In honour of this um, holiday…I present something from the archives…from last year’s green-day event.
—–
So apparently I missed the memo. As I went into the cafe to get my cheezy eggs, two bacon’s and coffee this morning, I discovered that I couldn’t see what I was scooping from the egg tray because of this gaudy green boa draped across the sneeze guard. What’s up with that, I thought to myself…
Apparently today is some sort of holiday or something…many people seem to be wearing green. I am not. I am wearing jeans which are blue, and a button up shirt which is orange, blue, and white. It’s nowhere near green. You couldn’t even make green by blending the colours I’m wearing.
My socks aren’t green, nor are my shoes, and neither is my undershirt or underwear. Glasses, not green either. In fact, about the ONLY thing on me that I can find that is even vaguely close to green, is a little bit of tarnish on my earring.
But I don’t think that counts. But really, where were the announcements? I saw nothing on the news, there were no banners on the freeways. No announcement on the radio, no flyer in my mail box, and no spam about drinking green beer. Not one single advertisement for St. Patrick’s Day.
Oh wait, excuse me, it’s not St. Patrick’s day any more is it? That wouldn’t be politically correct to say St. Patrick’s day…..my apologies.
