Happy St. Patrick's Day! - 03-16-2010, 03:48 PM


For all you who are truly Irish, and those of you are Annual Irish, I have a Irish joke in the form of a photo for you.

The Irish have historically been lampooned for the alleged state of their mental agility, shall we say. Well, this photo seems to be all over the net as one more case in point. I cannot find its original source, otherwise I would make an appropriate credit. Perhaps it is from a surveillance camera.

The scene is outside the Royal Hospital in Belfast. The workers are cleaning up, having just finished installing bollards to prevent parking too close to the building. Most of it's posters wonder aloud how the truck will be moved...

European bollards are designed to be removable on demand.
I found this out after running one over with a Peugeot in France.

Not sure that was the type of removal demand they had in mind, Tom. :-D

We celebrate St. Patrick's Day every year by wishing my mom a happy birthday - she'll be 80 tomorrow and in good health. Talk about the luck of the Irish!

Well, congratulations to Lisa and your mom!

We'll be at Lochrann's in Frisco capturing all the action to go along with our photo's from the parade on Saturday and the Paddy Dash! Whew, its gonna be a long week!

Why does Ireland produce fewer lawyers? They can't seem to pass the bar. <jk> Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Bumpity O' bump bump.


Sparkle, sparkle little twink
Who the heck you are I think
I'm not under the alcolfluence of inkelhol
As some thinkle peep I am
And besides, I've only had tee martoonies
But I fool so feelish
Wondering be I who
That the drunker I sit here, the longer I get

Be careful out there!
