Is it time for a Celtic thread?
Things are getting mighty mopey and serious.

I think it is time for an Irish thread!


how about a dance contest!

Post a Celtic thread, no mater how obscure, or weird,...

...serious, or funny.

So long as it has some vague Celtic connection!

3. Celtic for next Saturday morning: KXCI Acoustic Alternative Program
http://www.kxci.com/

Saturday mornings, 8 AM Arizona time (11 AM Eastern Daylight time) The first hour of the program does a lot of Celtic music. Well worth a listen.

KXCI has a very interesting programming lineup all the time.

6. The tattoo you see on my avatar is Celtic
and actually on my back... :)

It's a reproduction of an actual design found on a war shield.

12. I going to get a celtic knot tattoo :)
I'm going cheap and simple with a trinity knot. Not for the religious implication but for the symbolism of three in other ways -- myself and my 2 daughters, myself and my 2 sisters, the alternate celtic meaning of "maiden, mother and crone" to symbolize the stages of a woman's life. I'm very excited about it :)

8. Celtic? Given your screen name....
wouldn't Aztec be more appropriate? I could post pix of people having their hearts cut out or try to channel one of my patron gods, The Left-Handed Hummingbird.

Just kidding - at least in parts :)

Khash.

33. The Commitments, Mustang Sally.
OK, it is celtic because the film is about some Irish guys who formed a band, and because I just love the music and want to share.

Good idea BTW, things did seem to be somewhat morose.

35. Love it!
We watched P.S. I love You over the weekend and Gerard Butler belts it out, but no where near as good as Robert Arkins.
