NYC Padres' Irish Stepdance: "The Exorcism Jig"

The NYC Padres' EXORCISM:

"East/Hudson Rivers Dance"
(Irish Jig Music by "U2" and "The Creed")

A Happy and Safe

Saint Patrick's Day
to the
Ancient Order of Hibernians *
who would not allow
The Gay Irish LGBT

[lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] Community
to March under their own flag,

Proudly Identify themselves
or openly celebrate our heritage and identity
in the annual NYC Saint Patrick's Day Parade.**

Don't get so BENT, guys!

a public service reminder...

....and don't DRINK too much Green Beer
and/or Green Martini's

and then MARCH and/or DRIVE
this Holyday!

The NYPD COPS *** will lock you up in the
"Paddy Wagon" -- if you do.

So pig out on corned beef, potatoes & cabbage instead!

(Local ORC and most RC dioceses have granted dispensations from the Lenten obligation of Friday Abstinence.)

* founded in New York City on May 4th, 1836

** These homophobic Hibernians won a federal court battle in 1993 against then-NYC Mayor David Dinkins that permitted them to exclude gay people from their public expressions.

** (However, we also still have our own West Village All Hallows Eve "Halloween" Parade. LOL)

*** COPS: -- "Constables on Patrol"

**** NYC Irish immigrants procured their corned beef from the East European Jews on the Lower East Side since they couldn't find any of their prefered Irish Bacon after they arrived here.

***** "The Day We Celebrate" -- Wood engraving [above] by editorial cartoonist Thomas Nast which subjectively depicts St. Patrick's Day in 1867 as the NYPD cops attack the drunken Irish immigrants with swords and batons. Published in Harper's Weekly on April 6, 1867. This is NOT how WE celebrate this Holy Feast Day.
