So we are. Thats some pretty good English too ill admit.
I had the sarcasm knocked out of me back in my days at the local hedge school unfortunately, I've been super serious ever since.
Dear Feisty_Snow_Beaner
It's beenany moons since the last time we spoke, of which we learned you were being shipped off to iowa to fight the war against minapolis(?)
When will this long war end and bring you back to us your family here in California. This winter has killed off two cows, 1 sheep and a man from some made up place called Londonderry. Sure we only know a place called derry.
Please send your mother a letter as she is worried.
Yours truly
Eskimo
Londonderry is a real place, it's just not where people think, because a mistake made by a lad called garry jumitts in 1803 when placing roadsigns, he acvidentaly placed the sign for a small farm village in tyrone, named londonderry in the place of a few sign for derry, which was the perfect distance away. Due to this there is some confusion about the name itself, and the place, but dont worry, lately some kind county council lads did a lovely job at correcting this 120 year old mistake.
People still penpal? Like full on handwritten letters? I assumed we were all slaves to the screen!
The discord does be fairly lively with chat most days, if that'll do ya! Link should be in the side bar there
No I donāt mean the traditional writing long letters out haha . I just figured in this digital age people would know I meant just messaging/chatting back and forth lol
Nothing stopping you from being independent and wanting a ride to be fair. Fair enough. Canāt promise you the quickest of replies or the most articulate but if you want to send a message Iāll reply.
Just checked the prices of it over here...and holy fuck...it's E126 for a 12 pack and E76 for a 4 pack, plus E10 for delivery! Well, now I know what to tell the Snickers guy to bring if he ever comes back..
It's not that, it's more like a craving for a particular kind of junk food. I sometimes crave tinned potatoes too, even though I have bags of fresh ones in the house. I blame my brain.
Welcome from the irish people in winter when we drink beer and hard alcohol and eat stews all days while waiting for our 2, maybe 3 weeks of summer to come around for when we can do all this stuff outside. Then back into the house for next winter.
Well CA just hasnāt been in a good state for sometime , i have other reasons too, a laundry list haha. If youāre interested in having an American pen pal then jhst send me a message haha
What do you wanna learn? Iāll expect a 3000 word essay, no more no less. If itās a good essay, Iāll pretend to be your Irish grandparent so you can get an Irish passportā¦
From Northern Ireland less than 3 miles from the border but frequently travel, work and spend time across the border aswell. Happy to talk and answer any questions you may have š

K how much?
I mean I'd like to but I'm not sure how to approach the language barrier What's your English like?
I honestly canāt tell if youāre being sarcastic haha
So we are. Thats some pretty good English too ill admit. I had the sarcasm knocked out of me back in my days at the local hedge school unfortunately, I've been super serious ever since.
Thatās too bad, hopefully youāll see the humor in my ways too haha
Now that we are being serious I've a serious question to ask. How do they make mashed potato in california?

Sure ya never know, people are strange! All these hipsters wanting to get back to old school roots, maybe letter writing is the next big thing!
Eugh, letters are so last year. I only communicate with close friends via heiroglyph.
Pardon ?
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel
Is this a sugar daddy type deal lol
Iām independent and live on my own āŗļø
He didn't say no...
I will yeah
That definitely means u wonāt lol
Ahh youāre good šš
Keeping up with the irish urban dictionary I see
Did ye have no luck on the Ireland page
I actually did! but some folks suggested this subreddit as well hah
Ahh good! How many pen pals do ye have now?
Iāve got a few āŗļø
Iād say mattress mick would make ye a fine pen pal..
Be honest now. Are you just looking for the ride ?
Iām pretty independent and I intend to keep it that way. Just wanting to chat with Irish folks lol
(Sex. By āthe rideā, Mrkerro meant sex.)
I knew that hahahaha
Nothing stopping you from being independent and wanting a ride to be fair. Fair enough. Canāt promise you the quickest of replies or the most articulate but if you want to send a message Iāll reply.
Iowa would be a long way to go for a ride.
 Edit to add this is a joke. I have no interest in ridin anyone on Reddit or in Iowa.
Just watch the banshees of inisherin, it's a documentary about Ireland in 2023.
Really explains well why no one has fingers here
It's why we can't be penpals, not enough fingers for the writing. I can push the keys on the keyboard with the stumps though.
Just join the discord its a complete and utter shitshow of nonsense talk and cats/dogs/fastfood/games comparisons also beer and ufc
How are beer and UFC the add-ons at the end there? Beer is the lifeblood of our drunken pie-faced foolish server.
I try not to lead with the best bits
Gotta leave em wanting more
I think someone else said that maybe I will. I actually just made a discord acct yesterday hahaha
I'd love to do it, but you would have to be willing to put me up for 2 weeks in the summer, and I'll reciprocate by letting you visit me in Bray
You againā¦
Me š š
Now I have an oddly specific craving for Dinty Moore beef stew, which apparently my brain associates with Iowa...?
Mmmm I wouldnāt say thatās associated with Iowa necessarily lol
Just checked the prices of it over here...and holy fuck...it's E126 for a 12 pack and E76 for a 4 pack, plus E10 for delivery! Well, now I know what to tell the Snickers guy to bring if he ever comes back..
Beef stew from a can? Come on lad, if there's one thing an Irish person ought to be able to knock up themselves it's a stew.
It's not that, it's more like a craving for a particular kind of junk food. I sometimes crave tinned potatoes too, even though I have bags of fresh ones in the house. I blame my brain.
We are a great bunch of lads in fairness
Blur or Oasis?
I shot JR
I accept but only via us dming each other pictures of hand written letters š
Welcome from the irish people in winter when we drink beer and hard alcohol and eat stews all days while waiting for our 2, maybe 3 weeks of summer to come around for when we can do all this stuff outside. Then back into the house for next winter.
Love it āŗļø
Get the app Slowly! It lets you write digital letters to people.
Someone else suggested this to me, thanks!
People think we are Catholic we are actually all still pagans
Catholicism = Paganism right?
Yes but only to speak of artichokes

Sure. What made you move from California to Iowa?
Well CA just hasnāt been in a good state for sometime , i have other reasons too, a laundry list haha. If youāre interested in having an American pen pal then jhst send me a message haha

Must be load testing new Reddit inbox technology š¤
Do I count as an Irish pen pal if I too am from California but have been living in Ireland for a few years?
Yeah sure!!!

Iām from the Bay Area š
Oh ok so youāe from up north. Iām from SoCal haha, little desert town nobody has ever heard of
Ridgecrest? Thatās my go-to guess.
What do you want to chat about?
What do you wanna learn? Iāll expect a 3000 word essay, no more no less. If itās a good essay, Iāll pretend to be your Irish grandparent so you can get an Irish passportā¦
They're not native, that's racist. *
The Irish are native in Ireland ā¦.who did you think our native people were???
I could set you up with Teresa Carmody, but there is to be no sexual intercourse without her consent and absolutely NO spreading lies about Limerick.
