Premium Member he is a poser Irish
He is a poser Irish I said. Freckles probably painted on. I don’t think so replied my great great aunt Dawn. I bet he’s not got a drop of Irish blood, I said. When I learned the truth my face turned red. His grandpa was a McDoogle on one side of the tree. The other grandpa was christened Sean McCaffrey. His...

Premium Member Happy St Froggys Day
Happy St. Froggy’s Day! The space traveler said. I looked up and stopped eating my Irish soda bread. It’s St. Froggy’s day, right? The alien said confidently. That’s when I knew he had not learned enough from his TV. It’s St. Paddy’s day, not St. Froggy’s day, I said, grabbing a beer. He walked over, trying to fit in, and...
