German, Norwegian and Polish ancestry here. I find the Irish highly entertaining- at a safe distance. Those loons are unstable.

I've always found Polish people to be extremely predictable.First Shirt wrote:Coming from someone of Polish extraction, that's hilarious!!
I have several cousins (by marriage) of Polish descent. We keep them around because, at family reunions, they make the rednecks look normal.
It was apparently one of those 'meh' cuts that SWMBO's ex-step-mom (Dad's 2nd wife, wife's brother's mom... the family tree is a bit splintered on her side) tried this on. Tasted really, really good and I can't complain: it was given to us that way, and was free. With the exception of the 1st trimester (when speaking of red meat was verboten) we've been eating off the ~90lbs of moose, caribou, halibut, and rockfish we brought back from AK since last summer.Netpackrat wrote:That's a waste of good meat.g-man wrote:It's not beef, but I reckon corned moose with potatoes and cabbage fills the bill...
Pearl river(up in Rockland county) has a lot of "Irish" bars and does their parade this weekend. It's usually a damn good time and there's plenty of "tanked up trim" to be found. There's also far fewer dumb asses than at the the NYC parade.

The difference is, I can take public transportation to Manhattan. Rockland County is a longish drive..TheIrishman wrote:Ya know, if I wanted corned beef I'd go to a Jewish deli.

You COULD take public transportation to Pearl River if you were so inclined. The Pascack Valley line on NJ Transit goes there. Get to Penn Station in NYC by whatever means you choose, take train to Secaucus Junction, then transfer to Pascack Valley train.HTRN wrote:The difference is, I can take public transportation to Manhattan.

Maybe if you were Clint Eastwood and LOVED to take public transportation (as long as it was part of a movie with plenty bodyguards around).MarkD wrote:You COULD take public transportation to Pearl River if you were so inclined.

Not saying you'd WANT to, but you could.
