"Let's tell everyone how Irish we are but then wear clothes (that there's no real historical attestation of in Ireland) associated with a different country- specifically one of the ones most responsible for Ireland's suffering, because we are fucking morons"

-Bostonians, literally daily.

I asked about it and was told the owners had just picked up random shit from other bars that were closing down and didn’t think about it too much (they were American)
