St-Patrick’s parade is coming to town

A quick note, to remind everyone that the St-Patrick’s day parade is hitting Montreal this Sunday the 14th of March.

Bring out the Irish in you, sport green clothing and enjoy your Guinness and your Irish car-bombs.

If you want serious journalism, read what the Mirror has to say about St-Patties. I did just that, and I realized for the first time where the name “Irish car bomb” comes from, and it’s kind of wrong, at least for people that have witnessed the violence in Ireland. But I guess this is a recurrent event: a name that starts with a quite dubious origin, but with time and history evolves in something more and everyone forgets it’s unpleasant origins. And there will be a lot of forgetting being done Sunday, especially after a few of these Irish car-bombs are consumed.

Talking about Guinness here are two cool ads. I prefer the first one, because it isn’t made with computer effects.
