Smile and Nod

Gotta love the greens of Ireland.

And we had a lovely visit with Las--she's just a hoot. You get her and the Brit going and everything's up for grabs. It was definitely a very nice time.

We met Las through strange circumstances with the girl. The girl tends to pick up stray animals and strange friends. LOL Las is just plain whacky--she's got the good makings for a lovely relationship filled with good moments. All that's true and you just can't help but wanna adopt the gal.

But it was the blind leading the blind around this joint. The Brit was trying to interpret Las' remarks for the girl and I--and I gotta say, some moments he was equally hard to understand. (especially since he's just returned from England where he was overcompensating because he was told he sounded horribly 'Americanized'. LOL)
I did the smile and nod routine a whole lot.

I did end up laughing myself to tears, though....it would seem that on St. Patrick's day when Las, in all of her Irish wonder, tried to order at the bar the bartendered decided it would be easier if he just had her write it down. Apparently he looked at the paper, handed her a Guiness and simply told her "I can't make heads nor tails from the handwriting any better than I can your accent--have a beer and be happy." She drank free beer all night and boy, does she think America rocks! LOL
