Happy St. Patty's! What a glorious day it is. A day when the irish of the world wear green, drink green, and pee green. A day to celebrate irish heritage which mainly means drinking lots of beer if you are irish. I will refrain from that side of the celebration. I will celebrate with a viewing of my favorite irish movie, The Boondock Saints. Happy St. Patty's Day to all ye irish.
"and shepherds we shall be for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, and we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be e nomine patri et fili spiritus sancti"

Minne-Sota
1983 Honda Magna 750=$1500
4 Tanks of Gas=$200
2 Rollercoaster Rides in a Mall=$8.60
4 guys, 1 truck, 3 states, 19 hours=PRICELESS
So, Sunday evening around 10 I decide to drive to Minne-sota to pick up my motorcycle. I ask around Mason City if anyone wants to go, but everyone had to work. Then, I call to Lincoln and ask cute Marc if he wants to go, his response absolutely. I arrive in Lincoln at 11 and continue my recruitment. I go to the Hole and Josh Miller and Pappy are down. We proceed to leave at 12 to go to Minnesota to pick up the motorcycle and go to the largest Mall man has ever seen, the Mall of America. They say that if you went to every store in the mall for ten minutes it would take you 86 hours. This mall is ginormous. Upon arriving in Minnesota, the guy who I bought the bike from was not home. We begin cruisin around St. Paul looking for a McDonalds to eat at. To our dismay, no McDonalds was ever found. Instead, we stumble upon Mickey's Diner in downtown St. Paul. Mickey's has been seen in the Mighty Duck films. At Mickey's, we had our first encounter with the Minnesotaian accent. Couple the accent with little to no sleep and you get a roaring good time when the waitress said, "eggs and toast" with the vowels lengthened to sound like tohst. All in all it was a great trip, great fun, great experience, and now I have a motorcycle.
