I'm not drunk, I'm Irish. That's the way we walk.

Dunno who said that. Probably me

Fr. Dougal; They say it's as big as four cats! And it's got a retractable leg so it can leap up at you better! And it lights up at night, and it's got four ears - two of them are for listening and the other two are just kind of backup ears. And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach it to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!

On a more serious note; Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
