Naughty Leprechaun

"St. Patrick, the holy and tutular man

His beard down his bosom like Aaron’s ran

Some from Scotland, some from Wales, will declare that he came,

But I care not from whence now he’s risen to fame;

The pride of the world and his enemies scorning

I will drink to St. Patrick, today in the Morning!

      {-Traditional Irish Song}

Aside from wearing something extremely fashionable in green, I plan to celebrate this day by kicking back and watching the entire "Leprechaun"  franchise collection on DVD. I'm in disbelief why this movie or any of the others in the series weren't nominated for an Oscar. I found in particular Ice-T's performance in "Leprechaun In The Hood" outstanding. Check out the awesome trailer here. Also, I will be eating a handful of green M&Ms and one delicious mint square. I really don't want to but my sweet tooth is ordering me too.

What would a St. Patrick's Day entry be without posting a drinkie or two? Get your St. Patrick’s Day pride on with some green drinks! My lovelies, in honor of this day I present to you:
