(Anyone who can guess all and their significance wins Thanksgiving dinner at Alan's)
1) Strongbow cidar… named after Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Leinster, Justiciar of Ireland (1130 – 20 April 1176) was known as Strongbow and was a Cambro-Norman lord notable for his leading role in the Norman invasion of Ireland.
2) Adriana Lima who's crime is she would not date fellow Irishman, Mr. McManamon.
3) Oliver Cromwell who commited near-genocidal acts on Ireland and is hated to this day.
4) Carolans Irish Cream. Crime is the UK has a "Special" version made with wine rather than Irish Whiskey.
5) Charlie Weis – Notre Dame fighting Irish football coach. Crime is his average record at ND.
6) Thierry Henry – committed hand ball during World Cup qualifying match.
OK Pat, time to move on from Adriana. How about a nice Irish girl (half-Irish at least)? Take your pick…
Kristen Bell http://xr.com/epev
Anne Hathaway http://xr.com/ep5
Amanda Bynes http://xr.com/zo0x
Katherine Heigl would have easily made the list if she wasn't married. http://xr.com/suqc
Is this about soccer? A sure fire way to get people to leave Alan alone is to write about an irrelevant sport. Good thinking!
BTW, we're bringing the folding card table up from the basement for Thanksgiving. Alan has his black and white TV on it right now, but mom says we need it for company. Of course, Alan has to sit with the other kids at the children's table.

After seeing this pic (http://buzznewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/kristen-bell.jpg) I was all for agreeing with you on Kristen Bell… But sorry… Wiki says she is Polish and SCOTTISH descent!
Ouch! No cigar for you!
Oh, and Bynes mom is Jewish and she describes herself as Jewish.
Great for her.
But not very Irish.
And Hathaway, well, loses to the other to in the swimsuit competition. http://www.celebrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/anne-hathaway-hottest-8-16-07.jpg
Surely Ireland, or even half-Irish has better to offer.
Pat, what do you think?
John, Amanda describes herself as Irish and "other stuff", so she's Irish enough for me. Her Dad is Catholic, Mom's Jewish…I'm sure Pat can sway her.

I'm more Scottish than Irish, so I don't have a problem with whatever Kristen Bell is, but I've told Pat not to trust Wiki. For Pat's sake, I'm going with Irish and Polish, like she says…

Pat, promise me you haven't gone all hoodlum on the newsroom and started fist fights with anyone who has a slightly French name since the Hand Ball…
Yes, they got hosed, but we Irish are good at two things: suffering and being bitter about it. (Or at least I am
Regarding Rodney Dangerfie….errrr, Charlie Weis….ever wonder why ANYONE allows themselves to look like that? Has he ever refused 2nds or 3rds at any meal? Ever eaten a salad? Ever walked a mile? His appearance alone sets a horrible example for athletes and gives him sort of a "buffoon" image. It's hard to take anyone seriously who doesn't appear to have an ounce of self-control.
If he has a medical condition, that can be treated. And if he *doesn't* have a medical condition, someone ought to tell him his odds of a heart attack or stroke are increased tenfold by his obesity.
Weis had gastric bypass surgery in 2002. He went into a coma for two weeks due to complications from the surgery and nearly died. He lost a malpractice suit against the doctors. He went from 350 pounds down to 260 in the year following the surgery. He sure looks bigger than 260 now. I thought after stomach stapling, you weren't physically able to eat very much. How can he be so big?
Why is Charlie Weis still so enormous? My guess is the poor guy is still experiencing complications after he ate the stapler.
hee hee hee, yeah, stapler! Good one boss.
