I tried to send this last week, but it’s hard to raise people from the dead.
Without further ado, a few words from the late, great Banshee:
BANSHEE: Aye begora!
How are ye, ye fluthered Americans, a’with ye Happy Meals, an’ yeer Nascar an’ that?
Sean Cassidy here, at yar service. Ye may know me from a wee book ages a’go callin’ itself X-Men. I consider me-self a fair bloke an’ that, so far be it from me t’take the mickey outta no one. A’but I’d say that Marvel was actin’ the maggot when they chose t’do me in!
Why kill ol’ Banshee, I ask ye!? Sure, I act the eejit time an’ again! No reason to leave me body in flitters! Ye gommin’ Gobdaws!!!
Anyhow, that not be why I asked for this wee forum t’day. I just wanted to come back from heaven above ta congratulate the Boston Celtics on their top dollar perfaaarmance in th’ Bouncy Rugby Finals (or “basketball,” as ye cabbages alike te call it) against the skunchy Los Angeles Lakings.
Well done t’me fellow Irishmen, Kevin O’Garnett, Paul O’Pierce, an Raymond O’Allen, on winnin’. Bet yar feelin’ better than a brand new brown shoe. I’ll keep some sqidders on the back burner for ‘em up in St. Peter’s pad in the sky.
NATE: Uh…Banshee?
BANSHEE: Aye?
NATE: No one on the Celtics was Irish.
BANSHEE: Nay, ye say? They were adorned with green clovers! Seen ‘em with me own eyes!
NATE: Yeahhhh…but--
BANSHEE: Ye be off yar chomp, Cosby! Don’t make me come over there! I’ll be dug outta ya!
NATE: I don’t know what that—
BANSHEE: A shiner’s got yer name on it! Are ye Malahide!?
NATE: Stop using words I don’t—
(pat pop pat pat)
BANSHEE: Ha HA!
NATE: You just…tapped me on the top of the head.
BANSHEE: There be more where that came from, whippersnapper!
I have understood about 20% of the text but it sounds wonderful. Must learn Irish!!!

Whippersnapper And will you look at that... Whippersnapper really does exist:
"someone who is unimportant but cheeky and presumptuous " (source: http://www.wordreference.com/definition/whippersnapper)
