October Revisited

So I'm in a Limerick pub on St. Patrick's Day, wearing my bright red Cardinals hat to go with a green Ireland rugby shirt, and this guy comes up to me and says, "nice hat, but I like the shirt better." Not many people wear hats here, so I was guessing this apparent Irishman was giving me trouble for my clash of cultures. "Thanks man, I always like you take a little bit of home with me, you know," I replied. He just looked at me and pointed at his shirt: World Champion Boston Red Sox. Then he pointed at his buddy's hat: World Champion Boston Red Sox. Missing Day 1 of the NCAAs and running into Red Sox fans in the same day. If it wasn't St. Patrick's Day, I might have just jumped into oncoming traffic.
