Still at Desmond’s Tavern, Saint Patrick’s Day….
Grabbed a friend, of a friend, of a friend Matt, who was still celebrating a long day of drinking and wearing green (in his case a green tie). We were interupted quite a few times by a nice girl who was being very, um, Irish. I only bothered to write down a few of her outburst, btu imagine hearing something random every few lines and you won’t miss out on the experience.
Mr. Matt, pretending to be shy.
Matt: I refuse to answer any incriminating questions. I also want to look in the mirror the whole time (he looks across to himself and smiles). Do you know short hand?
Bar Fly: My own version. What time did you start drinking?
Matt:: After I completed a full term of work, approximately 6:30. (Suuuure) Geez.
Bar Fly: What are you drinking?
Matt: The finest barley and hops of all time. (Coors Light, I think not). I never lie.
Bar Fly: Like George Washington. (Matt looks puzzled). “I chopped down the cherry tree. I cannot tell a lie.”
Matt: Who hasn’t chopped down a cherry tree?
Bar Fly: Who’d you come with?
Matt: Your friends!
Bar Fly: True.
Matt: Bob, Jim, Sally.
Bar Fly: Liar. Are you Irish?
Matt: Yes.
Bar Fly: How Irish are you?
Matt: I’m not sure how to answer that.
*Drunk girl says*: I’m Fifty Percent!
Matt: Unknown.
Bar Fly: Are you just Irish today?
Matt:Is my beard this red everyday?
Bar Fly: Is it red? Anyhow, what’s your drink of choice.
Matt: Everclear.
*Drunk girl says*: Captain and Ginger. (OK?)
Matt: Can I retract that statement?
Bar Fly: Um, no. What’s your real drink of choice?
Matt: Water with slice of lemon.
Bar Fly: Are you shy?
Matt: Extremely.
I wouldn’t trust a word this Matt character said, but he was quite funny. Another good interview on Saint Patty’s… if I do say so myself.
