Go m-beirimíd go leir beo an t-am seo arís*.

Irish Gaelic's so damn cool. The above is a good traditional toast for when you're at the pub enjoying some fine Craic. It translates (loosely) as "May we all be alive when this time comes around again." And really, that's a pretty damn Irish thing to say.

Oh, my poor pub friends - they're going to get an earful of this shite next time we're out.

Sláinte, y'all.


*for those interested in learning, it's pronounced thusly: "Guh merrimeed guh lair byoh un towm shuh areesh." Hey, I never said it was a pretty language.
