Irish Lightness
Thats when Germans (and others) laugh about the Irish:

These cycling newsgroups seem to replete with heavy types ... you know, like Germans and Scandinavians who have ever proven themselves to be dour and dead serious. They know not the delights of Irish lightness. We of Irish ancestry are given to spoofing and kidding in the extreme. Frankly we do not understand seriousness at all. JimmyMac is only half Irish and so not up to my high standard. Tom Sherman is a dour Danish gentleman and his attempt at humor sadly falls flat over and over. Jeff Grippe is Jewish and they are the most confoundedly serious race of all. Hey, you either got the genes for lightness or you don't! I am here as a gadfly. It will ever be my delight to tweak you and to annoy you to the best of my ability. It is what life is all about if you ask me. If you come unto these newsgroups pontificating and pretending to be serious, I will be here for you like an elf and a leprechaun. If you want to be serious, get thee to a graveyard. I am here for life and will have none of your sepulcher. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

If you want to trade posts with Ed The Troll, go ahead. But would you kindly
not repost his idiocy here where unsuspecting people can stumble on to it? I have asked nicely and on behalf of myself and others, would like to tell you that you are risking being kill-filed yourself for reposting that drivel. Pat in TX |

Well, as it happens, I agree with you. No one of any ethnic origin should have any thoughts whatsoever about the location their grandparents or parents came from! The Mexican-Americans should immediately stop thinking of their ancestors' homeland because, well, it just isn't "meaningful", now, is it? Barack Obama should immediately give up any idea of appreciating Kenya, Japanese_Americans should disdain any favorable thoughts of Japan, and Henry Kissinger should get rid of that ridiculous accent because his heritage just isn't "meaningful." And those Indian-British people should immediately stop having an interest in India because it just isn't "Meaningful." I am so glad you cleared this up for everybody. Only people whose ancestors still live in the location where their descendants live should have any ethnic identity, pride, nostalgia, whatever you want to call it. In fact, let's just scrub the word "heritage" right from the dictionary! That way, your Irish friends can laugh at that as well. Pat in TX |
