It wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without my annual Leprechauns in Mobile YouTube post. I know I post it every year, but I still think it’s funny. Especially the amateur sketch. Bwahaha! Did they get Joan Walsh Anglund to do that? (And does anyone else, besides my mom, get that reference? On one of the decor blogs I follow someone found a charming “vintage” book by Joan Walsh Anglund. And I’m pretty sure I had that same book as a kid. It’s awesome when things you had as a kid are considered retro and vintage. Uh, yeah. Ok, back to leprechauns in the ghetto…)
And the rap version-
And I realize as a mostly Irish girl I should be able to come up with a better St Pats post… Maybe one about how my aunt in Chicago always sent us St Pats cards with $1 to buy a green milkshake, or maybe how my dad’s mom would take them downtown to see the river dyed green. Or perhaps I could whip out some facts from the two Irish history classes I had at OU. Nah, too depressing. Or find a clip of The Quiet Man (I hate that movie, Chris loves it and makes me watch it every year) or Darby O’Gill. I think these videos are more fun.

After living in Chicago and seeing the river myself, I love the line from The Fugitive: “If they can dye the whole river green one day a year, why can’t they dye it blue the rest of the year?”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! WOW…I hadn’t seen your video before (I think I missed it last year). Are they frakking serious?? “This is an ancient leprechaun flute, passed down from my great-great-grandfather, who was Irish…”
WTF?? That was awesome…thanks for making my day!

I would love to get the backstory on this news clip. Did the news crew set this up as a joke? Because, damn it makes these people look ignorant. And I will refrain from saying any more, since I still have Alabama readers, lol!
