Happy St. Patrick's Day

His followers were probably some of the great PR geniuses of all time, since snakes were not indigenous to Ireland to start with.

There will be a lot of amateur drinkers in the bars today. It's a good day to stay off the roads after the end of the work day. Expect the cops to be out in force on DUI patrols.

  1. If you'd like an interesting perspective on St. Patrick, read Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon". Don't bother with the TV movie.

    But what the hell, I'm a harp and I'll act like it today...

  3. NF--

    "Harp" is synonymous with "paddy" or "mick". Ireland has a thousand-year tradition of harp music.
