ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the 1 millionith hit.
Of course UU might get there quicker with JPUSA and all their assorted groups visiting constantly.
Congrats,
ReplyDeleteOne blog hit for every shot of booze Irishpirate has done in his life!
Way to go both of you!
Congrats I just wish I got that many hits.
ReplyDeleteChip,
ReplyDeletethat is a dirty lie. I'm more of a stout kinda guy. Guinness, Murphy's,O'Hara's(which they have at Bar on Buena, allegedly)Beamish, and some that aren't easily acquired in the United States.
That type of beer and red wine are about all that I drink in terms of alcohol. As that famed electrician and womanizer Ben Franklin said "beer is proof that God exists and that she loves us".
amen brother..amen.
ReplyDeleteAnd God Bless UU.
I want to thank UU for making me aware of issues in my neighborhood that affect me and the rest of the community. For instance, I would have never known about the town hall meeting or CAPS.
ReplyDeleteYou are making a difference. Keep fighting the good fight!

A few scenes from the Fury were filmed in Uptown.

Farrell,
ReplyDeleteTry this to find the sweet stout known as Murphy's.
I know they have it at the Irish Oak. I'm sure some other bars have it also. I seldom see it in the cans at Liquor emporiums.
If you haven't tried O'Hara's stout head on over to Bar on Buena and give it a taste. Not quite as sweet as Murphy's or as rough as Guinness.
Argg! Thank you Irish Pirate, for I been travellin long and far for me Murphy's!
