A-Tiddly, Diddle-Tee Dee!,

Ta-Dee, DeeDee, DEEE!,

As you lather up with Irish Spring and venture forth this evening, remember ye golden rule of cultural beer-sales-driven holidays: ONLY MEXICAN BARS AT ST PAT’S, ONLY IRISH PUBS AT CINCO DE MAYO. You know this. Repeat it to yourself eighty times before you walk out that door this evening. Once for each snake St. Patrick smote with a stick his first thirty metres.
Now then! On to the evening bar guide. Brief but effective. Look for the drunk, blurry leprechaun giving you the finger seal of approval for your best chance at a normal place to take the bite off another work week:

Me? I’ll be making a brief appearance at every single bar on this page. I’m Irish. Ta-Diddly-Dong-Dee! See you out there. Hire a driver.
I went to McMurphy’s in Pasadena once on St. Patty’s day and refused to pay their outrageous cover (what was it now….$20??). And that got you nothing…no cup, no drink specials, NOTHING. Just the honor of spending your hard earned green on some green beer. Um not thanks. And good luck with the running a business thing and making money. Top o’ the Morning to you arseholes.
This list is brilliant! And here I was thinking that I needed to avoid bars altogether on the drinking holidays. But why cut the nose to spite the face, or whatever the appropriate saying is here.
Any other day of the year O’Dickums is the place to be.
I’ll ta piss myself friendless in a dank embankment all unbeknownst before I sip a wee bit ‘o the creature at Red Garter, or anyplace else within walkin’ distance.
also, we’re hitting a place in the valley as tom bergins is now out of the plan. Springbok (south african) sports bar and grille on victory bl 1/2 west of woodley ave on the south end of the van nuys 3 par golf course.
No mention of Downtown L.A.? McCormick and Schmicks, Caseys, Cole’s, Weiland, Daily Grill, etc., lots of watering holes. BTW, the parade was today.
Short Ends: Eva Longoria Opens Mouth, Says Yet Another Stupid Thing
· Eva Longoria has apparently told Allure magazine that boyfriend Tony Parker has slept with only one other person in his life and that she’s the “teacher” in their relationship….
I ate lunch today with a friend of mine from high school. He was wearing an orange shirt and I cannot believe that I did not once point it out in all its ballsiness.
