the same, except they are 100 times stronger, more athletic, and weight about 250 pounds.  A running back like barry sanders, or emmit smith (in their primes) would have made these guys look like 5 year old candy-stripers.

So working shit jobs in the US as "cheap labor" was preferable to life in Ireland?  Thanks for making my point for me.  ;D

Famine was the main reason many left. Its endearing to think how everyone is proud to have some irish blood in them though.

Thats a great song wavelength!

Also basically all of the USA is immigrants- trace your ancestors far enoughback they were slaves, irish farmers, european mill workers etc
