding their bullshit terminology (my bias is showing, isn’t it?), then, well, yeah. You’re being a dick. (Albeit, a totally…

“how am i supposed to eat my french fries?”

He gave me the ol’ “If you’re not a liberal in your 20s you got no heart, if you’re not a conservative by your 40s you got no brains” speech more than once.

Starbucks has positively sensible naming conventions compared to a beer bar I worked in. Instead of listing the ounces, they named the four sizes pilsner, draught, tall boy, and hofbrau, which were 12, 18, 26, and 38 ounces respectively.The first of these is a type of beer, the middle two are serving styles that do…

Sorry, I’m not normally pedantic, but you attack Dunks, you attack my religion.

Look, I get it. The local place down the street with the hipster barista rockin’ the ironic Rollie Fingers mustache serves a great free-trade coffee grown in the northern slopes of Upper Southeast Colombia. But he scowls at me HARD…

DAMN IT. I want pizza now and there is none to be had.

Invent it? No, I just perfected it.

Ugh that makes me really mad. On behalf of the US: Ireland, I’m sorry our homophobic dbags donated to your “yes on dbaggish homophobia” campaign.

Remember the case for The Case of Mammy/Daddy Marriage*:

Having a lovely old sob at that. Stuff like this makes me feel like our species might just be okay in the end, you know?

Do it for Oscar Wilde, Ireland! That guy INVENTED being gay!

The we already have civil partnerships argument doesn’t fly for me, if the point is they can almost get married as it is then why not allow full equality?

Just got back from a trip to Ireland. The for and against posters are on seemingly every pole in the country. Definitely seemed to be more for posters than against though! #dotherightthingIreland

There is no reasonable argument in favour of a no vote so organisations like Mothers and Fathers Matter are trying to confuse the issue with irrelevant ramblings, I’ll be glad when the referendum is over so I don’t have to see their awful posters anymore.

it's like someone yells "fire!" inside your body...and everything starts rushing for the exits....
