@SumoSnipe: No, it's just a coincidence that they both taste like piss. We have Budweiser here too. It's what you drink if there's a special offer on a 24-can crate.

To some folks, having a well-balanced personality means having a chip on BOTH shoulders.

The violence thing means people don’t mess with you. It’s generally a good thing. A friend returned to her car to find someone trying to break in. The guy held a crowbar to her face and asked “where are you from?”. When she said she was from Limerick, he scampered off.

From the full link:

“The origin of the actual name limerick for this type of poem is obscure. Its usage was first documented in England in 1898 (New English Dictionary) and in America in 1902. It is generally taken to be a reference to the County of Limerick in Ireland (particularly the Maigue Poets), and may derive from an earlier form of nonsense verse parlour game that traditionally included a refrain that ended ‘Come all the way up to Limerick?’”

So they have SOMETHING to do with it.

Violence? Hey, I’d be pissed off, too.

That didn’t work, for three reasons.
Anyhoo… People from Limerick aren’t known for Limericks, not in Ireland anyway. We’re better known for our violence.

@joodles: But McArdles isn't. Also, I didn't know Beamish was a stout. My bad.
