St Patrick’s day

This Monday was St Patrick’s day…which is pretty much an excuse for everyone to get smashed and Guinness to make a fuck load of money. One thing that always entertains me is how all of sudden everyone some how has Irish roots.
Now Guinness is not easy to drink, it’s like blending up a Sunday roast and serving it in a pint glass. But it seems common practice now that if you manage to down 4 pints of the stuff, you’re rewarded with a cheap felt hat (see above picture) most likely made on mass in China. How very Irish.
We purchased our first 4 pints only to be told they had run out of hats. Apparently the 100’s that were stapled to the wall in order to dress the pub couldn’t be taken down. So i took it upon my self to steal a couple off the wall. Unfortunately some other people had the same idea and i lost out to bigger boys.
Gem insisted that she needed a hat to complete her first every…legal…St Patrick’s day. So i did what every good boyfriend would have done. I sat back down and finished my pint. Lucky for me a very jolly man with green face paint was handing out extra hats, Gem was every so slightly please when i returned hat in hand…i think she was drunk, but assured me otherwise. (i will get hurt when she reads this)
p.s, I’ve now actually made it onto the photo wall inside the pub…i think it’s time to visit another pub.

An old core friend of mine (David ‘Zaphod’ Marsh) is working on go kart racing game called Zero Gear. It’s shaping up to be a very pretty looking game. I can only hope that i get my grubby mitts on it soon to see if it plays as good as it looks and knowing Zaphod it will.

Recently my girlfriend sent me a youtube clip of a ventriloquist comedian called Jeff Dunham. His act consists of various different puppets in a stand up act. I strongly suggest you find a copy of his DVDs. One of the characters i recommend you check out on youtube is Peanut…who’s some kind of Alien thing who has a Jalapeno on a stick for a friend. I kid you not, some of the scenes with these guys had me in tears.
NNNeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww.
Jeff Dunham is quiet amazing in how he’s able to keep a joke going over 3-4 different characters at once, all the while making you believe these puppets are alive and not from a single voice.
As for Jeff Dunham himself, he’s a pretty good stand up comedian though this often seems to get overlooked because of the puppets. All in all i suggest you spend an hour or so on youtube looking up clips
