12 Funny Guinness-fueled Drunk Videos
It is pretty much a given that any trip to Ireland will include the consumption of beer. Lots of beer. And these days, because so many people having little digital cameras and video cameras with them, we not only get to hear about tales of Guinness-fueled drunken debauchery, we get to see them, too. Lucky, lucky us.
Here are just a few of the gems I found. (Warning, some of these are probably NSFW. Which is, of course, why we find them so interesting, right?)
Drunk people + a fire extinguisher = lots of mad giggling.
Supermarkets can be funny when you’re drunk!

Avast, ye scurvy dogs!
Yarrr! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Tis due to Dave Barry (sure I usedta be readin’ him when I was moored up stateside) that this day be brought to me attention.
This sort of absurdity rarely penetrates here in Ireland. Irish culture is already full to the brim with the absurd - making it difficult for new absurdities to find a home here. I mentioned TLAPD in the blog …

Face in a pint Friday
Ah, pint head art. It’s a fleeting, beautiful thing. I’ve decided this field of artistic work has been too long neglected and am publishing a series of pint head art here on irelandlogue.
Got a good pint face? Send it in to me and - if it’s good enough (or not!) - I’ll publish it here.

Best Irish Jokes of the year
Starting in January, I began posting an Irish Joke of the day every Monday. The majority of them were paraphrased from jokes I’d heard around Athlone, a few I even made up myself.
In any case, I thought it might be interesting to have a look and see which were the favourites.
According to my web statistics, the most popular Irish joke posted on Irelandlogue.com is . . .

Irish Joke of the day - Lucky pig
One day an American tourist walked into an Irish pub somewhere in County Roscommon. Strangely enough, under the American’s arm was a healthy, Irish pig.
“If you don’t mind me askin,” says the bartender, “Where’d you get that animal from?”
“I won him in a raffle,” says the pig.

Irish Joke of the day - A bull of a problem
Three Irish bulls were chatting with each other about rumours they had heard about their farmer bringing a new bull to the farm.
The eldest of the three had been on the farm for 10 years. Pawing the ground and snorting, he said,
“I’ve been here the longest and I have a hundred cows in my pasture. If this new fella thinks he’s gettin’ one a dem, he’s another thing comin!”
The second bull had been on the farm five years. He tossed his head angrily, saying,
“Well, I’ve fifty cows in my pasture and there’s not a one I’ll be giving to some blow-in!”
The third bull was the youngest of the three and had only been on the farm a year. Even so, he had ten cows in his pasture and didn’t feel inclined to give any of them up.
“Just let him try it!” he said, snorting and pawing the ground mightily.
Just then a huge truck backed into the yard and its back gate practically exploded open as the biggest, meanest, scariest black bull imaginable strode menacingly out, tossing its mighty head.

United Ireland by 2027? What are the odds?
Ten to one by the year 2027, according to Paddy Power.
Yes, one of the many cultural twists that still befuddles me is the legality and casual practice of gambling in Ireland. There are gambling shops everywhere in this country and, apparently, one can simply walk into one of these places and bet on . . . well, anything.
Case in point is latest bet on offer: a United Ireland. Think about it - people have fought, died and argued for the cause . . . why not try betting?
