As he jumped, he screamed something out. The director asked what it was and he said it was an Irish battle cry, so it was left in. When the movie was released in Dublin it brought the houses down, for what he had yelled was, "Pog maho-o-o-o-o-ne!" -- which translates into American English as "kiss my ass".

Had she said, "You make that hat look very pretty," it would have been blarney. What's your definition?

Those on Medicare or Medicaid will wait their turn I guess. The Mayo Clinic has always had an excellent reputation. Maybe the CEO should have stifled it.

I believe that in principle people should be free to migrate... and I believe that NO ONE should face discrimination for doing so, either from their home country or the one they are going to.. However, we should also be realistic and realise that where there is mass migration and immigration this can be problematic..

When EPA and FDA rules are "relaxed" or eliminated do they not realize it jeopardizes them and their children every time they breathe the air, drink the water, grow food in poisoned ground and every time they eat food, wear cosmetics, take prescription meds? How can you support something that is potentially lethal to you and your loved ones? Where's the logic behind that?

When he finishes the song I get him to start singing (wolf howling) it's pretty funny. Next I want to teach him to pick up a mike and drop it after he finishes his song. Cheers and happy weekend!
