Belated St. Patrick's Day
Ah, St. Patrick's day. A day where even those completely lacking in Irish ancestory can share in the spirit of Ireland and the magic of drinking whiskey all night and not being hung over come morning. Or maybe I'm just lucky. Speaking of the luck of the non-Irish and in belated honor of St. Patrick's Day, I give you 6 reasons why the Irish are the unluckiest bastards on earth .
Also, I suggest that all good people should at least attempt to pick up Round Ireland With a Fridge , for a look at why Ireland is the most awesome nation on the planet. It's travel essay, the tale of one man and his mini-fridge hitchhiking around Ireland, and it's hilarious. To borrow from the book itself, it's a pointless book, but a damn fine one and somewhat unsurprisingly it won't do much to help you plan your next vacation.It's all about the journey, the people he meets, the nomadic human spirit and quest for freedom as represented by a fridge.
Also the fridge surfs. Off you go.
