Thanks for the movie suggestions! I have not seen Boondock Saints so I'll put that one in the netflix queue. I have not seen the Commitments for awhile, laughed my head off..I'd forgotten all the parts where Jimmy is interviewing himself!

Tonight, we're off to the local pub to celebrate with the specialty: corned beef tacos. I know it sounds gross, but they are really good: shredded corned beef with cabbage and a white sauce(similar to fish tacos) in tortillas. Yum!

FYI though Kansas City might make the top 10 it is no where near the second largest in the US.

Really?

And who is # 2? Chicago, not any more! They were.

NY is # 1 of course.

Oh, we are talking about Parades, not dumping dye in rivers!

New York is number one in the world.

Savannah Georgia or Holyoake Mass. depending on who's counting. Looks like Mass to me based on the numbers they provided.

As I said, KC MIGHT be in the top ten, it's certainly in the top twenty, but don't make silly claims.

I'm a black velvet fan, myself - or as I usually order it, Guinness and cider (or else risk being brought the Canadian whiskey instead).

Ohhh, that sounds sinful. Recipe, anyone?

When I was growing up, my parents forced me to endure the following "traditions": corned beef and cabbage for dinner, followed by Irish coffee and a screening of The Quiet Man. The only thing good about this was the Irish coffee. Corned beef and cabbage is just straight-up nasty, and The Quiet Man deeply offends me as a feminist - I don't care if it starred John Wayne.

I tossed that "tradition" straight out the window as soon as I left home. This evening, DH (who has zero Irish ancestry) and I got take-out sushi, had a bit of sake (Guinness just doesn't go with raw fish), and watched the pilot episode of Babylon 5.
