best abuse of the Paddy's Day effect evar

[waider]

So look, despite my annual PSA and what not I am generally not ill-disposed towards confused Am*r*c*n tourists looking for their ancestors and what not. But this evening in the pub, a local girl who is in fact Scottish was putting on a Texas accent and affecting a great deal of "I'm Irish" in order to put off some hapless drunken paddy. How I didn't fall off my barstool laughing I have no idea. Paddy O'Suitor was sufficiently drunk as to not notice when the accent dropped, either, causing further hilarity on my part.

Scottish with a Texas accent. That sounds priceless.

I can't do the Texas accent. I can fake southern belle if I have to, though.

*snort* "Well gee, I'm so Irish y'all . . . get yer fuckin' haunds aff ya drunken bampot."

As a statistical note, when I arrived at a certain pub tonight, there were four people out of about 60 who were wearing green Guinness hats and doing the St. Paddy thing. Everyone else was there to see a world pool champion strut his stuff, and possibly to play a frame against him. He totally kicked my ass, but the biggest compliment that he could have paid was that he went for a ruthless (and perfect) clearance instead of showboating against me.
