There's got to be. I mean Hell, the Saxon's invaded Britain at one point.....Weren't Saxon's of Viking descent?

Re: bigger_boss February 16 2004, 21:03:27 UTC

Yes the Norwegian Vikings was in Ireland steeling woman they took to Iceland as wifes so the nice mix of Irish and Norwegian is Icelandic,and we all have one special gene that no other europeans have..hehhehe..pluss the saxos too,and we all know how to make mjeed and use the malt for other purpose than medication,so the links are strong,it is a long and very intresting history with the Irish ,Scott, Icelandic,Faroe,Hibreed island and Norway...we are like a big family,Like the Norse and Celtic gods are the same,most of them have the same names and the rune writing(futark) is simular too..so we go way back.

There's actually an Irish pro basketball team that my cousin almost played for, they take americans if they have a birth certificate of a father, grandfather, or great grandfather born in Ireland.

Well damn. I'm sure in Ireland they don't have 8 foot basketball players though. I think the person who wrote this is an Irish-American.

Toots and M. need to play NYC. I actually bought green laces today 'cause I'm festive like that. I agree with you. I too am American first but you gotta be proud of that Irish heritage.

Re: yankeeskingirl February 16 2004, 22:53:47 UTC

Hell yes there isn't another way to be. I need some green laces too. But although we're American's there ain't no shame in remembering your roots..

Re: birdsgotriddim February 17 2004, 14:35:44 UTC

<3 Ireland.

And yes, you ARE going to that show. If I can get tix in advance you want me to pick you up one?

Re: yankeeskingirl February 17 2004, 21:00:43 UTC

Yes! pick up at least two because my best friend is going to that show with me. She has already sold her unborn children because she loves Toots. How much is it, do you know?
