T-Minus 1 Day to the Green Day

Thought I'd share a few things I found on this crazy thing called the "InterNet".
10 great pubs is a great listing of some of the best Irish Pubs to visit in the states. I have been to Fado's many times in Buckhead (ATL) and it is by far my favorite irish pub. They pre-fab these things all over the US bringing back pubs piece by piece bought on the green isle. This particular one has a cobblestone floor and if you can't understand the micks behind the bar just point and they'll fill you up. My dream is to make it to McMullan's Irish Pub, it too is an actual pub bought and moved from Ireland. I have the t-shirt that says "Some Things Taste Better in the Dark".

Alba Gu Bra

Lest we not forget our Scottish brethren. If you're down for some history of Scotland, then check it out. Everything from the Battle of Falkirk to finding your favorite tartan and family history. While you're there you'll need to know how to speak the lingo. Have some cockieleekie and haggis for me;) Need to curse at someone or chat some slang?

Get Your Own!!

Here's my family tartan and the pattern worn by my Scottish Clan. Not the boldest of patterns, but stylish nonetheless, besides the ladies just want to know what's under the kilt of a man "man enough" to wear one not how pretty it is!

Kalends Martiae

Kalends of Martiae marks the end of the "running the dogs" and only 16 days away from St. Patrick's Day. I was happy to do the taster and look forward to any new beers offered by FDB and thank them for sending me a free t-shirt when their mixed litter came up short. They seem to be a decent bunch of guys. Brew On you mutts of beer.
