Letter to Coroticus
“Before [Patrick’s] mission, Irish sexual arrangements were relatively improvisational. Trial ‘marriages’ of one year, multiple partners, and homosexual relations among warriors on campaign were all more or less the order of the day. Despite Patrick’s great success in changing the warrior mores of the Irish tribes, their sexual mores altered little.”

So happy St. Paddy’s to those who are Irish, those who celebrate St. Paddy's and those with relatively improvisational sexual arrangements!
XOXO

ReplyDeleteTop o’ the mornin’ to ya laddy! Nope I’m not Irish, either but I do like a good party. And though I’m a native Chicagoan, I’ve never been downtown for any of the parades. I’ll take a good corned beef sandwich, but not a fan of cooked cabbage, so I’ll have a side of coleslaw.
So to all the gingers and those who love ‘em Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽☘️
Hahaha so Irish!
DeleteAnd I've seen most of the parades. Did not go for the Green River this year. Too cold!
And yum corned beef sandwich.
XOXO
Yes, I read a marvelous quotation once referring to the "thin topsoil" of Irish Christianity lying over top of the Irish "bedrock" of paganism!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's priceless!
DeleteAnd totally true. Xtianity has always been 'thin topsoil'.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteFor as much as my Protestant grandfather professed to hate them, turned out we're Irish. LOL. Not really a fan of the boiled meal but, like Huntley, I'll dig into a good corned beef on rye. Top 'o the day to ye! XOXO
Hahaha
DeleteOh, that should have been a slap on the face. Well deserved.
XOXO
I do have Irish DNA running through my system, perhaps that explains why I'm so opinionated. Do you think that might be true?
ReplyDeleteYou???
DeleteOpinionated??
Who knew?
XOXO
love green as I love blue: my fav. colours. So for me all this green is a pleasure
ReplyDeleteYes, it is!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Sixpence. Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating in the best way possible.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's Mr. Shife!!!
DeleteI did have a wonderful day, and I did not have anything green.
XOXO
Was thinking about eating some green dyed food and drink but then the thought of going to the bathroom and seeing something green in the toilet. I would probably panic and call 911. Checking my DNA report I do have 8% Irish (extreme norther Ireland) so I have enough green in my blood to get through the day. Happy greeness to you.
ReplyDeleteOh no.
DeleteThat's not a good idea. Nope. And 8% Irish!!
That would be enough. Happy St Patrick's!!
XOXO
