Happy St. Patrick's Sunday!

• On my email, a sidebar frequently pops up with Stuart Smalley's picture.   I don't know why.
• On one of the electronic dating services, the woman's hobbies/likes ran together forming the unlikely: "I'd like to get my pilot's license Horseback riding"
• She might: a) Be the first, b) Be a truly inspired Steampunk inventor, or c) Really dig Pegasus.
• From a company website offering cool wooden ceilings:

Bob Villa?

• Is he Pancho's grandson?
• Bob Vila, formerly of This Old House, with many cameo appearances on Home Improvement, bears a strong resemblance to Bobvilla. 
• A friend emailed the following video clip, stating that it was from a surprising source:

• I emailed him back, noting that it was refreshing, but not shocking, as my first recollection of hearing the term "The Second Amendment ain't about duck hunting!" was from a Roy Innis essay or broadcast nearly 20 years ago.  I don't think I can give this message any better than this video.
• BTW, I checked to make sure this was a recent press conference.  It's from February 22, 2013.
• Wanna fly into the cuckoo's nest?
• If that entire structure was originally an insane asylum - that's a lot of crazy people.
• This weekend's services noted that contemporary society has a strange way of celebrating St. Patrick, who brought Christianity to the Emerald Isle.  Later, at Wally World, I saw these t-shirts:

Your mother would be so proud if you wore this... 

• Everyone knows that finding the gold requires a combination of green beer, crack, and the magic leprechaun flute.
• I think there were four employees running the entire store, at 9:30p on a Saturday - a woman by the sporting goods counter/key machine had been waiting 15 minutes for an associate.
• As well, Mother Hubbard's ammo cupboard was bare:

• 'S okay - I can roll my own.
• My church band sometimes performs secular songs.
• They recently did this one (also featured on SNL last night):

• Todd the Dog Blogger has a very eloquent post about closure following trauma, in this case divorce:  It was 3 years ago today that she left me and I still have a hard time believing it sometime. I am having a hard time right now just writing her name. I don't want her back but I miss her every day. I also don't need anybody's comments. I just need to say goodbye. It is not what I want to do. It never was. Goodbye Rhonda.
• I understand completely, and although I sometimes [outwardly] reference the poignancy of Thank God and Greyhound, I agree there's not a day I don't miss her, my best friend, frequently think of things I would've done differently, and occasionally wonder if anything else would've resulted in a different outcome.
• For those of you in relationships - I pray you take the time to express your appreciation of your spouse/significant other.
