If you go to the local Irish pub for lunch today, do not let your friends order the burger, lest you get scowled at by Megan [or Maureen or Kerry, etc.] the waitress for the remainder of your meal.

Are you kidding me? This is the best night of the year to hit the steak joints that are usually crowded. This Irishman will be having fat tenderloin this evening at a better table than usual, and if Kerry, Mary-Katherine or Patricia Marie the waitress doesn't like it, she knows where she can put her displeasure.

I didn't watch the Bachelor, but he asked a woman what her favorite chain restaurant is, he shouldn't be surprised when he gets an unpalatable answer. What's the "right" answer to that question? Applebee's? The Sizzler? Denny's?

A washington post writer tried several of them. Article Conclusion: Olive Garden--really bad; Don Pablo's--acceptable; a couple of others in between.

Did he ask "chain" restaurant? Because that has to be a trick question. The only way it could be reasonable is because you're from different towns, so asking "what's your favorite restaurant" is likely to elicit an answer that has no meaning. Of course, if she were classy she would have said Morton's.

Aha. Many people tell me that I "look Irish". Now I finally know what they are implying.

FWIW, having sex with animals is not per se illegal in the State of Texas. Be careful about having sex with a human of your same sex though. Apparently we are very progressive about identifying sexual orientation in some areas and not quite as much so in others. It's the whole morals thing. It's unclear where we stand on having sex with an animal of your same sex.

[edited because I have no idea what javing sex is. It may or may not be illegal in the state of Texas--RT]

You may be right as a general matter, but if one of the Corrs were serving me

I'd damn well sure eat as much fish as she wanted me to.

Reading comprehension is a lost art. Read my post again. She asked HIM what his favorite chain restaurant was.

This is just a Jedi mind-trick to get me to read your post again.

they pair him up with a woman whose favorite dining experience is The Olive Garden

Now that's not what she said either (unless this is a further mind-trick because you left that part out of your post.)

Why not? So long as your pals aren't mixing meat with dairy...

If there's a Jesus out there who died on a cross 2000 years or so ago this day for my sins, (a) he really shouldn't have bothered - I'm certainly not worth it (I've no intention of stopping lusting after women, masturbating, drinking, swearing, picking my nose in the car or covetting just about everything) and (b) I imagine he's got bigger things on his mind than whether I'm eating my this afternoon.

S(I can at least understand the whole primitive health concerns behind the silly kosher laws, but the no meat on Friday gig is just plain asinine - If I play that gig, I'm as crazy as those radical Islamist screwheads)D

Actually, I'd prefer to eat something else.

I thought they lapsed the ban on meat on Fridays (I picked this up from watching Father Ted). Or maybe it's just in effect on Good Friday (what's so good about it?)

Since I'm half Irish, I'm only partially offended.

Didn't it start as a marketing ploy to sell more fish? (That is, improve demand for the burgeoning 16th century fishing industry in Ireland)

Every friday was reduced to fridays during lent. If you eat fish only one friday, it's going to be Good Friday.

Depending on whom you ask, you either (1) refrain from Meat or (2) fast entirely on both Good Friday and Ash Wednesday.

The every Friday thing went out, I believe, with Vatican II, to the dismay of fishmongers everywhere.

What's "good" about it is that it allows Atkins and Zone people to go out and eat a pizza.
