Menhun'econs? or Leper'hunes?? Pg 2 St.Pat'iki's best Wishes

I put a bit to much energy into making some cool Celtic based mugs and haven't put to much thought into "Who is St. Pat'iki?"

Help me out and win a 'Green' Tiki necklace from me. I'll send one to the person with the best description... I may use it on my ebay descriptions for the mugs....
let's end this thing on the 13th? 10:00AM so I can mail the Lucky Charm out before the big 'New' Day....

here's a bit O'Brain food for thought and some Happy St.Pat'iki Day Wishes from The KING!!!!! and I

Proud to be an Irish Tiki file me self!
Happy St Patty's and CHEERS!

Oh my! At first I thought you were kiddin' us, but I should have know better than to underestimate your CRAZINESS! Those mugs look FANTASTIC!

I love that shade of green and the Hawaiian/Celtic designs mesh well. Nice work - again!

Saint Pa'tiki was known all throughout the polynesian isles as the one who drove out the cargo cult snakes from the isle of Ire... also known as marqesaritaville. He brought Rum to the islanders, who had only known of some beverage known as 'whiskey' before, and bestowed upon them the Mai T'ireland, a beverage made with blue curacao instead of cointreau, and a dash of yellow food coloring.

Mai T'ireland:

• 1 oz. Dark Rum
• 1 oz Light Rum
• 1 oz Orange Curacao
• 2 oz Orange Juice
• 1/2 oz Lime Juice
• Dash Orgeat
• Dash Simple syrup (bar syrup)
• Yellow food coloring (or a dash of Yellow Chartreuse)

Nice new mugs.

Crazy Al, you live up to your moniker just a little too well, I'm starting to think it's not an act! :lol: Great mugs and beautiful green glaze.

Oh, St. Pat'iki! Well known patron saint of drunkards, rum distillers, loose hipped wahines and mug collectors! Kidnapped from the Emerald Isle by a South Pacific headhunter tribe, he miraculously saved his own life by teaching the savages to distill their own liquour with what they had on hand...sugar cane! After partaking of their fine rum, the women of the village treated him to a special hula...well, that is why St. Pat'iki is not so well known....he wasn't such a saint anymore! But Crazy Al has perfectly captured the likeness of the Celtic Tikis found in the ruins of this ancient village, and the skull mug is a wonderful example of St. Pat'iki's influence on the headhunter's trophies!

Ok...enough rum for me for a bit...I'm getting as crazy as Al!

nice direction on the Pat'iki legions!! the cocktail is what i was looking for too........

The second, but equally important libation known to the Islanders of the region, was named the Emerald Lagooni, and is traditionally served in green ceramic vessels as an homage to the good saint, utilizing several of the rums and fruits that he brought from the mythical Land of the Beach, an area unknown to the cliffs and rocky shores of the islanders.

The Emerald Lagooni*
1/4 Naval Orange, cut into 1/8 slices
1 small Lime
1 oz. Vanilla Cognac
2 oz White Rum
1 oz Demarara Rum
2 oz. Gold Rum
1 tsp. Oregat
1 oz blue Curacao
1 can Ginger Ale
1 Dash Agave Nectar
Orange Juice
*

fill 2 Pa'Tiki mugs with ice, pour 1/2 can Ginger ale into each. Shake & strain all but Agave and juice into cups. drop 2 or 3 drops of agave in each mug, top with orange juice. Cut lime into quarters. Squeeze 1 quarter lime in each cup, add lime chunk & orange chunk to top.

~~Alternately, this beverage can be served as a Marquesan Snake Chaser, with all ingredients mixed in a Scorpion bowl.

Wants!!!

As do we all, Pomaika i. As do we all.

from Wikipedia:

"Patron saint of all cocktails having the word 'Irish' in them, and guardian of 'All The Tiki Bar(s?) in Ireland' according to legend, Crazy St.Pat'iki has been gaining increasing popularity on this side of the Atlantic with the resurgence of Tiki Culture in America.

Excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1826 for serving cocktails during holy communion and blessing the congregation with the phrase; "God is like a Box of Chocolates", St. Pat'iki was later granted full sainthood after performing several bona-fide miracles, including:

1. Turning whiskey into rum
2. Driving the snakes out of Kathy Ireland
3. Creating the Blarney Stone by passing it through his kidney
4. Accidentally killing a leprechaun with a swizzle stick while blessing it.

Later, he was the first saint to receive Double Secret Excommunication for deep-frying Snicker Bars in the baptismal fount while chanting "in nomine Crisco!".

Typical greetings between adherents of St. Pat'iki include blowing paper umbrellas out of cocktail straws at tiki bars and the folding cocktail napkins into origami tikis, which are worn on the head. Other rituals include tying shamrocks into the hair of one's beard (or, in the case of women, one's armpits)."

Oh My!
