Shared as a delightful example of Irish humor and as a joke reference.

The Rubberbandits perform "Horse Outside", a comic Irish song about a horse waiting outside, from the RTE show Republic of Telly.

“Here's a delightful example” (HN, 2022)

Equally, it's possible to go even further in the "bicycle" direction to end up ahead of those with cars. Here's a delightful example: Rubberbandits "Horse Outside" [this video] (NSFW at one point if you are listening closely and can understand the Irish accent, but unlikely to actually offend). The beginning might be boring, but it's short, so stick with it.

Thanks to HN, a little time ago I learned that my original conception of the Monroe Doctrine (donroe mocktrine?) was overly simplistic. Yay HN! [link] (who'd want to invade IE anyway? They have no culture beyond a pair of shite gaelic rappers and they're so backward they still travel on horseback: [this video] ) EDIT: and thank you HN for introducing me to Comrade Chuān Jiàn Guó. It is to laugh, slimy Terrie: [link]
