Infinite MonkeysOh, great. I have to dig up some green. I may have some trousers that are actually pressed. Remember, though, it's amateur night. So be careful out there and "May you always have walls for the winds, A roof for the rain, Tea beside the fire, Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you, And all your heart may desire."
The whole world (more or less) is Irish-American today. Oh, and don't forget to raise a glass of Jameson's Powers Gold Label* to the memory St. Brendan, too.
* Powers Gold Label (TM) is the official Irish Whiskey (TM) of the Infinite Monkeys (TM). Please drink Powers moderately. Unlike RobbL (TM), who goes through a case (TM) a week.

Posted by: Monkey David at March 17, 2006 09:01 AMIs it ok to substitute Guinness for Jameson's??
Posted by: The Random Yak at March 17, 2006 02:17 PMHugh stole your story at the opening of his show. Said he'd been saying it for years... any bets on him reading right of your site?
Posted by: Jonathan at March 17, 2006 03:30 PMUh... never mind. I confused blogs. Sorry! Got it confused with something else I read, or maybe it's a little too much beer!

If you must. I do like Guinness -- chewy beer is good. But whiskey is better.

See what I mean? Amateur!
Posted by: H.L. Monkey at March 17, 2006 07:34 PMWhiskey is better than Guinness, but Jameson's is shite. Power's Gold Label is the Irishman's Irish Whiskey. That or Paddy. If you can't find one of those, then go with the Black Bush. Grocery store Jameson's and white label Bushmills are for emergencies only.
Also very good: Red Breast or Bushmill's Single Malt.
Posted by: Monkey RobbL at March 17, 2006 07:58 PMOh, and when you're drinking your Irish Whiskey, might I suggest popping in your DVD of The Quiet Man, a movie that's excellent when you're sober, and even better at the end of a St. Patty's Day bender.
"No patty-fingers, if you please!"

Posted by: the elder at March 18, 2006 07:08 PMOh and if anyone really cares, Hugh stole that joke from our blog. Don't blame us for his musical tastes though.
