Worst thing is, I *knew* that; I noticed in passing that Google seems to have smaller clovers than last year, and I chuckled at Andrew's "hyphenated-Americans" who spread their old tradiotions sometimes as far as back to the old homeland.
But (for some stupid fucking unfathomable reason) I didn't grok that then, when someone wanders around blowing his bagpipes in the workplace (wasn't it?) in America on that day, they're infinitely more likely to be supposed to be Irish pipes than Scottish. Which *perfectly* explains why JayBee thought Amy should have been drooling for cabbage stew in stead of haggis.
Damn, I *hate* it when I'm being stupid like that. :-( :-( :-(
Sorry.
