Good AM/PM Everyone! I am happy for the pinch of Irish in my blood so I can celebrate with gusto! (of course that little bit of Irish is always fighting with the nearly quarter English!) Nice to have St. Patty's Day fall on a Saturday.

Aye, yes! The annual drinkin' 'o the booze! When merry makin' turns to thoughts 'o just gettin' plastered. When anything green, includin' yur gills, is quite ahright, lassies an' lads. When the constables be gettin' more business then they canna handle, and hospitals be needin' dooble staffs. Or, in the words 'o me momma 'o blessed memory, the best day fer stayin' home and lettin' the amatures do what they want. ***** In news on the front page, bull sharks doing what they normally do - tasting anything in the water that looks like it might be food. Interestingly, I didn't know that the human body contained a Canaveral National Seashore. P.S., I've been in those waters. I've seen enough jellyfish swimming around there, that I was very glad that I was wearing the proper protective gear - pantyhose, everywhere. Also on the front page, Southern Miss represented at last nights game. Go Miss! Go Miss! Go back to where you came from, idiots. Good day, everyone.

KCRes - Now you know what Memphis put up with every year, year in, year out. My heritage? Half Irish, half German. 2 flat out drinking cultures, no designated drivers. St Paddy's and New Year's - the 2 times the rookies come out.

My 2 surnames are Flynn and Brewer. Get more Irish or German... LOL You know most folks have no idea what Guy Fawkes day is even in Britian. A really interesting story though.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, :) Rule Britannia, baby! P.S. Guy Fawkes Day is observed on November 5 (duh) and is a commemoration of the events of that date in 1605, when Fawkes and his comrades were engaged in a conspiracy to blow up the houses of Parliament and overthrow the King.
Gunpowder, treason, and plot;
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Good morning all. How's things? German and Irish. So you have the urge to rule the world, after you finish some dreary poem? In the interest of fool disclosure, 1/2 German .25 British, .25 Sweetish. So I must be inbred to some royalty somewhere. Now if only I could find my crown.

This explains why I'm always spilling my drink in my lap. My fly is sex-starved... The US study, posted online in the journal Science, found fruit flies apparently self-medicate just like humans do, drowning their sorrows or frustrations in alcohol for some of the same reasons To test the relationship between stress and alcohol in fruit flies, researchers at the University of California in San Francisco allowed one group of male flies to mate freely with available virgin females. (No wonder they were frustrated. Virgins are rarely "available", that's why they're virgins.)
Sex-starved flies 'turn to drink'. When spurned by a mate, male fruit flies will turn to drink, new study has found.

Mornin' All---Aft. Elrond Elrond---How did Elrondette do last weekend at the Crossroads? And now for a little cat story. "Police: Man ties his cat to a rock after feline refuses to go jogging" LAFAYETTE, Colo. -- Police in Lafayette, Colo., have ticketed a man who is accused of tying his cat to a rock after the feline refused to go jogging.
Franco was ticketed on suspicion of "domestic animal cruel treatment," a municipal offense.
Sgt. Fred Palmer says 19-year-old Seth Franco brought his cat on a leash to the path around Waneka Lake Park on Wednesday, but the cat was unable to keep up.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera witnesses told police that Franco secured the cat's leash to a rock while he finished his run. A passer-by called police.
Palmer says an ordinance in the city, about 20 miles north of Denver, "prohibits that kind of tethering."
The cat wasn't injured, so it was released to its owner.
Franco could not immediately be reached for comment.

Folks, its getting close to 5 p.m. and I'm inching towards the office door. I think its about to beer. Daring to be different, I hear a Castle Milk Stout calling my name.

When we were staioned in England back in the late 50s, we joined our neighbors celebrating Guy Fawkes Day with fireworks and a bonfire. A little chillier than our July 4th.

"KCRes - Now you know what Memphis put up with every year, year in, year out." Golfer, Memphis put up with the same vein of abuse as that every year? That just turns my stomach. As for Seth Franco: leaving a domestic cat, which uses climbing as one of its primary defense and escape tactics, tied to a rock, is an idiotic thing to do. Seth, you deserve the ticket. You also deserve a "Here's your sign" for believing that your cat would go jogging with you. Cats may walk along side you, but not WITH you. Jogging? Jogging?! For what? So that YOU could get some exercise? Forget it!! They're cats!
Posted by: KCResident (Crazy Cat Guy) | Friday, March 16, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Yes KCRes, every year until 2013 when Memphis moves to the Big East. There are 4 of CUSA that I believe are going to the Mountain West or Big Sky conference around that time too. And some of the others have been invited to join other conferences around that time too, so I suspect after the 2012/2013 season, Conference USA (CUSA) may just fade away. Not sure where Southern Miss is going.

Golf---I'm gonna guess that some 'Cat fans have a suggestion. Rhonda---Your Shockers disappointed me yesterday. Of course so did UNLV.
Posted by: cripjak | Friday, March 16, 2012 at 01:07 PM
The Shockers....gave my wife one and she liked it. BEAUTIFUL day down here at the lake of the ozarks...enjoying my bacon double cheeseburger and tots. Every have a safe Paddy's weekend. I'm 100% auf deutsch so I just drink whenever.
Posted by: 1X | Friday, March 16, 2012 at 01:36 PM
1X---T.M.I. Rhonda---I had them in my main bracket going to the 16 just like UNLV. It's a cut but not a hemorrhage. Oh well. I would've loved to see the 'Cuse get beat but UNC-Ashville got hosed. Now the head of officials comes out and admits the refs blew the 2 calls. Doubt if that will mske them feel better since there are no do overs.
Posted by: cripjak | Friday, March 16, 2012 at 02:15 PM
Well, I will be doing some golf and traveling during, so thanks crip!! I am about to call it a day and go kill 45 minutes at the bus stop. LOL Well, maybe another 10 to 15.....
Posted by: The Golfer | Friday, March 16, 2012 at 03:57 PM
Hey folks, I am heading out for vacation. I will attempt to get on next week but if I get a better offer...... LOL Be good, Happy St. Paddy's Day.

"Bo de bo de bop! Biddy bop! Biddy bop! I-I-I-I-I ain't got no bo-o-o-o-ody!" sang the skeleton head. I just like the song!!
Good day, everyone. Go easy on the beer. Remember, the person next to you always looks better through the bottom of the beer glass!

Some fun facts while you have nothing better to do... After Missouri's fall, for a brief couple of hours, there were two perfect brackets out of 6.45 million on ESPN.com. Then St. Louis upset Memphis, and no one has a perfect bracket. (So at least ONE team from MO knows how to win a friggin' tourney game!) Norfolk St. shot 53% 3-pointers yesterday, for the season they averaged 31%. Missouri is the first team in NCAA tournament history to make at least 10 3-pointers, shoot at least 50 percent from the field, commit fewer than 10 turnovers and lose the game.

O.M.G. My son's first day of spring break. He gets up at 8:00 and says "Dad, let's go for a walk." I says "Sounds like a good idea." Stupid me. 1 1/2 hours later, we finally get home. Up hills. Down hills. Across parks. Through the river and over the woods. Well, I guess that's one way to keep your promise to your dad's drs. to keep him walking.

Bon jour, mes chiens de crime de camarade! St. Patrick's Day, when most of the "Irish" aren't, but all the drunks are.
Posted by: Mad Keith Beyond Geezerdome | Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 10:57 AM
JJ---Mizzery and Duke were a bracket bloodbath for lots of people. I'm holdin' my own though. Would love to see the 'Cats take out the 'Cuse though. Not for my brackets, just 'cause. JJ here's another one for ya. The new NCAA graduation standards take effect next year. Schools have had 2-3 years to get ready. If they were in effect today, 13 schools that qualified this year wouldn't be there. Think U.Conn.
