OT: Happy Bloomsday!

The odyssey of Leopold Bloom, as recounted by James Joyce in Ulysses , took place in Dublin on 16 June 1904.

That’s tomorrow, silly. :smiley:

Oh. And here I thought it was Bloo’s b’day and was going to stick out my tongue at the aging fart. :laughing:

Hey, my band already played on the real Bloomsday, a few weeks ago, on a cold blustery day. What’s up with this new Bloomsday anyway? Like some kind of impostor? :smiley:

The 16th of June is also my birthday and I was born in Dublin. (Don’t try to use this as a pickup line, it’s never worked for me.)

Gee, Tony, if you used that as a pick-up line here at the Saloon #10, especially if you have ahint of a brogue, there would be women all over ya! Small town grrls, ya know?

If women were all over me, then my wife would really be all over me, and I don’t mean that in a good way. :boggle: Besides, I have no hint of a brogue, but I do have a twinkle in my eye.

It’s already the 16th in Dublin, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TONY!

Looks like you won’t be fighting them off in Deadwood, anytime soon, Tony, but “Dublin” is a great word to be throwing about on St. Patrick’s Day, but who wants drunk cowgirls hanging offa 'em, anyhow?

That’s kind of a loaded question, now isn’t it?

(Just turn around and walk away, Steven. Just don’t even touch this one…)

:laughing:
Steven

Any sensible guy would walk away from them, really they carry pistols and whips! :smiley:

Thom Larsen from The Whistleshop is in band called Bloomsday! They do have a CD out - pretty good stuff! :slight_smile: http://www.thewhistleshop.com/catalog/tutorials/cds/bloomsday/bloomsday.htm

Yeah, and…? :smiley:

You should see 'em when the bikers are in town, at least just once! :smiley: :roll: :stuck_out_tongue:

Mmmm…whistols and pips.

Oh, and happy birthday, Tony!

Pipples and wassols? :roll: :roll: :stuck_out_tongue: :boggle:
