    So happy to see you haven’t forgotten the real meaning of the day! ;-)

    My kind of Holiday. Except, one problem with the video. Not a woman in sight.

    T’was once a time when such events called for the Holy James Joyce Memorial Drunk; where young lads, armed only with Bushmill’s, Guinness and a copy of “The Portable James Joyce” were known to set out around the town with but one purpose upon their testosterone-besotted minds: To awake upon the next ‘morn, unsure of their coordinates and utterly clueless as to how they found themselves to be in such a place to begin with. T’was once a time…

    Have a very, merry St. Paddy’s!

      T’was indeed, Comjam, ‘cept I was (and am) always a John Jameson man myself. NOT, of course, that I’m above–would ever refuse–the good Mr. Bushmill if t’were offered. :)

    I’m quite put out with my dry cleaners – my Coldstreamers tunic isn’t back yet. Just the thing for wearing when out and about on this day.

      Got your orange tie and vest laid out in case the uniform doesn’t make it back in time, Joe?

    For some reason, even before I clicked on the clip, I figured it would have something to do with Guinness.

    Joe, has anyone told you that you’re a trouble maker?

      Many a time, thank you. But I do prefer to think of myself as a ‘button pusher.’

      Virgil, if that doesn’t pan out I can always drop back a few centuries and go a viking. They gave the Irish fits too.

    Knew a lady who moved from Ireland and failed to show up for work on St.Patricks day. Oops she said, assumed it was a paid holiday like back home.

    Just got off the phone with a service rep from Clear, a lovely sounding lass with the name O’Malley. I asked if this were indeed her name or a St Paddy’s day change of moniker. Her response was “Oh, yes, that’s my name alright, and I don’t even drink!”

    At the end of the call, she asked if there were anything else she could do for me. I paused for a moment, thought about it, and passed on the request.

    “Wouldya be of a mind to be me designated driver tonight?” A giggle. “Sorry. The other half prolly wouldn’t approve.” Ah…had to ask. Default answer to questions unasked is ‘No’.

    There’s a right fine Irish Pub in downtown Kirkland, just off the waterfront of Lake Washington. Can you imagine the mischief that’ll take place there tonight?

    Yours Aye…

    How did that episode of the Sopranos go in which Paulie had a nightmare in which he died and Hell was being trapped in a bar called “The Emerald Piper” and it was St. Patrick’s day 24/7 for all eternity? :)

      Reminds of Reader’s Digest joke I saw years ago. A guy just went to hell and was asked what he wanted his punishment to be. He said, “I don’t know. Could I see some of the choices?” Ol’ Scratch called a gofer Imp to handle the tour duties and was shown a number of things, one of which was a room with only a threadbare couch with Nikita Khrushchev at end and reaching for Bidget Bardot at the other. After seeing the entire schema, the Imp returns him to the entrance desk and Scratch asks what he wants. “I think I like Khrushchev’s punishment.” Ol’ Scratch replies, “You don’t understand. That’s her punishment, not his.”

    Hee hee hee. :-)

    There are actually more Irish Americans than there are Irish living in Ireland. Weird huh? Prolific little suckers.

      That would be Americans of Irish ancestry. I ain’t Irish. I just have Irish ancestors.

    As they told me in Dublin, Ah, lad, I see that you are FBI. No, says I, I’m a Marine! That may be, said he, but you’re Foreign Born Irish.

    Knowing Lex’s fondness for Guinness, he must have a wee bit of the Green in him! $5.00 for the Beer fund!
