Not a rant...but a toast

Recommended Posts

Well.....I have ranted...I have complained...I have been deep in tought aty times......

 

But I am in a bit of a strange mood these days......could be a little DSB...or some SRS.......

 

But i have been thinking of great speaches.....or should I say Toasts....

 

The kind of toast you say when celbrating....remembering....aknowledging something......

 

one that has stuck in my mind these days.......

 

 

"May all the best times of your past, be the worst of your future"

 

 

I am interested in getting a nice colection of them.......

 

"for let us raise a glass to those who are gone, but not forgotten"

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but it was written in my high school yearbook:

 

Don't break your neck to study, break your study to neck!

Whenever I am with friends, often for some celebration, I always wish them the following:

 

"May you have all of what you need and some of what you want"

 

It's a favorite of mine to wish people as it covers needs, and distinguishes between "need" and "want". (Which some people have trouble with). :-)

I am soooo glad you make that distinction!!!! That was one of the central arguments at Christmas with the ex... I always said it's not about what the kids need, it's about what they want... she couldn't tell the difference!

I've had friends (who I grew tired of quickly) with the same issue. Reversed. They "needed" to buy new clothes but were borrowing money from their folks to pay for their groceries and bills.

 

Another good toast is a Celtic blessing. I don't remember it exactly, but its along the lines of:

 

"May the wind always be at your back"

Here are a few that I use.

 

"Here's to being single,seeing double,and sleeping triple"

 

"Here's to our wives and girlfriends. May they never meet"

 

"Dance as if no one were watching,Sing as if no one were listening,And live every day as if it were your last"

To all my fellow scotsmen... (My grampy's fave)

May those who love us, love us.

And those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts;

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles,

So we will know them by their limping.

"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand."

 

"May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far."

 

and of course:

 

"May you be in heaven a full half hour before the old devil knows you're dead."

May you lie to save a friend;

Steal the heart of the one you love; and

Cheat the devil of your soul!

 

Cheers mates!

I cut and paste from a site... but the Gaelic is real!!! My old gran used to wish us all kinds of wonderful things in Gaelic... either that or she was calling us filthy little demon spawn in a language we couldn't understand at the time....

Same here although we understood it and most of it was not nice because whenever she was mad she reverted back to her native tongue. Believe me, we made her mad alot!

The Gaelic seemed to get far more guttural when she was angry... I really think that's why Gaelic died out, the great phlegm shortage of 1917....

Here is a toast I have heard 2-3 times from a good friend. I will probably screw it up. Drinking good Scotch was involved, so memory is questionable ;)

 

May you never Lie, Cheat, Steal or Drink.... Unless

 

If You Lie, Lie with the One you Love

If you Cheat, Cheat Time

If you Steal, Steal your Heart's Together

If you Drink, Drink amongst us, your friends....

May your liquor be cold.

May your women be hot.

And may your troubles slide off of you,

slicker than snot.:mrgreen:

Here's to cheating,stealing,fighting and drinking.

If you cheat, may you cheat death.

If you steal,may you steal a woman's heart.

If you fight may you fight for a brother.

And if you drink,may you drink with me.

 

Additional Comments:

I'll drink to the girls that will,

I'll drink to the girls that won't,

But I won't drink to the girls that say they will,

and then find out they don't. :lol:
