Before we get to the
important part we'd just like to explain this year's themed prop you
will see in the pictures...

Yep, it's the famed and treasured "Pot 'O Gold" from Irish legend...
uh, kinda. To be truthful, it all started during last year's St.
Patrick's Day celebration down on Greenville Avenue where all the
bars and clubs are. They throw a hell of a party starting with a
parade and then celebrate until the last last keg of green beer runs
dry. We were down there having a good time and minding most of our
own business when suddenly our three trouble makers you well know of
as Skippy, Moriarty and Ohshee came excitedly staggering up to us
and babbling something about tricking a leprechaun out of his
fabled Pot 'O Gold. On closer and sober inspection it turned out to
be more the Skillet 'O Aluminum with a bit of gold paint on it. When
we asked the boys where they got it, they swore it was from a
leprechaun they spotted just outside a bar called the "Sham - Rock-
N - Roll". Not believing the guys, we went around the corner to find
out that the leprechaun they had assaulted was actually little 10
year old Billy O'Kelly dressed in a leprechaun suit his Mom had made
him. In fact, as we walked up, he was tearfully telling his parents
about the three jerks (that wasn't actually the word he used... and
10 year old kids shouldn't be using that kind of language) who stole
his pot. We quickly apologized for our friends actions explaining
they were both drunk AND stupid and made restitution to the O'Kellys
by buying them the next several rounds at the bar and promising
Billy he would be receiving the entire set of Power Rangers action
figures. There goes our petty cash fund again. The O'Kellys were
nice enough not to press charges and Billy let us keep the Skillet
'O Aluminum. When we did ask his father why they would bring a 10
year old kid to a St. Pat's celebration and pub crawl he explained
that since he was too young to go into the bars to drink, he was
their Designated Driver.OK, that explains it all... and
NOW ... on with the pictures of our Babes for this St. Patrick's Day
