    Reliable studies show that 2% of boards users are leprachauns. Well, although I'm not one, I feel I must stand up for this minority group. No longer ought leprachauns hide behind their pots of gold at the end of rainbows tbh.

    So, I thought it would be good to do a thread about leprechaun culture (there's so much more to it than Darby O'Gill - reprazent!), day to day experiences of being a leprechaun in contemporary Irish society, integration of leprechauns in the wider community - do you feel you get treated fairly?, the woeful under-representation of leprechauns in the Dáil and Seanad, dating between leprechauns and non-leprechauns and so on. There's a lot to discuss really...

    So, would boards leprchauns users have two seperate crocks or mix it all in the one big crock, I wonder?

    This is a real letter to the Galway Advertiser, I have the paper clipping at home.

    Dear Editor,
    I post this letter on my departure from Ireland, with a heavy heart.

    On my recent visit to Ireland I briefly took in the enchanting city of Galway and quite frankly I was a little disturbed by what I saw. I am from New York and as a little girl growing up I have been made aware that these little guys' main purpose is to entertain us tourists, how and ever, as I prepared to board my flight to Ireland I was filled with excitement as I was finally going to come face to face with a real live leprechaun.

    I spent four weeks touring Ireland, north to south, east to west, and I didn't even see one. It was only while walking down Eyre Square that the reason for this became clear - as one of the local pubs was clearly stating the fact that they "no longer test their shirts on leprechauns," it's obvious that you no longer think you require the benefits of the leprechaun, don't you realise your country is nothing but fields and trees without them.

    I was enraged at this. I understand that the introduction of the euro may have slowed things in Ireland down a little, but for pity's sake, the tourists are still travelling to your country and to be blatantly honest, I feel we are being cheated out of appreciating the little guys.

    I ask you has it really come to this in Ireland, that the leprechauns are being relegated to the menial job of testing the durability of cotton? You have tarnished your culture. You have tarnished the spirit of the leprechaun. These little guys are the reason your land is so popular; they are the tradition that brings us Americans to your country, and mark my words, if these little guys aren't reinstated, it will be the reason we never return.

    Yours,
    Mary-Ann Durtz,
    New York.

    Y'see, this is why feminism was such a bad idea...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    leprechaunism has studied the problems of feminism and will avoid them. it'll be the coolest fight-da-status-quo evah tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Did you know that:

    - 60% of all Leprechauns report being passed over for promotion because their managers didn't see them.

    - 3,000 incidents of Lucky Charm theft were reported to the Gards in 2005, up 3% on 2004. The actual number of thefts is believed to be higher as Gards do not take the issue seriously.

    - Although the Irish government gave special dispensation to Leprechauns to build casinos they are only allowed do so on Indian burial grounds.

    These are the FACTS and no amount of boobery will disclose them!
