\"leprechan\" With over a foot of new snow out my window, it sure doesn’t look like St. Patrick’s Day here in Schenectady, New York. The lead story in our local newspaper has the headline “Wearin’ o’ the white stuff” (Daily Gazette<\/a><\/em>, March 17, 2007; $ubscript.) A few miles down NY Rt. 5, the 57th Annual Albany St. Patrick’s Parade has been postponed until next Saturday (see CapitalNews9<\/a><\/em>), due to this March-maddening snow storm<\/a>. So, what’s a poor Itali-Sicilio-American boy to do? Reminisce about weblog St. Paddy’s Days past, of course.<\/p>\n

In the post feelin’ a little irish<\/a> (March 17, 2005), we shared a few poems by Pamela Miller Ness, Kobayashi Issa (famous Irish poet), and dagosan. For example:<\/p>\n

\"shamrocksSN\" Then, there was March 16, 2006, when we indulged Ed Markowski\u2019s desire to inject a little more reality into the st. paddy\u2019s day festivities\u2026\u201d E.g,:<\/p>\n

And, who can forget our post<\/a> from March 16, 2006, featuring the adorable Irish Setter Puppy from Metroland<\/a><\/em> (“The [NY] Capital Region’s Alternative Weekly Newspaper”):<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"EBustovich\"<\/font> larger <\/a><\/span> <\/font>F<\/strong><\/em>inally, we admit to neglecting our Inadvertent Searchee<\/a> study of errant search engine queries for almost a year now. But, we couldn’t help but notice that a Google Search for erin go bra meaning<\/a>> brought a Buscador in Spain to f\/k\/a<\/em> this morning. You see, thanks to the continuing fickleness of the logarithms of cyber-search, our September 2005 posting about a law firm webphoto of superstar paralegal Erin Brockovich — too much disclosure (erin go bra!)<\/a> — is the #1 result for the erin go bra<\/em> query. Indeed, if you scroll down the post, you can even find a definition, which was included to help any searcher who found himself inadvertently at f\/k\/a<\/em>.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
