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.

Irish Joke of the day - Irish veterinarian
One day a woman who owned a pet duck awoke to find her beloved animal lying still upon the floor. Deeply concerned, she rushed him to the local veterinarian, who was known to be a grumpy and contrary man.
The vet asked her to put her duck upon the examination table and prodded the waterfowl a few times with a biro. Nothing happened. Turning to the woman, he announced,
“Madam, your duck is dead. That’s gonna be 20 euro.”
Well, she became very upset upon hearing this and cried, “Surely it can’t be true! Isn’t there something else you can try - he just can’t be dead! Can I have a second opinion?”
At that the vet gave a sharp whistle and a black labrador retriever bounded into the room.

Space Shuttle over Ireland
Did you hear the Space Shuttle is visible tonight over Ireland?
Unh-hunh - we all know what happens when you “go for one” in Ireland. I wonder how many points you get on your license for a P.S.S.U.I (Piloting a Space Shuttle while Under the Influence) offense?
See ye in the beer garden at Sean’s tonight! (or pay 95c a call to Astronomy Ireland to see where the shuttle will be)

Silk-tongued devils
I just had to post this.
You’ll recall this last Tuesday’s session in the Shack we had a very talented singer from France join in around the table. He sang a lovely, catchy little tune that seemed to exude some sort of broken-hearted, romantic vibe. We all sat entranced as the lovely French language tripped through the song, tapping our feet in happy, cathartic enjoyment and thinking what silk-tounged devils these Frenchmen were.
Truer words were never spoken! Courtesy of the Grumpy Frenchman I have just stumbled across the lyrics and translation of said song and laughed. my. ass. off.
I think you could sing anything in French and it would sound good, eh?

I will force it to be summer with the powers of my mind
Repeat after me:
It is the beginning of August. I will put on sandles. I will roll up my jeans. I will walk to the river’s edge to feed the ducks. I will enjoy watching the boats on the river Shannon. I will think about how lovely an afternoon in summer is as I dangle my feet carelessly over the river’s edge.
I will pay no attention to the fact that I am soaked to the skin because I am doing all …

Irish Joke of the day - Top 10 signs you’re being stalked by a Leprechaun
The top 10 signs you’re being stalked by a leprechaun:
10. Generic-looking green transit van with darkened windows parked across the road with “I brake for imps” bumper sticker.
9. Every time you stop on the street the pitter-pattering stops and that green fire hydrant seems to have moved a little closer.
8. All your shoes have been expertly repaired overnight.
7. Green lipstick marks on your bedroom window.
6. Card delivered with a bouquet of 4-leaf clovers.
5. You don’t recall owning an anatomically-correct lawn gnome.

Irish Joke of the day - Diplomacy
It is said that the definition of Irish diplomacy is the ability to tell a man to go to Hell in such a way that he’ll be looking forward to the trip.
