Today's tweets, under the cut...

• 17:13 @BarMas Hey, thanks for the link to the No Corned Beef article. :) #
• 17:59 OK, here's the yearly rant: Why Almost No One In Ireland Eats Corned Beef & Cabbage For #Saint #Patrick 's Day: bit.ly/NoCornedBeef #
• 18:14 @cleolinda Yeah, that gave me the grins too. :) #
• 18:15 @7nina ...Having a brain failure. Have I seen the interview copy yet? (Forgive me, it's being one of those days.) #
• 18:16 @gsbrickner (heh) No sign of that. Not sure the Liffey needs any help turning green, anyway. :) #
• 19:05 @kc0gag Oh, they celebrate it, all right. But there is no special food. (Also, who is St. Pattie?) ;) #
• 19:09 @sciamannata Re the males: no, they wouldn't kill them: they'd make bullocks of them (a bullock having no bollocks, if you follow me). #
• 19:11 @sciamannata The Irish still have a *really* strong aversion to killing beef young. Veal's almost unknown here. #
• 19:14 @sciamannata Re "vitellone": closest translation here is "baby beef", I think. There's some market for that. #
• 19:21 @sciamannata Yep. (& unlike many other kinds of history, afterwards we get to eat it.) Tho in this case, you wouldn't. I'll have yours. :) #
• 19:50 @tsukara Oh, never mind that. Try the Baileys cheesecake instead. This...stuff...is...DEADLY good. :) bit.ly/9LEJYz #
• 20:19 @DavidRozansky This looks like another version of the unsubstantiated Pepsi story... bit.ly/cLyQA9 #
• 20:26 @lunza The native Irish don't have a problem with this. We've got Polish-Irish, Croatian-Irish, Slovakian-Irish... #
• 20:27 @lunza ...Czech-Irish, Nigerian-Irish... even a few American-Irish. (Like me.) Everybody parties together on "The Day That's In It. " #
• 20:27 @lunza Oh... and the native Irish have NO problem with the Gay Irish parading with everybody else on The Day, either. #
• 20:27 @7nina I wouldn't mind seeing it, if you have a moment. :) #
• 20:31 @7nina Sure. If it comes in before my bedtime I'll read it straightaway. (It's 8:30 PM here.) #
• 20:37 @dhewlett (heh) Nature always wins. #
• 01:15 @gracelessgirl No question, there's a lot of Indian around here these days. (And it's welcome.) #
• 01:16 @gracelessgirl But you could always go to europeancuisines.com & search on "tea trolley". :) #
• 01:26 ROAR! RT @particle_person: Star Wars as Norse myth. The Tattúínárdœla saga bit.ly/cGDyge #
