Be afraid of what? Sounds like fun.

Re: Be afraid, be very afraid
All problems are problems of geography.
A problem in Kerry is not a problem for most of us.

Fun is subjective? I suppose it depends on what you are being subjected to.
On a scale of 1 to 10, bodhran has got to rank higher than water boarding.
A problem in Kerry is subjective to how very Kerry you are.

They should have weight classes, pairs, coxless fours, etc etc.
Also a round-robin bodhran team competition.

Or back in the hippie 70's, you could have been very hairy Kerry.
And then there is always Contrary Dancing (couples but with each person doing their own thing).

Re: Be afraid, be very afraid
Thank you, Micheal. I will send that joke to my father because he likes to do contra dancing.
