johnmaloney Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 oh man, sorry i didnt see it before the edit, I suspect you probably had it right originally, let me see on that.... okay, but in the future post clarifications jacobnano - raisins will work too, so 2 correct answers for the one question Double points if you can get me to understand why everyone is big on it. Shame I kind of fell asleep on you guys with this one yesterday. Let me come up with one hard one and make it worth more. I picked up some ugly and ridiculously small orange montis yesterday, can hook you up with them on this one. Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 nah nevermind, small and crappy orange monti frag per answer, will do 3 then end the contest: correctly spell one word in gaelic - no google - wikipedia etc.. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Umm for why you were big on it, ran out of potatoes so bread was the next best thing lol? Link to comment
lasongo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 In gaelic..."Erin go bragh" Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 My family is still big on it, my grandfather makes it and everyone looks forward to it. I prefer the other side of the family's traditional foods...cannolis and such. That makes sense to me. It wasn't really a question though. In gaelic..."Erin go bragh" yeah that works. i saw that on a pin yesterday Liam Neeson, or however you spell his name, played this iconic Irish figure in a movie that somehow cast Julia Roberts as an Irish woman.

johnmaloney Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 yep, the next question is up there one post ^ Link to comment
lasongo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Guessing "Rob Roy" is wrong, hmmm Liam Neeson. Probably not "Star Wars Episode I" or "Batman Begins" then either Link to comment

teajay33 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 lol no.. i think the failure lies with julia roberts. lol. shes sucks in that movie. if that was her first movie, she might not have been in any more lol. so Micheal Collins is the 2nd most successful movie ever to be released in Ireland, know what the first is? lol think green.. no really. actually i cant find proof, so i better retract my question. i heard it was shrek though.. which i found amusing.

Urchinhead Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 - doesnt that mean they are broke? not sure, my grandfather used to say words like $*(^$&Y and (UP$#*@*$. - i have a long paper about the Troubles I did for an International Politics class. I guess the sweet deal the Irish got in the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish are supposed to have the larger voting class in the north by 2020 or something. It was partially because between the two groups the own most of the real estate they were ending up bombing so every time they lit one off they would end up damaging one of their own holdings. Furthermore it was becoming bad for the other "businesses" they were in including gambling, loan sharking, prostitution, and drugs. Yes I am serious about this. nah nevermind, small and crappy orange monti frag per answer, will do 3 then end the contest: correctly spell one word in gaelic - no google - wikipedia etc.. Tir Na nOg - Loose translation is "The land of the Fey". Want me to belt one out in Gaelic for you as well? My Gaga taught me a few soup eater: a person that dropped the "O" off their name in exchange for some British-offered soup. Names without the "O" sounded less Catholic and more Protestant.
