I should not and probably don't even want to ask this question, but I can't resist a good pun. Or even a bad one, which may be more applicable in this case.

Is there an anti-St. Patrick's Day in which Erin Goes Braghless?

Not this Erin.

But, I have seen a St. Patrick t-shirt or two requesting it... uh, not any specific Erin, just that idea.

Interestingly enough, Erin Go Bragh isn't an Irish phrase. Neither Erin, nor Bragh is Irish. There is some discussion on the internet whether the phrase is anglicized Irish, or an application of a Scottish phrase- Either way it happened here in the U.S. and the Irish don't get why we say it.

So what you're saying is that my pun wasn't even original. Got it.

Well, I am an rabid follower of St. Patrick's. To me, it's more important than my birthday. I might be a touch over-the-top regarding things green about wee folk, and the whole "Erin go Bragh" phrase. The t-shirt I saw wasn't in Utah.

So you might be the first to pun it in Utah, or even on the internet, or on a blog. See, Master Fob you are original all over the place. And, I've never seen a request for Anti-St. Patrick's Day.

Correction, I had never seen an Anti-St. Patrick's day request, until Th.'s blog.

Um. Sorry, but I made that bad pun two years ago when you were still living in Provo. Mine wasn't as cohesive, though, so I give full marks to master fob.
For future reference, if there's a bad pun to be made, I've probably already been there and tired people with it. Poor Dodgers... Maybe that's why he keeps pinching me today. Pun-ishment.

Oops. Sorry for that too, I guess.
