17th March.

Ladies & Men, the day is upon us.
The day that St. Patrick decreed (on his deathbed!) that every man, woman, child (and larger breeds of dog) should go forth, to their nearest pub, and drink their weight in a black liquid, henceforth to be known as Guinness (Gaelic for 'Blood of St. Patrick!)

I may be back tomorrow.
I may not.
You know the drill, don't let HIM down!

Replicas of St. Patrick's shoes.

A church he built on a mad weekend in NYC!
A mountain he made. (Out of a molehill!)

Recently found fossilised remains of 'Yer Man'!

Lovely shot of Mick & Mary, (Patrick's Da and Stepmother.)
Himself watchin' a snake orgy, alas no more in Ireland!
Typical gay St. Patrick's Day party.

  1. It's the day to avoid 5th Avenue if you can at all help it. It's amateur hour in the drunk tank! A big Happy St. Paddy's to you, sir.

  4. Happy St. Paddy's Day to you, Map! No green beer (or black, for that matter) for this girl. You can have my share! We do, however, have a snake orgy just north of here every spring... ;-) xoxoxo

  9. Funny stuff, Map. I was under the impression, though, that St. Patrick drove the gorillas out of Norway.

    Have a few dozen for me, will ya? I'm woefully behind.
