Oh man, morning, board.
My FAC believed they (and the Scots, who came from Ireland - that part at least is true) were the lost tribe of Dan. On account of all the places with d_n in the name (Donegal, Dunedin etc). The French were Reuben, while England and America were Joseph's sons; so France is perennially pissed off with the Anglo nations, as they were the firstborn, dammit, but the Anglo-Americans got all the historical props.
One of the tribes was Belgium too. I don't remember which, which is just like Belgium.
Thanks for reminding me Nationalism has further, deeper roots.
Eh, why not. I'm just full of love right now.
Mmm, dirty.
Look -- all these old friends showing up!
I'll sit in the love corner.
and e_o , you capped off my day -- dispatch stories of the crazies that cal are 1) funny and 2) remind that there are many layers of crazy I can't touch.
Mmm, dirty.
golly, I meant it in a loving way. Eh. It's bitches.
BTW, at the end of the day, I got the dirty version of DH. Duh! Wow, I must have had a lot on my mind.
OK, it's 12:30 my time. I'm going to make an attempt to sleep, 3-4 hours earlier than I usually do.
Best of luck to you and Fluffy!
As a half-Irish Bible semi-believer, I'd LOVE to know the verse that relates this little tidbit.
Discerning Anglo-Irish liberal Christians want to know, too, so we do. (Mainly so I can point and mock, of course.)

The British did nationalism first and we do it best.
When?
Since about King Ethelred... (But it was a joke.)
Sorry, my history studies affects me. I need to know details about anything!
A dear man I know is gonna have a big surgery today in LA, followed by a painful recovery, another surgery and then some more recovery.
Any ~ma in his direction would be very appreciated.

Heh. I'm like that with sociology and social policy.
"People say the law might be changing regarding [insert national policy here]."
"Who says? Where? Which newspaper did you read this in? Is there a bill proposed? When will it go to Parliament? What was the report's initial response to these proposals? What do you think? You know you're wrong, yes?"
By which point I'm usually talking to myself.
Health~ma and easy-as-possiblesurgery~ma for your friend, Shir.
