Blue Jays can win the World Series tomorrow.

And if they don't, they can try again on Saturday.

I was reading tickets to the game are upwards of $2000 each

Scalpers deserve to go to the eighth circle of hell. That's where liars are punished in Dante's Inferno.

They deserve to have the Barney the Dinosaur theme play on a loop sung by Jar Jar Binks and SpongeBob.

Reincarnation of a Spanish Inquisitor, are you?

 

[Link the Writer]

That explains so much, honestly…

 

[CatrionaGrace]

You're scarin' me now, friend.

 

[Link the Writer]

I’m kidding you.

Never the red and green starboard/port lights. Not sure if hang gliders have them,

Nope. But we did fly with strobe light flashy-things on our kingposts when we were flying at sunset, to make sure that aircraft (including each other) saw us. That's the only illumination I remember us using.

The delightful young man burst out laughing and said, "Ah, what does it matter? They're all Celts."

The Irish can be surprisingly tolerant. When I told an Irishman that I was about 1/8 Irish, he said, "Ah! From the neck up!"

Leonard Wibberley, in his book The Trouble With the Irish,* he said that in England, a person move to a town and live their all his life and still be regarded as a stranger, wheras a Hottentot can move to Dublin and be considered Irish after a week and a half.

*In his view, the trouble with the Irish was the English.

BTW, The Trouble With the Irish is almost unobtainable in hard copy, but dirt-cheap as a Kindle download. I highly recommend it as an overview of Irish history.

Damn. Now I'm disappointed.

Half my wife's family is Irish, the rest Scottish. There's dozens of them that have come down under to stay with us for a holiday. They're nice and talk funny and call me 'wolf creek' behind my back.

Suspended from a writing forum held in person for two months. It seems I am obstreperous and belligerent. Well, I am Bipolar II. So far that cuts no ice.

I just went to Amazon and was unable to get it in Kindle (I am fascinated by Celtic history). maybe it is not available in Canada

I googled pdf of the trouble with the irish and can down it at oceanofpdf for price of a coffee contribution. I can't vouch for the site and figure there may be others. Many books out of copyright can be sourced through pdf searches.

I have an old college book called “Understanding the Troubles”.

Proving once again that Canadians don't want trouble with anyone, even in literature?

 

[Louanne Learning]

they say Canadians are very nice people, unless crossed....

 

[Set2Stun]

Sounds about right !

We'll still shake hands at the end of a playoff series, though. No matter what took place within those games.

Maybe Link is the reincarnation of Tomás de Torquemada. You can't Torquemada anything!
