Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everybody

I know, I know. You’re thinking that I’m not exactly the type to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day very much. And I guess you’re right– I’m not a big fan of green beer, wearing green on this momentous occasion, or even faking an Irish accent for an entire day. But when the President himself says that he might be part Irish, I think it’s time to re-assess the true importance of today.

That’s right, I’ve got one word: leprechauns. And lest you think that I’m talking about a mythical character that stayed in our minds thanks to Lucky Charms, I’m not. No dear friends, I’m talking about real leprechauns, like that which was spotted in Alabama. So let’s take some time to look at this old video and remember that leprechauns are everywhere. Especially in Alabama. They’ve even got an amateur sketch to prove it.

Erin go Braugh! (Don’t ask me what it means because I have no clue; I’m hoping it’s just a celebratory cheer.)

You gotta have guts

I know many times when I was younger I would never tell a girl that I liked her because I was too shy. Just didn’t have the guts to say, “Hi. I like you.”

(But then again, when the 11 year old coming up to you has allergy attacks, thick nerd glasses, and dressed badly enough to make Urkel look smooth, it probably wouldn’t have done much good.)

And then there’s Victoria Lucas: she asked Barack Obama to dance.

Talk about guts. The entire story itself is pretty cute, especially where she tries to compare Obama to the boys at school (“There is no comparison whatsoever,” she said), and what she thought of his dance moves.
