Everyone has an Irish (Welsh) Grandmother (Great Grandmother) and a Native American (Italian) Grandfather (Great Grandfather)
It's so much more interesting you see...
than...
"My parents were born here, so were my grandparents..after that we don't really know. Maybe England."

Hey!Who's that tripping over my bridge?

It's a song by Dennis Leary called Traditional Irish Folk Song. It's off his No Cure for Cancer LP. Originally Posted by ruserious

I love people who desperately claim the reflected cultural glory of being something like 1/64th of a particular nationality.
The other 63/64th's were presumably too mundane to grasp at glory....

Actually, I think I might be 1.27.5th Irish, coz I'm sure I remember my dad telling me he once talked to an Oirish lady in a bar when he was a lad, and he also bumped into an Irish guy one time at work.
Does that mean I can pretend to be Irish and join in my people's celebrations? Gosh, I do hope so. Where's all my "I'm Oirish green clothes, now...?"
I can do a good Oirish accent if that helps...
