Do they have an exhibit that explains the importance of hearts, stars, horse shoes, clovers, blue moons, pots of gold, rainbows, and red balloons?

Guy #1: Umm, there will at some point be leprechauns, in your leprechaun Museum? Correct?

Guy #2: I really hate that man.

oompa loompas up in arms, feeling snubbed

Who would stoop low enough to actually go there?

What else is a third-world country with nothing to show for itself going to put in a museum? Potatoes? Booze? Car bombs?

Irrelevant, you'll never catch them.

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Loved that movie.

"It is a derogatory symbol from an Irish perspective,"

Say what?

Is there a wax statue of the leprechaun from "Leprechaun"?

I had an Irish GF. She was magically delicious.

There was this girl I knew. Had a massive crush on her. She was beautiful; like a classic 50's pinup beauty. We used to hang out & whatnot, and try as I might, she wouldn't 'give it up' for me. until one day we were so bored, we actually watched Darby O'Gill & The Little People. When we needed a distraction from that terrible movie, we started gettin' it on.

Thank you, Darby O'Gill for the hotness.

/cool story, laddy

Why didn't they put the museum in Mobile AL?

Who all seen the leprechaun museum say yeah!

RadiomanATL: Why didn't they put the museum in Mobile AL?

Because all da gold might end up on some dude's teeth.

I'd rather see the Guinness Museum

Been there, done that. Yes, got the t-shirt. It became my drinking shirt, and lasted a good many years.

Would you like your heritage to be represented by a cackling little annoyance that jumps up and down on the sidelines of a Notre Dame game? It's as bad as the old Chief Illiniwek dance that Illinois used to put on (and I don't know why the NCAA hasn't cracked down on it yet).

I'LL BE WAITING

Guinness museum is a cash sink. Go down to Cork and take the Beamish tour. 11:30am on Thursdays. It's a better stout anyway.

I'm irish, so I'm getting a kick etc. etc.

The Guinness museum is a load of bollix.

Where the hell is this leprechaun museum? I have heard nothing about it

he tells me to burn things

RadiomanATL: Why didn't they put the museum in Mobile AL?

To me, it look like a leprechaun, to me.

You are absolutely correct. However, all the other Guinn-ites won't allow themselves to believe it.

As for the rest of this thread (and everything else):

All the Darby O'Gill books are available Link (new window)

I guess there are enough non-Irish around all the time to fleece...

I'm Irish and as soon as I find out where this place is I'll be heading there. I'll be going via the head shop obviously.

Sure am glad that doesn't apply to me! I'm 1/8th Irish on my dad's side!

does that include UK residents?

This. I really only clicked on the link for Guiness.

You joke but I bet you've used that before

actually I don't drink much, don't go to bars, and usually find that observing Lent interferes with merry-making on st. patrick's day, because I'm a boring person.

And to tell you the truth I don't actually know if it's 1/8th or 1/4th: I've got an irish name but I don't know if Grandpa was all irish or if he was half german.

I do find it funny, though, that my kids will also have an irish surname when they're going to be so thoroughly polish/german
