A nod to Saint Patrick

It's that time of the year again. The time when everyone who has .01% or more of Irish blood in them acts like pigment worship is is the same as being proud of one's culture.
Yeah, it's Saint Patrick's Day.
Now, how can one sum up Saint Patrick's Day in a picture (since I already did it in words)?
Let's try this:

There, I couldn't have done it better myself!

Now for all you folks that never look at your calender. Don't forget to wear a piece of clothing with at least a little bit of green in it. Something low key like a pair of socks or a four leaf clover pin outta do it.

I guess that works too.

Let's not forget about the fine side of Saint Patrick's Day.

Yes, indeed! Green beer. The drink that no one actually wants but must accept since the bartender didn't offer normal beer that actually looks appetizing. Of course you are too polite to return it so you will justify it with yourself that you are simply in a festive "Irish" mood that day.

Probably the best thing about Saint Patrick's Day is...

...that little green leprechaun that comes around carrying that big pot of gold.

So maybe he is a little creepy and has a weird grin on his face no matter what the situation. And maybe you see him even when it's not St. Patrick's Day. And maybe the few times you have pointed him out you found out that no one else has that awesome ability to see into the 4th dimension and see the little bastard. All that doesn't matter dammit! Because on this day of the year (and this day only) he actually fits in with reality.


HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
