WASP: blank canvass on which to deposit a personality
preferably something colorful and emotional
like Irish or Italian

never met a boring Irishman
plenty with libation challenges though

my only regret is not possessing any Italian genes
I envy those with the gift of speaking with their hands
instead, I settle with speaking with my eyes

several best friends are Italian, the salt of the earth
they are also handy when a guy needs a Leg Doctor

I gotta jag you further
my mother (me mither) grew up in Ireland, immigrated to your fine land of lords and commons, but felt more than a few slights due to heritage
Irish men and women flocked to London in search of work, usually in unskilled areas
since the remarkable rise in Ireland's economy, job growth has blossomed in Dublin and elsewhere
for years, Ireland had the greatest GDP growth in all Europe
now advertisements abound in London (so I hear) looking for unskilled workers to move to Dublin where the work is
e.g. restaurants, hotels, landscaping, hospitals
when I read that last year, I thought "THERE IS JUSTICE"

take it easy, and dont anything I say personally
a Jackass is as a Jackass does
it will be good to hear a British perspective
