THe FReCKLeD FINGeR

    Today is March the 18th... which means yesterday was March the 17th, St. Patrick's Day.  My day.  I wait all year for this day and it is usually something I plan for weeks in advance.  Well, not this year.  I figured I would let the day take its course and considering I am very Irish and very much in love with what that stands for, it should work out nicely.  Here is a checklist of what my St. Patrick's Day consisted of, along with whether or not it is Irish:

EVENT                                                                                            IRISH? 

1.)  Waking up at noon because I don't work.                                                         Most likely.

2.)  Drawing cartoons because I enjoy it.                                                                 No, Irish are not talented.

3.)  Not going to the parade in NYC, but watching it on TV.                              Only very obese and or crippled Irish. 

4.)  Showering.                                                                                                                 Yes, but very seldom.

5.)  Going out to eat at a Mexican restaurant.                                                          Only by accident or to look for work.

6.)  Ordering a German beer.                                                                                        No.

7.)  Ordering a burger and chips at Mexican restaurant.                                     Yes.

8.)  Paying for bill with a credit card I cannot afford to pay off.                         Very.

9.)  Getting in a fight with the girlfriend because I make zero money.             Very. 

10.)  Leaving establishment with liquor license a sober person.                       No.

11.)  Crying in the bathroom because I realize I am pathetic.                              Yes.  Happens hourly.
