If it's not Irish, It's crap!!!

Did you notice that even Google was dressed up today?

All dressed up in our Irish Green, we girls headed to downtown Franklin for some green beer and taste o' the Irish. Yes, folks, i enjoyed the traditional pint o' Guiness (with the Shamrock drawn in the foam) tonight at the Mellow Mushroom.

Yes, I know. That's no Irish Pub! We had to wait there and have appetizers while we waited for a table at McCreary's. Whaddya do with a 2 1/2 hour wait? Ya walk down the street and have drinks and appetizers while flirting with the cute bartender in the Irish ballcap at the 'Shroom.

I even had an Irish Car Bomb. Shot o' Bailey's/Jameson dropped into a 1/2 pint o' Guiness and chugged before it turns into a Cement Mixer (which is totally YUCKY - got dared into drinkin one of those before I knew what it was once...). Not too shabby. The barkeep was impressed enough that one o' the female species could chug this one down to give me a Guiness Button, which I proudly wore on my right shoulder all night long and now hangs on my wall, just beneath the Samuel Smith towel (shhhhh, don't tell, that one's English).

Yes, indeed, we girls (Heather, Courtney and I) had an awesome time even waiting for a table outside McCreary's once we vacated the 'Shroom. There were a couple of cute and fun guys outside the pub that even tried to help these girls back into a small parking space with an SUV. It was quite amusing. The girls ended up driving off, even though they were totally in the parking space. Guess the fun guys scared 'em off.

Once in McCreary's, we partook of Irish music, dancing, good beer, funny conversation with this guy that kept hitting on all 3 of us, fish & chips, irish stew & soda bread, and the "No Morals" game (ask Heather about that). Indeed a GLORIOUS ST. PATTY'S DAY!!!

So, friends, I leave you with my toast this evening (raise your glasses)...

"IF IT'S NOT IRISH, IT'S CRAP!!!"
