Hit by a car bomb at work

Recommended Posts

Jesus fucking christ, lighten the fuck up people. I was trying to have some drinks with my buddies and people had to make an issue and ruin it. to everyone who just joined in the friendly banter, thank ya;)

to everybody else, if you don't like the name of a drink, don't drink it, if you don't like the thread, don't read it, but getting my thread moved to speakers corner cause people are too righteous, or maybe just need to have some thicker skin, that's fucked up, get off you damn high horse, or if you really want to make an issue go start your own thread in SC, but don't ruin someone elses who's just having a good time.

Dan, honey....You would have done better with a "Slow Screw" or "Sex on the Beach." ;):) Yesh, youngin...;)




By the way, people...he didn't make up the name of the drink. It's been around for ages so getting pissed at GQ is...well...dumb. :S

How you Doin?;):D

Actually I didn't have a go at GQ, I know he didn't make up the name of the drink. To tell you the truth I didn't know there was a drink called a car bomb, so sticking Guiness in it and calling it an Irish Car Bomb make more sense but its still an ofensive name. Even more so because it came out of the US (along with 18.5 Million pounds a year directly into the coffers of the IRA who used it to blow women and children to pieces) Unfortunatly there is still some people in the US who view the troubles through rose tinted spectacles (I'm not directing this at anyone here) they see this romanticised version of whats going on in Ireland without really having a clue. Imagine how pissed you'd feel if people in the UK were giving 18.5 Million pounds (X1.5 for dollars) directly to the Iraqi insurgency every year for them to buy explosives and ammo to kill your troops. Then someone (seemingly) names a drink in honour of those killings. Thats why its offensive. On top of which the Iraqis aren't blowing women and children on the streets of America (Yet).
Anyway alls well that ends well. I hope we didn't really spoill GQ's down time and I appologise if we did.


Now, about that spanking thing...

I realize some people see what's going on in Ireland with rose tinted spectacles, but is the naming of that drink similar to our use of BSBD and all our little phrases to get through the "rough" things in our sport?

I really wish I knew who started the name of that drink. It would be interesting to see if it was someone who has no clue about the fact that it is offensive (or maybe did know it and didn't care) or if it's someone who was trying to make light - in a morbid way - of the situation.

Edited to add: If the naming of the drink came from someone who used to live in Ireland and said "Hell with it...my nerves are shot...I'm outta here" and came to the US and named the drink - I guess I would view it differently than someone who knew the name of the drink would be offensive and still named it that anyway.

Now...back to the rest of the original post: ;)

An Irish car bomb!!! My whole team decided to stay late and do Irish car bombs in the team room after a hard days work(we were doing HALO training all day;)).

just thought I'd throw it out there, cause we all know how hard I work:P



would that be Irish car bombs funded by Americans who live in New York? :)
seriously though, you have no idea just how offensive that is to English people. It's no use saying "lighten up" because you aren't offended by it, English people will be offended by it whether you think they should or shouldn't be

we had almost 3 decades of terror attacks on this country by the IRA (who were mainly funded by Americans, thanks for that... where was your war on terror then?) and even if the name is from the booze content of the drink, it's STILL going to be offensive.

i've just read a post about the average IQ of yank soldiers, guess what i'm thinking now?
