My goodness my Guinness
Yes yes it’s that wonderful day ‘o green today. I’m part Irish (or so I remember being told at one point in my life) so on with the Irish jokes and links to today’s day ‘o green fun!
Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O’Leary’s apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table . Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing standing up. Michael O’Conner looks around and asks, “Oh, me boys, someone got’s to tell Paddy’s wife. Who will it be?” They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet be gentle, don’t make a bad situation any worse. “Discreet??? I’m the most discreet Irishman you’ll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name. Leave it to me.”
Gallagher goes over to Murphy’s house and knocks on the door. Mrs. Murphy answers and asks what he wants. Gallagher declares:
“Your husband just lost $500 and is afraid to come home.”
“Tell him to drop dead!”, says Murphy’s wife.
“I’ll go tell him.” says Gallagher
Cheers to my friend from Michigan spending this day in Ireland across the street from the Guinness factory.
Ides of March
I just want to shout “Beware the Ides of March!” nonstop today. Why? I think it’s funny to scare people. After all, isn’t it funny to think someone [Julius Caesar] was assassinated 2050 years ago today and because of that you can say silly nonsensical babble? I donno…maybe I’m just weird.
p.s. Don’t forget to say “Et tu Brute?” at least once today…just for me.

This didn’t work so well for me today. Instead of sending a 4000 page job to the copy shop we’re trying to print it in-house…using every printer in the office. Two printers are broke down, and we are running out of time. Of course, we could still take it to the copy shop and get it printed in the same amount of time it will take for us to print it here…but no one wants to listen to me.
I would say I’m not too persuasive today.
“One of your many specialties is the delicate art of persuasion. You can talk just about anyone into just about anything — the only prerequisite is that they’re still breathing. So now, when you’re feeling the need to communicate something important to someone equally as important, there’s really no way for you to fail. Unless, of course, they leave the vicinity — or can hold their breath for a very long time.”

Dog pee
Why can’t my roommate…
- keep the rags in a bucket…that he used to clean up dog pee -instead of the bathroom sink?
- wash the rags he used to clean up dog pee…within 2 days -instead of 2 weeks?
- vacuum the carpet after using baking soda carpet fresh to soak up extra dog pee…within 2 days -instead of 4 weeks?
- pay more attention to his dog…so it won’t pee on the floor -every 2 days?

I drink soda
Soda. Pop. Whatever you call it, I drink it. I had cut out pop (as I call it) almost completely, even when going to the bar. I only drank it on a rare occasion and always caffeine free (Sprite, 7-Up, etc). I switched to water, milk and juice.
I switched back late last year and I have trouble switching back to water. Whenever I get food I get pop now. It’s terrible. I can’t resist the temptation of sweet carbonated beverages.
At lunch today I had a 32oz Dr. Pepper…it was so good. I want to stop at the store and get a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper on the way home.
Damn it.
