St. Paddy O’ Suck It
Good Hangover Day to you all!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, you want me to stop shouting? HA!
I was totally sober and watched the worst movie of all time on St. Patrick’s Day, “Idiocracy.” Even though Mike Judge made it, it was so bad that friends have decided I am forbidden to pick movies ever again and I agreed.
A reviewer says it was just as good as “Office Space.” He LIED. It was supposed to be a biting satire on the future and sure, it was, without the biting and in a totally obvious non-snarky annoying blatant way. It was a one-trick pony that just wouldn’t stop for 84 minutes.
I stayed in because I just didn’t feel up to the whole messy crowd thing and usually St. Patrick’s Day has traditionally been an impromptu high school reunion for me. This is not a good thing. I already talk to the people I want to from high school and I don’t want to meet the rest when I’m dancing on a bar table to “My Humps.”
That’s just uncomfortable for us all.
So I stayed in, even though I’m supposed to be a bit Irish. My sister and I found this out about two years ago when we realized that my grandmother was a redhead named Helen Patricia Moore who went by Patty as a kid and her siblings names things like Danny and other various Irishy things. We asked her, and she’s all “Of course we’re Irish” and then she stared into my soul for a while to determine why I needed to know such private information.
But. Who fucking knew, Grandma? No one shares this kind of thing with anyone in our family!
As far as Lindy and I were ever told, we were planted here by magical fairy princess witch gypsies.

Oh well. At least you *have* Irish blood.
Joe tells me that I am “Irish by Injection”.
You would never know my kids *had* German and Lithuanian blood. Joe says they are ALL Irish!
He has also informed me that he had justifiable grounds for divorce ever since I told him that my Gram had traced the family tree and we could go all the way back to King William…yep. Of Orange. Justifiable.

I think it would be quite fun to watch you get all liquored up and dance to “My humps.” In fact, I think I’d PAY to see that.

I thought it was hilariously awful… but whoever favorably compared it to the eternal, guffaw-inducing genius that was Office Space should be bitchslapped.

I’m actually in line for the British crown, thanks to some duke who couldn’t keep his pants on. Of course there would have to be a serious massacre and half the country would have to die before I ascended to the throne… I’m that far back. I think William will be better. I didn’t grow up with the funny hats.

We watched that horrible movie too. Boy picked it out. I fell alsleep after about 5 minutes. I hated it. Now about the family tree, don’t forget the Egyptian Princesses.
