The Shamrock Shake

Its hard to be angry all the time. While living in Massachusetts as a conservative helps, sometimes I need a WTF day.

Todays one of those days. Don't get me wrong. I'm still pissed about that felonious pantload Tom Finnerian being on my favorite talk station and not in prison, and I'm still throwing up in my mouth every time I hear Deval Patrick doing something else to tax us back into the stone age ( I want to bring this phrase back. It never got its due during the election) .

But its Monday and my brain is a torrent of work related struggles and not fully up to speed from the weekend. Then I learned something that just knocked me on my ass....

Did you know that the Shamrock Shake is not promoted nationally by McDonalds anymore? Remember every year, the Green Grimace would come waddling out of the clover with a frosty rich thick booger green Shamrock Shake - available for a limited time only? Well no more. Its like a piece of my childhood has died. Just like when I found out Peter Brady was 40 and boning model Adrienne Curry. Of course the adult part of me dug it. But I was sad that the Peter Brady I remember was gone.

And so has gone the Shamrock Shake. Goodbye. Goodbye HR Puffinstuff, Starblazers, Gilligans Island, Major Mudd , Creature Double Feature and SuperFriends.

What ever happened to the McRib?
