... to those who actually are Irish, of Irish descent, or married into the fold. For the rest, who can't see beyond kitchy leprechauns and green beer -- Sod off, ya wankers. And you know where you can put 'Danny Boy.' Yes, that's right. A New York Irish pub has banned the singing of 'Danny Boy' for the month of March. Good on ya, lads. Right you are.

In merciful lieu of 'Danny Boy' I offer this standard. So raise a pint of Guiness and let the Dubliners take you home. Enjoy.
