Creepy,yes, but I like it too.
This reminds me of the time my Auntie Sheila was in Cleveland, celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and her purse was snatched. When it was retrieved later that night all that remained in it was the "Kiss Me I'm Irish" button.

Dirty Old Town

In case you're wondering:
Shane MacGowan- the most infamous walking dental disaster area in rock history - plans to address the appalling state of his teeth.

"I am going to get my teeth done - emergency dentures to stop my face falling apart," he says.
"It's not painful but your bone structure is kept in by your teeth, so I might get some dentures in and leave it at that, or get them done gradually. "

St Patrick's Day changes for Holy Week but no one told me

The Issue with This Year's St. Patrick's Festivities

In 2008, March 17 falls on a Monday - but not just any Monday. It falls on the Monday of Holy Week, the days that follow up to Easter. Holy Week is meant to be a solemn week reserved for prayer and remembrance of the week leading to the death of Jesus - a deep contrast from the usual festivities associated with St. Patrick's Day.

It was Irish bishops of the Catholic tradition who wrote to the Pope asking on what would be done.

The decision? St. Patrick's Day in 2008 would not be celebrated on Monday the 17th during Holy Week, but on the Saturday before on Saturday the 15th. This is the first time in almost 100 years (since 1913) that St. Patrick's Day has not been celebrated on March 17th. It won't be until 2160 that this uncommon occurrence of date and festival clashes will occur again.

I thought for a minute that I'd missed it but the Irish pub around the corner is gearing up for all day festivities tomorrow.
