ST. PATRICK’S DAY: SOBER AND WEIRD AGAIN
The finest version of “Danny Boy” ever recorded, again in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
What? You assumed we’d pull out the stops and actually play Danny Boy? Hell to the blar-NO stone, and with good reason: it’s morbid as hell like all Irish music not focused on the topics murder and alcohol, and even with cultural fatigue from decades of “fuck me I’m Irish” bullshit that has made Red Sox/Pats fans the hemorrhoid on the ass of professional sports culture, it makes us cry like a scalded baby.

OOC @ 35 - so far as my kids know, children’s programming only exists via On Demand in the middle of the afternoon, and live television only broadcasts college football and soccer.
So of course what they do is wait until my parents come to visit, and then claim that they are allowed to watch Show X, and count on grandparental indulgence to over-ride parental censorship.

And don’t forget, NewAZTiger, the other American Tradition…creating our own holidays as an excuse to have massive close-out sales (if we can’t get drunk, we’ll buy stuff, either way we spend money):
Columbus Day
Presidents Day
Memorial Day
Veterans Day

DC Trojan - You allow ANgelina Ballerina in your house? Sprout goes back to the History Channel after Jakers goes off- kids are either in bed or well on their way by then. I wonder how Tiddley, Dannon, and Fernie celebrated yesterday.

Some of you people don’t understand what American Tradition is.
The American Tradition is to take someone else’s tradition, bastardize it, and drink like snot on it.
St. Patty’s Day - Check.
Cinqo de Mayo - Check
Kwaanza - Check (so what if we had to make that up because Africa is too war-torn to have a good holiday to celebrate)
Mardi Gras - Check
College Football - Check (bastardized Rugby which was bastardized Soccer)

I never get those Christian dating service ads. Maybe because I’m north of the border and whatever it is that decides what ads to show just assumes I’m some kind of heathen.

TCOAN @ 21 - now it’s showing some middle aged male Christian bachelor… maybe the net needs to be cast wider?
Mandatory HPV vaccinations (odd that’s the first thing that came to mind…)
Civil Unions
Big Bang
Socialized health care
Open marriages
tax breaks for single mothers
Open borders
Immigration amnesty
Gay adoption
Perhaps that will make a difference…
