One quarter. That quarter is really, really thirsty. Actually my British quarter is just as if not more thirsty.

O.K.
My mom's parents are off the boat Irish Hillbillies.
My biological father is from Norway, My mom divorced him when I was about 8 yrs old due to his drinking.

As I see it the only thing I got from my paternal heritage is alcoholism and a tendency for gout.
My LOVE and APPRECIATION for drink I blame on the maternal side.
People often confuse "Appreciation for drink" with "dRunk".
Show them the way, my friend.

Am I Irish? Hmmm ...

Lemme put it this way ...

About 70 minutes ago I was at a cousin's wedding, and we cleared the dance floor and formed a circle so the younger cousins could step dance.

True story.

Oh, and speaking of Budweiser, I ordered a regular Bud: got a skunked beer. So I had to switch to Bud Light.
Those were the 2 (JUST TWO?!!!!) choices of beer; Bud, and Bud Light.
No Lager (Yuengling).
Fucking Indianapolis ...

For years I thought I was part Welsh. Then I found out greatgrandmother was Irish. Imagine my confusion. And people only say the Irish are drunks because they're jealous they're so good at it.

Only second generation American checkin' in. Humble Irish roots in the Kingdom of County Kerry, Ireland on Ma's side, Robert the Bruce granddaughter marrying so we could get our stuff back, Viking mingler Scotland Highlanders on Pop's side.

So is it any wonder, me attitude? Irish Temper? Hell, that's a blessing compared to the brutal hammer that a Scottish and Viking heritage can administer! (When warranted, of course. We don't go around flaunting our temper willy nilly.) (Or get locked up. There's that.)

Who doesn't love the emerald isle? Me, I'm a spanish-frenchie catholic with no Irish roots whatsoever. But to grow up worshipping Yeats and Millington-Synge, long ago, I met an Irish professor who said It is a terrible curse to be born not Irish. Indeed it is. Godbless the Irish!

My mother's mother (Grandma Lacy, b. 1883) was the oldest of 21 children.

Grandma Lacy had 7 children of her own -- each by a different father. My mother was the youngest (born in 1918, she had 5 half-brothers and 1 half-sister) My mom's father was an Irish sailor in the British Navy, who survived WWI, but was killed during a training exercise in the early 1920s.

My father's people were mostly from Scotland -- with possibly(?) some extraneous English, Welsh and Irish in their mix.

So I'm (semi-officially) one-quarter Irish, one-quarter English and one-half Scottish.

I'm just a mutt, but one with a fine drinking pedigree.

CHEERS!

I have been drinking so much Guinness along the years and spent so much time in Irish pubs that I should make a claim for the nationality. I love Ireland and Irish people. And Irish beer. And Irish beer as well, no to mention the Irish beer that I love. To the Irish, Ireland, and their beer (mostly).

Irish women have cankles.

And I am part Irish, I think 1/8. The rest is Albanian, German, and Swiss. Thankfully, I have no Welsh, French, or Italian in me.
