Brewing Up A Storm

So it's Paddy's Day and surprising it is not very exciting, just the usual shenanigans in the local at the treat of the local nightclub being open on a week night (the excitement). Anyways on this most Catholic of holidays that primarily involves walking down a street after our usual display of military strength and over-rated drinking abilities you have to ask yourself how a Welsh guy got so popular while being stolen with a few a sheep. Niall of the Nine Hostages created the Irish Vintners Federation wet dream, those publicans have a lot to be grateful for. In recent years its turned into a festival for some reason and now involves that most traditional of activities, a large fuck off fireworks display. No wonder the country is in the state it is!

So lets keep it all things Irish and select a Paddy's Day Irish anthem, think Feile, think Semple Stadium, think Thurles, think mid-nineties, think The Stunning...

Some Chilean Woman said...

I'd hate to be a confused American. But I don't blame them, any Celtic descent is pretty rad. I couldn't get away with it, I'm too Chilean.

Now, Obama...erm, he has too much rythm, he couldn't possibly be part Irish.
