THE BEST:

10. Irish Music:

Word to your moms I came to drop bombs, I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms...

9. Troy O'Leary:

The, um, Irishman who was nicknamed "Yummy" had 7 RBI for the Red Sox in Game 5 of the 1999 ALDS vs. Cleveland...Now that's what UB calls the "Luck of the Irish!"

8. Notre Dame Football:

You either love em or hate em. UB loves em...

7. Belushi's Luck of the Irish sketch:

Maybe the funniest thing Belushi did on SNL:

"Let's talk about the bad luck of the Irish, all right? How about this, POTATO FAMINE!! How about that? It scares them, doesn't it? Well it should. That's why they came here in the first place. So they wouldn't have to work in the potato fields. That's why they became politicians, priests, and cops. Luck? Gimme a break..."

(Here is the transcript, UB couldn't find the video on line...)

6. Conan O'Brien:

Can't wait til he takes over for Leno...UB can't stay up that late now that he has to be at Chowdaheads Inc. by 9am. (Here is an example ofwackinesswackyness)

5. Killians Irish Red:

This delicious beverage is a favorite in UB's house...

4. Potatoes:

They are delicious and healthy and can be ammunition for a potato gun...

3. Boston Celtics:

Still the NBA's #1 franchise: 16 World Championships from 1957-1986...

If you're a blonde, dye your hair red for St. Patrick's Day...
