St. Pat's Day 2006

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

You are all welcome to attend a gathering at my house on Saturday March 18 to celebrate St Patrick. You are more than welcome to arrive Friday and spend the weekend.

I just thought I'd throw this out there.

[Guest]

Aye and begorrah!

Sounds like a fine plan! Will there be whiskey and leprechauns?

Perhaps a fine Irish lass or two to help idle away the time?

Or will we be drivin' the snakes into the sea?

Any way you cut it it comes out delightful!

[Drunk Monk]

methinks the guest is a leprechaun... :-D

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

For the party, who wants bangers and who wants mash? I think I can get some oxtail soup, too.

[El Dingo]

Can you sneak us onto any sets?

Or at least take us out to the famous Robot Monster cave?

I volunteer to drive (to Greg's - after we arrive it's whisky and cigars till morning).

[Drunk Monk]

queen - quick! hide the mirrors!!!

[The Queen]

I even cleaned the bathroom for you. Might even clean it again before you arrive.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

If you get here before six on Friday before the party, I will take you to the sets of "Dreamgirls" and my god won't that be a thrill.

Or on Saturday I could drive you to some of the venerable sites of filmdom like the sixth street bridge, where every movie has to film or Vazquez rocks. Vazquez rocks is the site of many memorable Television episodes including the Star Trek episode where Kirk has to fight some alien and he makes a gun out of diamonds or something.

Yes, you will have to create a Limerick for the limerick contestant.

Yes, you will have to sing your favorite Irish folk song to hearken back to my days in Limerick when that was what you did at parties. If you do not have a favorite Irish folk song, one will be provided for you.

The debate still rages over whether you have to come dressed as your favorite historical irish character. I'm thinking I might come as Wolf Tone, but I also feel I would make a pretty good St. Patrick. Coming as Oliver Cromwell will be seen as an act of war.

[Drunk Monk]

...but my costume will only be on the inside.

Now I'm puzzling over a few things:

Why is the queen cleaning Greg's bathroom? Does Greg clean the Queen's bathroom?

Why is the queen cleaning Greg's bathroom so early? Does she think Greg will keep it clean for two months?

Why is the queen cleaning Greg's bathroom at all? Doesn't she remember what the Yeti did to Greg's bathroom after the Hulkburger unclogged his great meat binge? Dang, even the dogs were cringing...

[The Queen]

It's genetic -- my father was a clone of Felix Unger, and like Mr. Hyde, that need to scour everything in sight just pops out of me every once in a while, regardless of whether it's officially my responsibility or not.

Fortunately, I keep that side of me nice and lazily hidden most of the time, so that it doesn't inconvenience either one of us.

[Drunk Monk]

one more question: doesn't el dingo live in a movie set now?

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

You see, if you keep posting here, The Queen is going to think you are serious about coming to visit on St. Pat's day to sample the Brown Bread and Glenfiddich. I of course, know better, but the Queen might not understand your playful barbs and pretend plans. I've been in the Brotherhood. I know how the game is played. She might not take kindly to your absense at the Leprechaun races. So, play on MacDuff at your own peril.

The Party will be on the 18th of March. I'm watching Flaherty's "Man of Aran" for some party tips.

[El Dingo]

I've already asked for Friday and Monday off.

Am I driving?

I figure we want to leave by 10AM to arrive before traffic Hell.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Leave at 9, get her at 3. That's what I would do.

Do you want to stay here in the cat's room or at The Queen's apartment, also know as the Cat's apartment.

Did I mention Liar?

[Drunk Monk]

There's no way I can get the time off. Stacy works weekends and we got some bills to pay...
