Here are two live versions, one from 1998 followed by one from 2012.

Against "Amateur Hour" as well as its opposition. [What day is it?]
March 17th, 2013 by C. RogersSt. Patrick's Day is amateur hour.
"THIS IS NOT AMATEUR HOUR. Happy St. Patrick's Day."
The fact that the preceding image exists to splay on a print-on-demand garment is further proof of this post's initial stipulation. Look:
"THIS IS NOT AMATEUR HOUR. Happy St. Patrick's Day."
Counterpoints exist, but why would you ever want to be the person wearing this shirt below in public?
"ST. PATRICK'S DAY IS FOR AMATEURS"
Just terrible.
Listen, St. Patrick's Day is to drinking what Valentine's Day is to loving -- if you genuinely care, you do it based on what your heart says, and you don't need the calendar to tell you to do it.
As ever, as far as we know, the best celebratory thing you can do to recognize St. Patrick's Day is to enjoy Brad Neely's "Bring The Gold."
And remember, there were never any snakes on Éire to begin with.

It's a Pine On Saturday. [This Is What Rock Looks Like]
September 8th, 2012 by C. RogersThe End Of The World (Again). [Fuck You Friday]
October 21st, 2011 by C. RogersYou know what today is?
It's Friday.
Yeah, it's a Friday.
That means it's a Fuck You Friday. Yeah.
So, that religu-larious nutcase Harold Camping claims that today -- 2011-10-21 as the calendar reads -- will be The End Of The World.
Well, it the world didn't end back on May 21 of this year when Camping said it would.
And it won't end today. NeverCo guarantees it.
It's sad that he's wrong and that people follow him.
Therefore, to combat that attendant sadness, let's consider the actual End Of The World:
You're welcome.

Or as I might image the kitty thought: "Fuck. FUCK YOU. FUCKYOUAPPLES! FUCK YOU APPLES. FUCK. Fuuuck. Fuck! Fff. Fuck. FUUUCK! Fuckin'... Fuh. Fuck."
Fuckin' apples.
