Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show!

Originally, I was going to use this week’s blog to induct two new teams into the BTS Hall of Fame. Well, I guess you could say I got caught up in the St. Patrick’s Day Spirit. Now, I didn't go on a weekend bender up at Liam's screaming Guinness for everyone!!! Never believe what you read in the Star!

Actually, there are a great many Irish blessings and sayings that many of you have heard and are familiar with, and there are many others that you may not have heard before. Everyone loves an Irish blessing so I have decided to dedicate this week’s entry to St Patrick’s Day!

Next week, we will dedicate the entry entirely to the enshrinement of two more teams into the BTS Hall of Fame. They will join Class of 08 members “I Peed in your Pool” and “The Chameleons”.

So enjoy the sayings and come back to see who got in the Hall of Fame next week!

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

When Irish eyes are smiling,
Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world is bright and gay
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away.

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.

May you live to be a hundred years
With one extra year to repent.


May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts
And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping!

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland's faith and pride.

May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.

(and a couple of drinking related ones)
There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?

Here's to a long life and a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one!

(and in closing)
May you live as long as you want,And never want as long as you live.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from The Big Trivia Show
