Right, it'll go on sale next week, in the NYC area the fixings for St.
Paddy's day will be slashed at least by half, they'll price corned
beef for St. Paddy's day like they do turkey for Thanksgiving...
usually when you spend a certain amount they toss in cabbage and
potatoes for free. Neighborhood gin mills will serve free dinners to
patrons with green beer... even the bagel bakers do green bagels,
green cream cheese too. The liquor stores will have their best week
of the year. Dunkin' Donuts will have lots of green donuts, decorated
with holiday candy... kiss my Blarney Stone, Dwarflol:
