Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lipograms is highly in favor of Saint Patrick.  Driving away slimy crawling animals is OK by us.  Not as fond of his symbolic color, obviously, but you can't always win.

Irish things Lipograms favors:

1. Stout
2. My Bloody [Inamorata]
3. Mulligatawny Soup
4. Pubs
5. U2
6. Hot Pot
7. That MacGowan guy and his bands
8. Shamrock malts from McDonald's

Irish things Lipograms could do without:

1. That bald O'Connor woman
2. Thin Lizzy
3. Oxtail Soup

Sort-of- or non-Irish things that this post brought to mind and almost got on our lists (which list for which thing?  I'm not saying):

1. Fish and chips
2. Corndogs
3. Haggis
4. Kilts
5. Twilight Sad 
6. Mondays

Holidays for Blogging

I was happy to find that many holidays I fancy most conform to this Blog's abdication of that particular symbol. To boot, I saw that symbols and things that accompany said holidays in my mind also adapt to our standards. How uncanny!
As particular illustrations:
(i) my birthday (along with icing, party hats, clowns, and balloons);
(ii) Gadsby's birthday (which is upcoming this month and at which icing, party hats, clowns, and balloons will also visit);
(iii) National Corndog Day (including hoops to watch and dogs, tots, and hops-drinks for consumption);
(iv) Christmas (along with carols, Santa, gifts, hot cocoa, and ho-ho-hos); and
(v) Saint Patrick's Day (plus hops-drinks with spinach coloring, shamrocks, and Irish traditions).

I could go on, but, alas, I must sign off.
Ta ta,
