But it's a shame they didn't stick with Croweaters.  Would be just about the best name for any team anywhere.

Although not a mascot name, one of my favorites is right here in Wiscy down near Lacrosse.

It's a combined school district of the 3 towns Gale-Ettrick-Treampealeau. For some reason in the past they decided to put those 3 town names in that order.

Therefore, the school is referred to and the buses all read on the side "G-E-T High."

Since I grew up right across the river, I'll add that I never heard Gale without Ettrick. I don't even know if those are two separate entities. It was always Gale-Ettrick. When they added Trempeleau, I have no clue.

The AFL season gets closer and the league is putting out a couple good vids.  This seven-minute mini-doco is on Mason Cox, the 6'10" Texan who has broken into the Collingwood starting lineup.

EDIT: By the way, one of the coaches that is interviewed, Anthony Rocca, is a retired Collingwood legend and the brother of Sav Rocca, another Collingwood legend and who also spend seven seasons in the NFL punting for the Eagles and the Redskins.

Damn, you guys are tough. OK! I'll just settle for some Bushmills 21 year old single malt Irish Whiskey!  Am I forgiven?

Maybe NOW I jest! Or do I?  ;D

Bushmills 21-year old makes you forgivable.  Bud Light does not.  I hope the appeals court can rule before ST. Patty's day is over! ;D

Yes

Go for the Celtic 3-way.  Pour Harp, then Smithwick's, then Guiness into a pint glass.  Or go for an Irish Car bomb; Jameson's and Baily's in a shot glass dropped into a pint of Guiness.

Are you kidding? I'm old (see signature below). If I drank either one of those I'd be walking single file. It's possible it would cause me to take back things I never stole. But I could be talked into a non-lethal libation or ten! Do like your attitude, though. Here's looking at you, kid! 🍷 🍺 🍸 🍹  ;D

Playing traditional Irish music is one of my hobbies.  I keep it sensible and have a couple of pints of Guinness (a fairly weak beer BTW) and a fair amount of water when I'm playing at a local session.  Yesterday was fun, went over to a friends house and we played a few tunes.  I'll leave the strange combinations to the young ones who haven't learned yet.  That reminds me, I should check on my son today and see how he survived the weekend.
