Well, all these questions are essentially put to rest by Twenty Major today. Having accepted the wisdom of his criteria for an 'Irish blog', I do have one small, niggling question: do you have to fulfill all seven or will one do? I think I've got 1 or 2 covered (got all U2's albums and I do prefer Guinness to "insipid European or American" lagers).
I'm sure posting on baseball (which, in case you're not aware, opens on April 3 - YEE HAW) disqualifies the Irish Eagle as an Irish blog. To be sure, to be sure.
UPDATE: Twenty Major has indicated that a blog must meet three of the criteria to qualify as Irish. In order to make the cut, I've decided to attempt to meet number 2 in the list:
The blog can be considered Irish if it's immeasurably improved by reading aloud in the voice of Tom Cruise trying to do an Irish accent in Far and Away.I think I can manage that. I mean, Tom was born in Syracuse, which is only a short distance from my hometown. I should be able to match his voice here, right?
