On the occasion of today, St. Patrick's Day, I customarily celebrate my Official Guinness baptism as a genuine honorary Irishwoman duly performed by Father David Rice who came straight from Dublin to the university I was attending, and who annually received a case of Guinness every March 17, which he shared with the dormitory and performed the ceremony in question. On previous occasions I would post prolifically from YouTube, and so will not this year because of its recent enshittification. I will instead post from Street Directory dot com which will always have the lyrics, and, in some cases, an embedded YouTube rendition.
My first entry is of McNamara's Band, of 1914, but performed by the more recent Irishman Bing Crosby, and alas, the YouTube rendition is no longer available. It should be noted that Archie Bunker was heard singing the same tune on an All In The Family re-run this past weekend on MeTV.
@Fragglemuppet Friendica instances don't provide for alt text on an image and although I try my best to remember to hand-type it, sometimes I forget or the image is too complex for a concise description, especially the ones that are images of a wall of text. I wish I had thought of it sooner to just type Alt = wall of text. At least that will give some idea of what the thing is.
@mhoye@phillmv@dascandy I fully expect that such a village would also have a Thither Street and Yon Street, as well as a point where they intersect. Also Hither Street and Thither Street intersection.
Trump never was swayed by the stock markets. He simply was singing what Wall Street wanted to hear before election. RE: mastodon.social/users/amalia22…
He took to his Truth Social account and wrote, “The Department of Justice has just returned the boxes that Deranged Jack Smith made such a big deal about.” He also seemed to drop a hint at plans to feature them in his presidential library. “Justice finally won out. I did absolutely nothing wrong. This was merely an attack on a political opponent that, obviously, did not work well. Justice in our Country will now be restored,” Trump stated.
