That burger looks divine! I know it's going to get me fat and mess w/ my cholestrol like an oil tanker leak in the ocean- but I don't care. It tastes good!

Sri Lankan monks fist fighting, book store bought karma, and toilet plungers: what does this all have to do with an Irish bar that serves hamburgers? Get a life people!

People getting irked happens everyday. You don't think a monk doesn't get irked (like in Sri Lanka where they get into fist fights and such) The real problem starts in what you do with it when it happens.

Skipping the pro-colon cancer/bad karma argument, I used to live 2 blocks from Paddy Macs. Inside of 3 visits I felt like a regular and by 5 visits I was. The burgers really are that good, and if you like wings Paddy Macs are pretty good and if you're drinking on a budget, pretty cheap. I've got a great fiancee now, but it cost me living near Paddy Macs. I don't know if I should be happy or sad...

Don't mess with those Karma Kaygu lineage Budhist dudes, they can kick some butt (didn't you see 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?').

Your not a bonafide Buddhist (in the Karma Kaygu lineage). If you were, you'd never get irked. HA!

As a bonafide Buddhist (in the Karma Kaygu lineage) it always irks me when people misuse the word "karma". When you eat meat, the karma you generate is high cholesterol and fat content which can lead to poor health. Not the souls of dead things to haunt you. I don't care what the bookseller at the new age store told you, it's not very bright to antagonize people. :-)

Veggiegurl: I'm sure a spoonful of Pepto will make the ghosts go away. You're mistaking haunting with indigestion.

I feel you are doing a great place a disservice. You left wing liberal vegetarians will not be happy until you are burning fetuses with copies of the constitution. Go buy an electric car and drive to Canada with Michael Moore, Howard Dean and Jane Fonda.

Eating meat generates really bad karma, man. Don't you realize that when you bite into that big juicy cow meat - it's really the same thing as going home one day and deciding to shoot your dog and eat it? It's exactly the same. You meat eaters are all murderers and the souls you consume will haunt - until they get their revenge.

I heard Irish people make burgers out of dogs. It's true, my Chinese cousin told me.

Hey Gekgirl- I'll bring it: your swollen colons gonna need a toilet plunger. Your IQ is about as high as the fecal count of that turd burger. But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to eat shitty meat - that is until you collapse from a massive heart attack. FREE WILLY!

You missed two key details about Paddy Mac's, as I have certainly wasted many hours there. First, the true appeal of the place is in the summer where you can sit outside on the street. Second, this bar has ashtrays by the urinals. Which is just so. cool.
