My Irish ancestry

[Beanz]

Thats something I've noticed out on site,what the Irish and Australians have in common is they dont get all uptight if you joke about them or their countrymen and usually join in the laughter knowing its all in fun and were al a pack of mongrels anyway .

Most of us here in the States are mongrels for sure, ye old melting pot. It's fun to think that I have Irish ancesters, but my "ethnicity" is so mixed, it's hard to get real serious about being "Irish". I do believe however, that if I ever visited Ireland, i'd fit right in and have a blast there.

As for Irish jokes, you should hear some of the flack I take for being from Texas.

It's funny because Texas has a great tradition of thinking originally and has great international conventions in Film etc that testify to this. The drummer in my old band went go Texas to jam and meet up with a couple of guys who pretty much wrote the book on writing music for computer games and electronic media. He was blown away by how broad the music scene there was and loved the place, couldn't recommend it enough.
