The Day After... Everyone is Irish

Weiss was trying to talk with Pyrrha as the Mistralian Champion waited outside JNPR and RWBY's dorms for the return of her partner, and his sister.

Apparently even though their name was Valian in origin, the pair of fraternal twins through their mother's side was predisposed to celebrate the 17th of the third month...

Pyrrha: I'm sorry, but...

Weiss: Are you worried about that dol... I'm mean Jaune and his sister? They are old enough to take care of themselves.

Pyrrha: But they've been gone since yesterday morning. I'm wo...

Jaune/Joan: (drunkenly singing... LOUDLY) What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning!

Pyrrha: Jaune? Joan?

Weiss : are... are they STILL DRINKING?!?

Jaune and Joan stumbled about arms over each other's shoulders, each holding a bottle of... something... probably highly alcoholic

Jaune/Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

Joan: Shave his belly with a rusty razor Shave his belly with a rusty razor Shave his belly with a rusty razor Early in the morning!

Wiess / Pyrrha: ...

Jaune/Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

Jaune: Put him in a long boat till his sober Put him in a long boat till his sober Put him in a long boat till his sober Early in the morning!

Jaune/Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

Joan: Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom Early in the morning!

Jaune/Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

By this point the intoxicated pair have reached the stunned Weiss and Pyrrha. Joan sticks her tongue out at Jaune and then shoves him off to stumble into Pyrrha... who he grabs by the waist and starts spinning her around as if dancing...

Pyrrha: EEP!

Joan: Put him in the bed with the captains daughter Put him in the bed with the captains daughter Put him in the bed with the captains daughter Early in the morning!

Jaune/Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

Weiss: Unhand me!

As Jaune continued to spin and sway with Pyrrha, Joan stumbled over and scooped Wiess into a princess Carry, and began to spin about with her... all the while the pair continued to sing... drunkenly and loudly...

Jaune/Joan: That's what we do with a drunken sailor That's what we do with a drunken sailor That's what we do with a drunken sailor Early in the morning!

The pair split off each moving towards a different dorm...

Jaune: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

JNPR's door slams shut.

Joan: Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

RWBY's door slams shut.

/==/ I know I'm a day late, but... Happy Saint Patrick's Day! /==/

So something some of you might not know is that music is a big part of who I am. I love music. I’m also Canadian and am proud of most Canadian groups and artists. So here’s a Spotify playlist of some of my fave Canadian songs. You may recognize some of them, you might not. But I hope you’ll enjoy it either way.

In 1968 my parents bought an album called "The Unicorn" by the Irish Rovers - I was four years old at the time, and I fell in love with the music. Then in 1971 the band got their own half-hour musical comedy variety show on CBC television (Canada), and it was what began my interest in my heritage - the culture, history and language of Ireland (including Northern Ireland, where the band members were from). The lead singer was Jimmy Ferguson, and he was my inspiration, my role model, my imaginary best friend, my pretend big brother. He died in 1997, and my heart broke.

Today would have been his 83rd birthday.

RIP, big Jim - I'll always love you.

Metric System: Simple, elegant, base 10, unfortunately French

Imperial System: A snifter of brandy, a jigger of gin, a jar of mead, a jug of punch, a tot of rum, a dram of scotch, a mug of ale, a halfin' of whiskey, a glass of wine, and a pint of Guinness before we take our leave.

The Unicorn Song

I prefer this version by the Bards slightly over the Irish Rovers one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EPsuOEH1fY ) but they’’re both fun fab songs !
