Lithuanians and the Irish

[Richmondbread]

Oddly seem similar. They are brave noble people. My grandmother was full Lithuanian. It's unusual because my mothers side is Anglo mostly. I enjoy that mix, though. Lithuanians are a lot like the Irish in spirit and temperament, and unfortunately intelligence.

The Polish settlers to the more easterly lands almost always blended with locals. Richie is probably some kind of mix of Lithuanian and Polish.

Poles in Lithuania are mostly slavicized Lithuanians, according to most sources. Polish was a more prestigious language during the Commonwealth.

That brings me to the topic regarding the similarities between the Irish and Lithuanians: both are Catholic, both have a history of struggle and domination, both are speakers of a language that was subjugated during centuries, both have a culture with strong ancient pagan traditions, both are potato-eaters and heavy drinkers.

Are you Irish of nights
But dismiss Muscovites?
Are you sorry they shifted apart?
Does your wishfulness say
Lithuanians may
Have kissed Irish and uttered "Sweetheart"?
Do they call you a snarler who hates Russian Bear?
Have you praise for the yore-steppe and claim to be heir?
Is your heart chilled lest plain
Lithuanians are stained?
Sell me, Meade, are they Irish by rights?

My Grandmother didn't even look Slavic. She had Finnish/Scandinavian influence with reference to her eyes and head shape.

Your grandma was quite the looker. She looked like a prettier Bjork.
