• “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” is a pretty damn good song.
• The Proclaimers — are they Irish? Or are they Scottish? I can never remember.
• The Cranberries, now there’s a band I’m pretty sure is Irish.
• Are cranberries Irish, though?
• Because potatoes certainly aren’t Irish.
• What did the Irish eat before potatoes?
• Cabbage?
• What did people drink before potatoes?
• I mean in terms of hard liquor, none of this “wine” and “beer” stuff.
• Though mead is pretty awesome stuff.
• Shit, that reminds me, I was going to start homebrewing.
• Three months since I moved in here, and three months I’ve been meaning to get a homebrew kit.
• There’s a perfect place for storing a carboy or two, though it might actually be the polar opposite of the perfect place for storing such.
• But I’d also need to get a bigger pot for boiling stuff in, since our current pots simply wouldn’t cut it.
• Like when I made that bean soup and I had to leave out a quarter of the water the recipe called for, since it just didn’t fit in the pot.
• Of course, I’d have probably omitted that water anyway. I like soup I can eat with a fork.

  The Pretenders are Scottish and the Cranberries are Irish. This was a point much emphasized on my erstwhile radio show.
