As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before

And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before

And as I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before

And as I went home on Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
They're two lovely Geranium pots me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But laces in Geranium pots I never saw before

And as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a head upon the bed where my old head should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before

And as I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw....
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns ....where ....

God bless the Irish folk song musicians who keep this ancient art alive.
.
There just isn't anything else quite like Irish folk songs. There are a lot of them that aren't prurient, you know.

I have a CD somewhere of an Australian group of Irish musicians who sing a song about importing various geographical and cultural aspects of Ireland to Australia. Can't find it, though.

Oh, its humor time!
.
It's pretty funny (but too sorry to laugh) how they manage to dream up an entire creature from one bone fragment. 
.
Reminds me of how flat-earthers imagine a silly nonsense system with no data to base it on. And meanwhile they refuse to make any observations like the appearance of the moon from different parts of the earth at the same time of day, or the angle between the sun and quarter moon. Just like those academy award-winning dreamers in the cartoon!! HAHAHA

Neil,

What are you on? Bourbon or Scotch?
.
More evidence to convict the accused:  calumny, derision, disrespect, and no evidence.
.
And no willingness to engage in any intelligent discussion.
.
Epithets, slander and falsehood is all you can come up with? Speaks volumes, dude.
.
Answer me this: what positive contribution to this discussion have you contributed? Anything?

Tomorrow, Sunday, June 16th, 2017, the moon will reach its last quarter at 12:28 pm in the Pacific Time Zone, but the moon sets at 12:04 pm. 
.
So this is an excellent opportunity to check the angle between the sun and moon, provided it's a clear western sky, and you don't wait too long, when the moon will go down below the horizon. 
.
If you check the angle at 9, 10, 11 and 12, you'll see if it changes much during those hours. 
.
Remember that both the moon and the sun traverse the sky, but at different rates. The sun moves faster. And you can look up the number of minutes of a degree it changes every minute, on an average. The rate is not absolutely constant since the rates of the sun and of the moon are not absolutely consistent, but they are generally the same from day to day, and year to year, within a limited range.
.
But flat-earthers do not enjoy specific measurements and objective data. They don't like to think about where anyone can expect to find the sun or moon in the sky at a given time and date, for example. They say things like this has nothing to do with Scripture, cannot be found in the Bible, and it smacks of devil worship.
.
There is a name for people who ascribe any kind of real objective knowledge to devil worship.
.
The astronomers who guided the Three Kings, Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar to Bethlehem must have been practitioners of evil, no?

No surprise, again. Flat-earthers are not interested, apparently, in making observations of astronomical fact.
.
So I guess they only want to think about their subjective fantasy. Prove me wrong by making observations.

Anyone interested in seeing the total Solar Eclipse of August 21st should be prepared to protect your eyes from blindness by getting a cheap pair of eclipse goggles:
