Darby O'Gill Shares A Pint with A Half-Pint
If you've suddenly run short of Irish cliches, hold on until Cokesbury brings you the St. Patricks Day Party, wherein you'll hear the old favorites trotted out: drink, potatoes, the Blarney Stone, potatoes, pigs, potatoes, snakes, St. Patrick, the Blarney Stone, potatoes and potatoes.
No leprechauns, however. Very surprising. It's like Cokesbury has a blind spot for the Little People. Gool Ol' King Brian won't like hearin' that.
And you'll learn something new, though, if you're like me. You'll learn blarney is not only a noun, it's also a verb. You'll have to decide, however, what nounish meaning of blarney to choose form as you blarney:
1) Ability to talk constantly
2) Mindless chatter
3) Persuasive flattery or kind speech.
But you'll like hearing this: After a brief hiatus, the whistle is back.
