The Fighting 69th





Michael O'Corcoran, a son of Cork



He enlisted as a Private in the 69th New York Militia. By 1859 he was appointed colonel of the regiment. The regiment was a state militia unit at that time composed of citizens, not soldiers, and was involved in the maintenance of public order. On October 11, 1860, Colonel Corcoran refused to march the regiment on parade for the 19-year-old Prince of Wales, who was visiting New York City at the time, protesting the British imposition of the Irish Famine. Corcoran was removed from command and a court martial was pending over that matter when the Civil Warbegan.

If it weren't for Sandblaster's ancestor's rabble rousing, I probably wouldn't be here.

...With the outbreak of war, the court martial was dropped and Corcoran was restored to his command...

"One half of my heart is Erin's, and the other half is America's. God bless America, and ever preserve her the asylum of all the oppressed of the earth, is the sincere prayer of my heart."

Properé Application of Poetry

Last night as I slept
I dreamt I met with Behan
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
When questioned on his views
On the crux of life's philosophies
He had but these few clear and simple words to say

I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

I have cursed, bled and sworn
Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
But the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back

Because I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Oh the words that he spoke
Seemed the wisest of philosophies
There's nothing ever gained
By a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar
And drink fifteen pints of beer

I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

-Shane MacGowan

 

Best St. Pattty's day I can sorta remember was my senior year of college 1985. St. Patty's was on a Friday then, too. Me and my buddies closed down the bars Thursday night grabbed some food and an hour of sleep then stood in line @ 6:00 AM for free beer for an hour, then a nickle a beer for an hour and so on... I left when the beers got up to a quarter... Too rich for my blood... The rest of the weekend? I don't recall...

 

In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to G-D.

Yes Father?!?
