leprechaun bingo recap

· 8 Comments

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! Thanks to the lovely people of Savannah, I had bingo before noon on St. Patrick’s Day.

Here are some highlights…

Luckily, this girl was inches away from some paramedics. (When we advised the paramedics of the fact that we were certain they would be carting off a fallen drunk fairly soon, they asked “Which one?”)

Now, I have to confess that the Mr and I left the St. Patrick’s Day celebration around 2:30 pm.m, because we were in Jacksonville until 8 a.m. that morning (the Mr’s aunt’s memorial service was Wednesday afternoon.) I feel certain that there was so much more to see throughout the day, and I’m sorry that we didn’t get it all.

However, I did get some ideas for next year’s game of Leprechaun Bingo, including…

Optimistic douchebags

Green fountains…

Also, this guy…

Take-my-picture guy’s friend, someone who has been growing a rat tail for two years (it’s dyed green, for St. Patrick’s Day, of course)…

One more thing I’ll have to add to the bingo card: someone you know, because even in a city far far away from my home, I ran into my cousin in the middle of the parade.

Here are some photos of folks playing Leprechaun Bingo elsewhere in the world:

The lady of Flynnsight (twitter handle @flynnsight)

The always hilarious VerbVixen (twitter handle @verbvixen)

And poor hateyouprobably, who had to work all day, but sent this as her entry for “guy not wearing any green” (twitter handle @hateyouprobably)

It’s not too late to send your Leprechaun Bingo photos; they’ll be celebrating in Savannah all weekend long. If you have pics to share, e-mail or tweet me, and I’ll add them to the post.

leprechaun bingo

I don’t know if you know this about me, but I live in Savannah. And I don’t know if you know this about Savannah, but it hosts the second largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the country. I’ve been told that, every year, residents and tourists gather to commemorate this parade with drinking, drinking and more drinking. (I’ve heard there are some floats and horses, too).

The Mr and I have decided to spend St. Patrick’s Day downtown, watching the parade and–more importantly–watching the people.

Because I am more competitive than I should be and because I happened to have a lot of time on my hands, I decided that the Mr and I should make a game of our people watching.

So tomorrow, we will be playing a game I’ve decided to call “Leprechaun Bingo”. We will keep track of our people sightings on the card below. I tried to think of some of the best things I have seen in years past on St. Patrick’s Day as well as somethings I’d like to see tomorrow.

I’ll let you know who wins.

Feel free to join us. (The drawing above has actually been reduced in size to fit the frame of this post, but if you save it to your desktop, you should get an image the size of an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper.)
