ST. PADDY'S DAY FESTIVITIES

Well hello there my fine little Leprechauns!  A Happy St. Paddy's Day to you all!  How many of you are wearing GREEN today?  Let's have a show of "paws"...Neytiri has taken note of those NOT wearing green and I will personally be coming 'round to pinch theese ones.

It is a very exciting day at Headquarters!  The Assembly Line Elves are brewing Green Ale and doing Irish jigs. We are starting the festivities with socializing and some ice breaker games.  Theese is a nip-friendly event and guests are encouraged to have a little sniff and roll around to eliminate any "wallflower" tendencies and encourage participation in the activities and events.

Here is Neytiri with part of the crew.  She is "licking her chops" as she has just had her first taste of "ale".  "The Baby", Pierre Du Port and "Ducky" are all here to celebrate and will partake in the Lucky Irish Coin Toss, Spin The Mini-Mug, Charades (St. Paddy's Edition), Elvis Voice-Coaching Lessons and the Dance-a-thon (Jigs with a bit of Macarena thrown in).

Here is a close-up of "Ducky" who has taken up residence in a mini-mug of ale for the past 3 days...Uh, the poor little guy is going to be one hurting unit!  Good thing I can save him with my "Hair Of The Dog"...And Pierre has come to the event dressed as his favorite Irish Cowboy...

 Here is me with "The Baby".  He is "coaching" me to get serious and immerse myself into the character of Elvis so I can proceed with some voice lessons.  Notice the look of concentration I has goin' on...

 And our "Surprise" Event of the day is...The St. Paddy's Photobooth where you can have your picture taken with the Assembly Line Elf (ALE) above and even leave with a autographed copy.  We'z expecting theese one to be very popular and just want to advise guests that there may be wait times...

Now here I have not one, not two...but three mini-mugs of ale on the go at once...But don't worry folks, I made sure to eat lots of Num-Nums before I started to PAR-TAY, so I've given myself a good "base".  Trust me on theese one...(Uh, a reminder for guests to bring coins with them to our party as I charge for use of the "premises" (aka: biffy)... (Theese is another way that I top up my Num-Num Fund.) Uh sorry about that...

Before I leave to join the activities currently underway, I just want to make a toast to our dearly missed "Girlfriend" (pictured above)whose 12th Birthday would have been today on St. Paddy's Day.  I'm sure she's watching over the festivities from above...saying to herself, "Oh Dear!"...

So please join me in raising a mini-mug of ale to "Girlfriend"!
