I was just send this video from a blogless friend. It's a news story about St. Patrick's Day and a ... well, a leprechan that people say lives in a tree. I can't believe this actually aired on television and that these people are sane.
The best line? "It could be a crackhead."
Ogre, you have to realize that the people here are not your normal, every day, run of the mill people. There may have been a few "crack heads" in the crowd, like the guy who was going to rent a backho to "find the pot of gold", or the one in the blue cap early on (in BAD need of a dentist.
Mostly, I think it was just a ploy to get on TV and get some time on camera!
I can't imagine that those people were really serious, but then I can't imagine they're that good actors, either.
