In Honor of St. Pattie's Day...

In our newly minted Best Picture Oscar, The Departed, Matt Damon's character, Colin, woos over his love interest, the psychoanalyst Madolyn, by quoting something Freud said about the Irish:
Colin: "Of course I want to see you again. What Freud said about the Irish is we're the only people impervious to psychoanalysis."
But as Dr. Charles points out, despite what you'll find on a Google search or the Boston Globe, Freud didn't actually ever say that! In a clever act of investigative journalism, Dr. Charles actually wrote to the director of research at the Freud Museum, in London, and asked him about the legitimacy of the quote's attribution. His response (which is also stated on the FAQ section of the museum's website):
"There is no evidence Freud said [the quote]. The only documentation seems to be Anthony Burgess, in his introduction to a book of Irish short stories: 'One of [Freud's] followers split up human psychology into two categories - Irish and non-Irish.'"
Impervious to psychoanalysis or not, here's wishing a happy St. Patrick's Day to all you crazy Irish!

There's nothing like a good anti-apocryphal. Good call.

@Dave...and are you Irish? Cos if you're american that doesn't count...no matter what your ancestory is...patties day is short for patrick..pat means patrick, you're not more Irish cos you say Paddy you fool. And if you were proper Irish you wouldn't be bothered about something so stupidly trivial. you're the idiot and i bet youre a yank..

Karyn you dumbass, yes i am irish and not fake im half america, im from County Cork, in my beautiful town Bantry.
First your american, noone says Patty! Its Paddy, short for Patrick, long for Pat.

Ergo Paddy's Day (i forgot to put in the ownership comma on the Paddy on my previous post)

Im irish and sick of dumbass americans spelling and pronouncing this incorrectly.

And yes, you stand corrected Karyne (really spelt Karen, no Y)

DAve said...

And by 'not fake half American' I ment im not one of your yankey friends who is "half-Irish", My grandparents and those before them are from Cork, on my Mam's side from Carlow and Wexford. So dont lecture me on what it is to be irish, enjoy your Saint "Patty's" day, agus Is madra leis an ait anim thu!

Как получить Визу в Братиславу?
Очень просто!
Выбрать турагенство, которое смогло бы организовать и получение визы в Украине по
своей путевке или самостоятельно — на основании проплаченной путевки получать визу , прийдя в консульство с ваучером.
