Green Daze

As a rule I don't celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. It's nothing personal really to the Irish or any of their kin. If you have the Emerald Isle in your blood, hey... ¡Salud!, god bless and knock yourself out. My problem with St.Patrick's is that I inevitably find myself wincing at the sight of Ken & Barbie McYuppyfucker drunkenly roaming around Little Five or Midtown decked out in their stupid little green hats and drawl-slurring some god awful brogue they channeled off of old Lucky Charms commercials. Times that by a thousand and it's fucking Green Hell on Earth for me. I don't know, I guess as a German-Italian American I wouldn't be too thrilled if every Columbus Day I was exposed to an army of assholes getting publically shit-faced and going "Mama Mia! Thassa spicy meatball!" at the top of their lungs. I have no idea what day the German's get here to draw a rough equivalence too... Oktoberfest maybe? Anyway, I'll settle for watching John Wayne in The Quiet Man or blasting If I Should Fall From Grace with God off the stereo and leave it at that.

However, thanks much to angelout2killme, I've been able to psychically channel a one Father Jack Hackett of Craggy Island to see what words of wisdom he might share with us on this glorious sunny, St Patrick's...



Thank you, Father Jack and what would you say to a nice cuppa tea?

I think you might enjoy Little Five a little before Midnight on a Monday. The 'tourists' and gentrifiers are all in bed watching TV and you can hit the Star Bar for Rotknee's Karaoke Night.
