    ERIN GO BREA!!

    Monday, March 17, 2008, 02:17 PM PST [General]

    I would have said " Erin Go Braugh", but I found a site this morning which said that " Erin Go Braugh" comes from an American misspelling of the gaelic phrase " Erin go Brea" ( Ireland the Beautiful ) or " Erin go Deo" ( Ireland forever). I'm determined to learn gaelic when I am not bogged down by tests, projects, and the like, but for right now...I'll have to be content with my limited knowledge of the language. My whole purpose behind this blog was to wish everyone a HAPPY IRISH PRIDE DAY!!!

    And I am such a dork... I just sent my Art History teacher an e-mail telling her how her class helped me to understand something that I've heard for the past 19 years. I now understand what Pierre the parrot ( from The Enchanted Tikki Room in Disneyland ) meant when he said, " Just like the Folie- Bergere with only feathers!" Oooooh, college....

    Oooh! Gaelic. I studied Scottish Gaelic for a while and it's tricky, but once you get the pronunciations and alphabet down, it sticks pretty well. Good luck!
