We all live in a "YELLOW" submarine Hey, it's not April (Easter) yet, it's still March (St. Patrick's day)!!!!!!! Wearing of the "GREEN" and Wearing of the "ORANGE"
But, but, but....the little green leprechaun folks keep a lot of gold. Isn't that kind of like yellow?
A former TB contest winner! Rio Grande North Yard, at 8:20PM on a Monday night. Severely infected with yellow stuff!!
Are there any Guinness, Middleton's or Bushmills colored train type things we can post?! (And for the record, the official country color of Ireland has historically been BLUE. But America took green and ran - they even colored our beer, which no self-respecting Irishman (or woman) would touch...so much for authenticity!) confused:cool: Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!
I will not touch green beer either. I have never been to Ireland except I have flown over it a few times. Always looked green to me. As for blue, here is a UP (normally yellow locomotives) appearing in blue. Yes, we Americans re-define many things in order to make a profit. My green T-shirt concession is doing quite well these days.
Agus Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona duit, freisin! (Probably poorly translated...) Perhaps this above explanation tells why I have always been a fan more of the color blue, than green? Boxcab E50 My maternal great-grandmother was born in County Wexford.
Very possible. But It would also be interesting to know where that nickname derived. I've never looked for origins. Any ideas? Boxcab E50
