Lolz...

I puked on the way home, and called out sick the next day. I actually passed out at the bar, which was tremendously embarrasing because I went there all the time after work, and the staff were all irish folks that lived in Sunnyside and we drank together when they weren't working. Part of the reason I drank as many that night was because the bartender gave me a couple on the house.

"Focking Scot...cannah hold yer Guinness? Get the fock off me bar...Ay-vonne, get him a gloss a-water and heave his arse oot."

I never lived it down.

"SEX focking pints?!? Wha, is yer belly made-a butter?"

Except "butter" in Scottish is "buh-uh."

Slip you a few freebies, get a huge tip, your dead meat. Gotta love Irish pubs

Didnt realize Scots were such lightweights

Yeah these guys and girls were classic. I loved hanging with them. And I always tipped them well.

They never did that to me again afterwards, they just gave me shit for being such a lt-wt. It was like reverse-Norm walking into Cheers.

Got done in by a few Irish pubs myself. Got a little bit of Iroquois in me (from back in the early 1800s). You know what they say about Indians & 'fire water'... Well its all true - even if its far removed

Who is the Face of Baseball? We surveyed you -- the fans - ESPN

What is this sport coming too. A-Rod is the "Face of Baseball" in recent survey of 1,000 people.

That must be my problem as well...1/16 Cherokee.

Yep Hu...doomed by ancestry

 

[HammerDown]

Okay, I have a question maybe you guys can answer. Why is it everyone claims to be 1/16th Indian?

When I went to school, to a kid, not one single kid didn't claim to be 1/16th Indian.

There were like a total of 30,000 Cherokee Indians, it was a social death sentence to cohabitate with them and they've been extinct since the late 1800's but everyone claims to be part Cherokee?

How is that?

Free money for college and being a minority so you can get into a better school

I'm going by what my grandmother told me: Her mother was Cherokee. I've always assumed that she was full, and they said she was, so...who knows?

Wait, would that make me 1/16, or 1/32? Grandma would have been half...mom would have been 1/8...that makes me 1/16, right?

My dad's family has been in this country since the 1780's, so we've got a little bit of everything in our blood.

Wow going by that Im maybe only 1/64th

My dads family is 3rd generation Mayflower (yeh I know...big whooop LOL)

 

[HammerDown]

In school every kid you talked to said the same thing.

"I'm part Irish and part Cherokee or Apache."

Of course, no one ever claimed to be part Blackfoot or Chippewa. It was always the cool tribes like the Cherokee or Apache.

I'd ask stuff like "So your Irish Great Grandfathers all went to a reservation and married Indian women when interracial marriage was actually illegal?"

Never got an answer.

Yeah, my Mother's side goes back to the Mayflower but my Dad's side is German immigrants from the late 1700's. That explains my razor-sharp intelligence, dashing good looks and why the girls in school used to call me "El Diablo" after we messed around.

i also have indian in my blood somehow, according to my grandmother

it's simple - white men with ugly wives started sleeping with the enemy. who couldn't resist a hot piece of native american ass?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

The 2010 census says there are over 300,000 Cherokee still in the US.

Not sure it was illegal for my great-grandfather to marry an Injun, but he sure as shit did.
