russia and ireland, a tale of 2 countries.

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

that might sum up the russian situation if reuters is to be believed. they say THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY IS IN CRISIS over the crimean adventure. is this true? who knows but if it is true, the universe is unfolding as it should, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

newtons law also applies to the irish on st paddy's day. here are a few of the equal and opposite reactions to the irish celebration:

and a few more equal and opposite reactions:

and a few more irish yoga poses:

happy fucking st paddy's day. i love you sons of bitches.

Billy, my friend, love the Dickens, 'A Tale Of Two Cities' quote! Ironically, Eileen watched the ITV DVD last night - it's her all-time favourite Dickens book and film.

It's great to see how your average everyday Canadian lives, behaves and thoroughly enjoys themselves, especially in their leisure time. I hope that just because you're getting on in years, and just because you've quite the booze, this doesn't stop you from participating in these random acts of sanity and insanity! Enjoy the moment and _don't_ be camera shy! :-P

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Happy St Paddy's Day!

Peace,

Steve...

Ah, Billy, just spotted you with your head under the bonnet of your car. Nice one, mate! :-P

Is the girl on the toilet supposed to be Irish? If so, that's the brownest Irish thigh I've even seen.

Farmer Giles said...

Gorilla, my main man, were you ever into the Irish Rock Band, Thin Lizzy? Well, I guess that this beauty must've been related [in some way, shape or form] to their late, great bassist, Phil Lynott - RIP!

Moving quickly on, mate, what's your opinion on the world going 'bananas', my friend? :-P

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...

rumor has it the man with his head in the urinal is shane macgowan.

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, my friend, without a word of a lie, I spotted that bloke with his head in the urinal and was gonna comment that it was either a Shane look-a-like or the man himself!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...

could a doctor relieve him or an angel receive him in that position?

BBC said...

Hasn't the Russian economy been in a shambles for some time? Seems like a way of life with them.

The Irish sure do know how to have fun and on St. Pats day we all get to be Irish.

But I'm getting old and have to slow down so I just had two beers at the bar with my corned beef and cabbage dinner.

Then I returned to my cave for a fucking nap.

That Jameson's is powerful shit!

bill - russia has a shit load of natural resources and is reputed to have no debt so although things have slowed down you could argue that they're in a better position than most western economies.

and here's the most important thing:

THE RUSSIAN CITIZENS DO NOT FEEL THEY HAVE THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO UNFUNDED ENTITLEMENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, THEIR WELFARE STATE IS NOT OUT OF CONTROL.

all in all, i'd say their prospects are good.

BBC said...

I'm guessing that when we run out of resources that we will go after theirs, and yours.

billy pilgrim said...

you won't take ours, everyone hates the keystone pipeline that would send it to you. it looks like that oil will be going to china or eastern canada.

you might need our natural gas once your fracking frenzy stops.

BBC said...

Don't take any bets on anything, our leaders are fucking insane.

harry said...

They're not only insane they're bloodthirsty.

BBC said...

We export more natural gas than we use.

Mr. Shife said...

If I had a dollar for every time I've done an Irish yoga pose … well then I would have a lot of dollars. Hope all is well BP and thanks for the laughs.

billy pilgrim said...

bill - yeah, there's money to made in the lng tankers and pipelines.

mr shife - glad you liked the drunken irishmen. that's my mission statement, enjoy the moment.

harry - all normal humans are bloodthirsty.

harry said...

Must be miserable to be normal.

billy pilgrim said...

these pretzels are making me thirsty.

BBC said...

There must be a song about that.

billy pilgrim said...

kramer on seinfeld.

BBC said...

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS???

billy pilgrim said...

i think it's a piece of shit. all these things have more loop holes than a giant chunk of swiss cheese but who i gives a shit. it's the way of the world and we're not going to change it.

big changes in the pilgrim's world, details to follow.

The guy in the white shirt on the bench is demonstrating my favorite yoga position. I usually do it late at night in front of the computer.

billy pilgrim said...

i think i would have been the guy with his head on the steps. stagger home, then collapse face first.

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, my friend, far from being proud of my long-gone and long-passed drinking days, if the truth were to be known, I'd have to say that I was, and could have been all of these characters and more!

Gotta admit that I _enjoy the moment_ more these days, if for no other reason that I can remember it! :-P

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day!

Take Care & Stay Fucky!

Peace,

Steve...
