Happy St. Green Person's Day, fellows. May none of you be pinched.

Also, if you haven't heard of it, you might want to check out St Baldricks organization. It's for the cancer kiddies: http://stbaldricks.org/

well, me living in Ireland, I definately know about Paddys day! Theyve been going on about it for weeks. On Teusday, Ill see if I can get some photos of the parade in town and put them on here. Its a real fun day for all!

That'd be cool.

That's one of the places I'd like to be, eventually.

Saint Patty.: Patron saint of hamburgers

leprechaun: advance scout for leparmy (you have to say it out loud)

And why are four-leaf clovers lucky? Any that grow get ripped out of the ground and smashed flat in a book, doesn't sound lucky to me.

Nonsense. Haven't you heard of the legendary Seven-Leafed Clover?

The thing traveled space and time to return to it's owner, and he left it in the ground for all to see. As it were.

Here we go...

St Patrick himself....


The pub guys! lol


Tractors (OLD)


Cute Pony!



There was a tonne of people there, but I was at the top of the town so got clear pics. There was loads of marching people and other tractors and more ponies and other floats, but I cant put them all on, this will do for now....

I think I like the pony one best.

What does it mean to be at the top of the town? On a roof somewhere?

No, I meant like at the top of the road, sort of, the town is on a hill, I was near the top, the start/end of the town where the shops end, It was less busy up there...lol...

Considering I made the pics small enough, heres a few more....

More Ponies:


Hang on somethings happened to photobucket, it wont work... damn.

Anyway, I heard that the parade in NewYork is HUGE.

Oh. I've never been in New York at the right time to see it, but the one in Denver has been pretty awesome in the past.

The funniest part is that Saint Patrick himself wasn't Irish, but Welsh.

Actually i have read something farely recently that says the snakes of that legend could be interpritted as polytheisists. Since he is the one that drove christianity into ireland and drove the celts and other polytheistics

Yes, the legend is generally referring to the banishing of evil and "uncivilised" religions, paganism stuff. But the real reason for there being no snakes is that its an island, and they just never got here. Me and my brother have plotted a few ideas to introduce snakes here a few times, lol.

You mean like putting a few on something airbourne?

No, by standing on the nearest coastline and throwing them as hard as possible.

Hah. I knew you were too afraid of Samuel L Jackson to try putting them on a plane.

Everyone respectfully fears Samuel Jackson. Except Hayden Christensen.

Secretly, Christensen is the most terrified of all. He just thinks it makes him look manly when he stands up to Mr. Jackson.
