Why this must be read: It’s a lovely story of St. Patrick’s Day in the old country. Or Paddy’s Day as it’s called in Ireland.

Which is where Blair is living in the “Irish Saga” series, of which this story is a part. He’s moved there after TSbyBS, and Jim finally follows him some years later. But Paddy’s Day is quite a bit different from the way it’s celebrated in America, as Blair finds out:


Blair had always found St. Patrick’s Day to be a bit of an anti-climax since he’d moved to Ireland. The green beer that’d prevailed in Cascade’s Irish theme pubs, as well as the atonal renderings of ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘The Unicorn Song’, were entirely absent in this part of the world. In fact, he’d never actually met anyone in Ireland who even knew ‘The Unicorn Song’, thoroughly un-Irish adoptee in Irish-American culture as the ditty had turned out to be.




Still, his inner anthropologist longs for a taste of the true culture of his adopted land. So, he drags Jim down to a local bar in search of the real thing. Enjoy.
