It's St. Patrick's day! Jon and Erin explore two of the least depressing facets of Victorian Ireland: Folklore and American celebrations! Erin breaks down some of the sillier myths documented in W.B. Yeats' "Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry." Jon fills us in on how some of the States paid tribute to the Emerald Isle. Don't piss off any of the good people and remember, death is no escape from Lithium Jubilee!
