Smithwicks, Smithwicks, Smithwicks God, I love this beer. That’s about all I drank when we went to Ireland last summer. The only thing is that it’s tastes really smooth to me so it’s easy to drink a lot. The local Jewel was out of Smithwick’s for St. Patty’s day this year, and I gotta pick up a case the next time I’m there. And redheads. I wish my wife were a redhead. ---

> [@sulamith](#): > > The “black Irish” are people like Colin Farrell. Irish, but with pale skin, dark hair, dark eyes. It has nothing to do with skin color. Legends tell of the selkies, who are beautiful dark-eyed women who wear a seal skin in the ocean but sometimes come on shore and take off their seal coats to bask in the sun. If a man can sneak up on her and take her seal skin coat, she is bound to live with him and be his wife. The Black Irish are said to be the children of these marriages. > > Which brings me to my favorite Irish movie, _The Secret of Roan Inish_. This movie tells the selky story in a very charming and heart-warming way. I watch it repeatedly. > > And speaking of Colin Farrell, he has a new movie coming out called _Ondine_, which is yet another take on the selky legend. He plays a sailor who falls in love with a selky. Roan Irish is a great movie no matter how many times I see it. I heard about his new movie but I thought he falls in love with another guy? ---
