There HAS to be a way, or at least change his name to something British.

1. I'm currently working on a machine
This machine will turn its target into a pasty, flabby, white, british asshole who sounds like he's talking through a beer can. I don't have a name for it yet, or any kind of progress...but...if I can find someone to give me some money to develop it...

3. Who said he was ever in it? Evolution missed his species.
Why the creationist's want to claim "it" is beyond me.

8. is he green or orange?
Just kidding. Maybe a check of his background would be edifying - who knows what his family is like. There are scary right-wing Irish, you know.

7. I'm 1/16th, & Have Been Criticized for Saying This
Seems like it's a harmless thing to say, that there are good and bad to every group. As for the Irish, there is this GREAT, POSITIVE side of marvelous use of language. There were these wonderful (on the good side) wandering Irish poets in ancient days who spun beautiful words and sounds. But they could also spew DEADLY invective with POWERFUL effect, CURSES on people, sometimes causing others to die.

O'REILLY is one of the deadly, bitter ones, like the radio priest of the 1930s, Father COUGHLIN. For the good Irish, compare Miles O'BRIEN of CNN and Conan O'BRIEN (maybe it's just the O'BRIENs), who seem to RADIATE sunniness and good will.

12. Gosh, thanks. I keep
changing the signature around like a madwoman because this is a new computer and I don't know how anything works. For this pic, if you want to download it and more, go to:



Also, you can just type in Mexican Art and do an image search on google. There are tons of really neat ones. Heh, that gave me an idea, go to Irish Art and check it out, think I'll do that next.

And the Zapatistas are from:




And, for you really wild and crazy Irishmen & gals, there's a link through the above for Irish politicos.I must admit, I didn't completely understand the second curse, translation porfavor ?

I'm not a purebred, half Irish - half Jewish. Soy un mixto.

Take care, if you want to use the Frida, go ahead, I can find another one.See you guys later,

Margie

xxxooo

14. Oh darnit, when I gave you the http, it printed the pictures.
Okay how do we sort this out, what if I don't put http in first. Let's see - by the way, Catholic school here, those little Irish nuns told us when we were kids that you could always tell the devil by looking at people's feet, and if they were hooved, well, that was the devil. Scared the shite out of me, I still look at people's feet, and my mother, bless her, 85 years old, she says to me, "...oh, Margie, that Bush, I know he is the devil himself, I see it, look at 'im, look at his eyes..."

Anyway, try this:

You put the http;// on it:

flag.blackened.net/revolt/graphics/pdf/posters/chiapas.gif



Okay, sorry. He is the devil, you know.

15. Hola, god I keep blowing it
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 02:47 AM by Marjorie Grisak

Sorry, er... try slackers.net/~amie/mexican_art/gel_postcard9.jpg OR slackers.net/~amie/mexican_art/gel_kahlo_nk.jpg for the Frida one. Now, put the http://www. before slackers. Oh, I thought I was run out of town last night under GD, I had to have a strong belt before I hit the sack.

You must really have fire in your blood if you're half Irish and are related to Diego Garcia, truly a noble lineage, and all the makings of a good liberal.

Okay you guys, go to Church, light candles and get those Novenas going, I'm serious. I love St. Anthony, he always helps you find things, physically, mentally and spiritually. Check this out, it is a prayer to St. Anthony, written by St. Bonaventure, who was a Doctor of the Church, you know. It is from medieval times, very chanty like, almost like casting a spell ( Remember, about that time, they were dealing with the plague)

The Miraculous Responsory - or "Si Quaeris"
(This prayer of praise in honor of St. Anthony was composed by St. Bonaventure. It is sung frequently in the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua and every Tuesday throughout the world)

If then you ask for miracles,
Death, error, all calamities,
Leprosy and demons fly,

And health succeeds infirmities.
The sea obeys and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs do you restore;
While treasures lost are found again,
When young and old your aid implore.

All dangers vanish at your prayer,
And direst need does quickly flee;
Let those who know your power proclaim,
Let Paduans say: these are of thee.

To Father, Son, may glory be
And Holy Spirit, eternally.

Pray for us blessed Anthony.
Make us worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray
Lord God, may the votive commemoration of blessed Anthony, your Confessor and Doctor, be a source of joy for your people. May they always be strengthened with his spiritual assistance and deserve eternal rewards. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


*********************************************************************

Beautiful and very powerful, and Anthony works quick.

You can get a little booklet, with Litanies that are just mind blowing from:

Companions of St. Anthony

Ellicott City, MD 21042-1419

Goodnight everyone, sleep well,

Margie








and where would we be without J. Joyce?
