you all just like to invent a reason to drink..
"Oi mates, let's go get a pint"
"sure, an what will we drink to?"
"Well, didn't you know it's garbage day"
"Oh, I didn't know it was a holiday"
"of course it is, it's a day of celebrating the cleaning of our cities. A great time of symbolicly cleaning our world and restoring it to her former beauty"
"I see, but isn't that every monday we have garbage day?"
"Why yes, and there in lies the beauty lad.. now every monday you have a reason to grab a pint"

moo

Time for the stupid United Statesian to chime in and ask why I should care about St. George.

Post by **PaulH** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 7:38 pm

He is the Patron Saint of England and the 23rd is his memorial day.

So if you are not English I doubt it means much to you.

Probably more likely to be as in:

Hey baby I hear the blues a'callin'
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
And maybe I seem a bit confused
Well, maybe, but I got you pegged
But I don't know what to do with those
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
They're callin' again

Tossed salads indeed!

Aaah, good night Seattle! Or something.
