Speaking of which (and with thanks to Luis Campos), here's a little cipher to help you ward off the effects of too much green beer:
"RGHRXWNPKTWAAD, KXGAWOZ KY W
BGZKJB-YKEGZ XJXWA KYAWOZ SPWS KY YAHUAD
LJS YSGWZKAD LGKOR THOYJBGZ LD YPGGN."
-- ZWCG LWXXD
Spend a wee bit o' time on it, me darlins', and less time bendin' yer fine elbows, or ye might end up like I did last year:
"When Irish eyes are smiliiiiing..."

What? No hints to get us started? Hmmm... this may take a minute or two.

Got it! Thanks for the geog. lesson, Buddy!

Yippee! Let's hear it for determination! And thanks, Auntie Julia, for providing just a small hint, so other readers can still give it a try.
Note to other readers: Don't give it away too fast. Next one to figure it out, please tell us the last word of the quote (not the author's last name).
Hey, Buddy!
Enjoyed your post – love the photo!
Today I found a quotation I think you might agree with: “Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.”
~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
Have a great day!
I do agree. That Pooh is one smart bear.
Speaking of smart, is NOBODY besides A.J. gonna solve the cipher? It ain't rocket surgery. I'll bet somebody as sharp as Dave Barry could figure it out in a minute.
Okay then. The last word is "sheep". I hate to be the one to have the last word, but nobody else is speaking up.
Love,
Auntie Julia
Some of us are a little slower than others…
Thanks, Buddy, and especially Julia! Once Julia got me past the absolute certainty that the last word HAD to be “Green” because of the holiday, the rest wasn’t too difficult!
“Geographically, Ireland is a medium-sized rural island that is slowly but steadily being consumed by sheep.” Dave Barry
No, M, I did NOT cheat and look it up by author!
