Cam42 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I'm 100% Irish, so let's see how this works.... [quote name='Luigi' timestamp='1309360303' post='2260256'] WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN AN IRISH FAMILY 1) You will never play professional basketball. [color="#FF0000"]Right, but I don't want to either....I am good enough to be a professional golfer though. No lie...my handicap is a +2 right now. I've played alot in the last couple of years....[/color] 2) You swear very well. [color="#FF0000"]I can, when necessary, but I try not to....[/color] 3) At least one of your cousins is a fireman, cop, bar owner, funeral home owner or holds political office. And you have at least one aunt who's a nun or uncle who's a priest. [color="#FF0000"]My cousin John David is a fireman....I don't have an uncle or aunt, but my cousin was bishop of the Bahamas...and I have another who left the priesthood and got married.[/color] 4) You think you sing very well. [color="#FF0000"]I don't have to think about it, I actually do sing very well.[/color] 5) You have no idea how to make a long story short! [color="#FF0000"]Right.[/color] 6) There isn't a big difference between you losing your temper and killing someone. [color="#FF0000"]Wrong.[/color] 7) Many of your childhood meals were boiled. Instant potatoes were a mortal sin. [color="#FF0000"]Wrong.[/color] 8) You have never hit your head on a ceiling. [color="#FF0000"]Wrong.[/color] 9) You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling in prayer. [color="#FF0000"]Yes.[/color] 10) You're strangely poetic after a few beers. [color="#FF0000"]That is everyone, not just the Irish....the Italians are good at that too...[/color] 11) Some punches directed at you are from legacies of past generations. [color="#FF0000"]Rarely[/color] 12) Many of your sisters and/or cousins are named Mary, Catherine or Eileen ..... and there is at least one member of your family with the full name of Mary Catherine Eileen [color="#FF0000"]My sister's name is Susan, but I do have a Marianne, who is an aunt. I have a cousin who's middle name is Catharine (the proper Irish spelling).[/color] 13) Someone in your family is very generous. It is more than likely you. [color="#FF0000"]That is true, I'd give the shirt off my back, but most people here wouldn't believe that.[/color] 14) You may not know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing. [color="#FF0000"]Wrong.[/color] 15) You can't wait for the other guy to stop talking before you start talking. [color="#FF0000"]Wrong[/color]. 16) You're not nearly as funny as you think you are ... but what you lack in talent, you make up for in frequency. [color="#FF0000"]I'm friggin' hilarous...you have no idea...[/color] 17) There wasn't a huge difference between your last wake and your last keg party. [color="#FF0000"]We never drink at wakes...we do drink at receptions though...[/color] 18) You are, or know someone, named Murph. [color="#FF0000"]Several[/color] 19) If you don't know Murph, then you know Mac. If you don't know Murph or Mac, you must know Sully. [color="#FF0000"]All of the above.[/color] 20) You are genetically incapable of keeping a secret. [color="#FF0000"]I am very trustworthy.[/color] 21) You have Irish Alzheimer's... you forget everything but the grudges! [color="#FF0000"]Only when someone else holds it or perpetuates it.[/color] 22) 'Irish Stew' is a euphemism for 'boiled leftovers.' [color="#FF0000"]You have no idea what Irish Stew is.[/color] 23) Your skin's ability to tan.... not so much. [color="#FF0000"]I get quite tan in the summer.[/color] 24) Childhood remedies for the common cold often included some form of whiskey. [color="#FF0000"]Doesn't everyone's Mom have a bottle stashed someplace?[/color] 25) There's no leaving a family party without saying goodbye for at least 45 minutes. [color="#FF0000"]Duh, they're family.[/color] 26) At this very moment, you have at least two relatives who are not speaking to each other Not fighting, mind you, just not speaking to each other. [color="#FF0000"]Every family has that, even if they won't admit it....[/color] [/quote] Meh...maybe 50%...nice stereotypes though. I'll give you an A+ for that.

kujo Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 But, seriously, what are my new restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Bare in mind, I am in no way a mod so I'm just doing a bit of educated guessing here, but I think you: -Can't view profiles -Can't send PMs -If the Back Alley were still open, you'd not be able to view it -I [i]think[/i] you can't post in Vocation Station.

[/quote] Thanks. Not quite sure why the restrictions are there. I mean, what if someone had something on their profile that could "turn me around?" What if I begun to consider a vocation? And is it a fear that I would spread my heresy via private message? Just don't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I thought we gave Italians to the Spanish Inquisition? No one expects them! And honestly, dunno. I was just taking a stab at what I've heard people say before with the tag enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
