~~White~~ Gaelic Power Like the title of the post say's [sic], I'm looking for a person into her heritage, specifically "Gaelic" heritage, which is how I identify myself. I'm looking to start a family and I want to raise my/our children with a strong tradition and culture "language, beliefs, worldview, ect.,[sic]["] that's their own.

It's a certain type of women I'm looking for, true, but "you" don't have to have been born in Ireland/Scotland nor have had grandparents from those countries either. Hell, you don't even have to have a drop of Irish blood in you.

Where are the footnotes? I'd like to see the sources he's quoting.

Those aren't footnotes, their my parathetical comments.

"they're". Jesus.

hehe, oopsie.

"so being Irish or Scottish is no criteria for being a Gael"... What kind of bizarre 'culture' movement is this?

(and only now did I get "~~White~~ Gaelic Power". Yes, true.)

Sorry, bad joke. I was referring to the inordinate and unnecessary number of quotation marks he used in his ad.

So, is he into human sacrifice in a large wicker cage, cutting mistletoe with a silver sickle and jumping through the Beltane fires? Cause if so, well hell, send him my phone number. ;-)

Heck, that's the color it should be. And it's much better than cilantro.

They'll have kids like one of my wife's students who said he hates ALL English people since his family is Irish. She revealed her own English heritage and he said, "I didn't mean *you*, ma'am!" She said, yes you did... and he said, "But you're Polish!" She said, "No, I'm English. My husband is Polish." She challenged him, asking him why he hates the English and he simply said, "They oppressed my people." (He has an Irish surname.) She pressed him for historical details, but he had none.

Apparently he's angry but has no idea why.

And, I like minced garlic myself.

It seems to be a common condition.

I've met a lot of that.

Oven-baked is the best. Take a whole garlic, decapitate the little bugger with your sharpest knife, and bake in the oven at 220 celcius until it's so smooth you can spread it on bread like buttah.

Me too. And I immediately cursed the damn foodies.

Me, too. I think because I've been thinking about commiting to white pepper. Yeah, one more damn spice in my jammed-to-the-rafters spice cupboard.

Just, thank god there is no such thing as white garlic powder. No room! No room!
