Roxy should call the doll SHAMEFUL O' Sh1thead! The very idea of having a wanton public display during the most solemn weeks on the Church calendar is utterly disgraceful. The Italians on the other hand, has wisdom to transfer the Feast of St. Joseph to the 15th. We ate our sfingi and zeppole BEFORE Holy Week began, thank you very much!
St. Joseph's day is a sacred and respectful celebration for a great saint who deserves veneration. St. Patricks day is just an excuse to get drunk and puke green.
For the Judy fans and everyone who's even just a little bit Irish:
"It's A Great Day for the Irish" Music and Lyric by Roger Edens
Oh, I woke me up this morning, and I heard a joyful song From the throats of happy Irishmen, a hundred-thousand strong. Shure, it was the Hibernian Brigade, Lining up for to start the big parade!
So I fetched me Sunday bonnet and the flag I love so well. And I bought meself a shamrock, just to wear in me lapel. Don't you know that today's March Seventeen? It's the day for the wearing of the green!
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair! The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney; For shure, you'd think New York was Old Killarney.
It's a great day for the shamrock, for the flags in full array. We're feeling so inspirish, Shure because for all the Irish, It's a great, great day.
Begosh and begorra, ev'ry Irish son and dorra, Ev'ry good old Irish name and his relation, They come from Tipperary, Donegal, and County Kerry, But they all are here to join this celebration:
Now, there's Terrence O'Toole and his cousin, Phil Doherty, Patrick O'Bogle and Mullin McGrew, Mike Maley, Tim Daley, and Barney O'Flagherty, Daniel Doolan and Shamus Carewe.
Conleys and Donleys and Padraic O'Bannigan, Ryans, O'Briens, McLaughlins, and Lynch, McGloans and McFaddens and Mister Pat Flannagan, Hogans and Glogans, McPhersons and Finch.
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair. Begosh, there's not a cop to start a'raiding, Begorra, all the cops are out parading!
It's a great day for the shamrock, for the flags in full array. And as we go a-swinging, ev'ry Irish heart is singing: It's a great, great day!
this morning on my way into work (about 8:30am) i saw a woman wearing a big foam leprechaun hat, drunk off her ass, pushing an empty wheelchair down the street.
i figure she was either planning on getting so drunk that she wouldnt be able to walk, or she was already so drunk that she lost whoever had been in the wheelchair.
