St. Patrick's Day SpecPatular, Again


I posted this last year too. Lazy, lazy. But wouldn't this make a fine novelty placemat for your Irish pub?

And here, I'll make this educational, if only tangentially.
In 1963, General Mills vice president John Holahan inventively discovered that Circus Peanuts shavings yielded a tasty enhancement to his breakfast cereal. General Mills formalized the innovation and created Lucky Charms, the first breakfast cereal to contain marshmallow bits (or "marbits"). -Wikipedia

My son an English Teacher in Japan works part-time in an Irish Pub in Nishinomiya, (Osaka) run by a very crazy but super fun Irishmen who came by way of Australia. . . Everyone is Irish for a day.
