erin go braugh? more like erin go take a nap…

Thursday, March 17th, 2005

so…I don’t think St. Patrick was all about productivity considering that his holiday is celebrated (at least by me) with a nice plate of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and turnips, all washed down with a couple of pints of Smithwick’s Irish Ale.
