A town without one is a barren town, where there are no shamrocks drawn in foam, where sparkling wine is allowed to be ordered, and where Shane Macgowan is heard only in minivan commercials.
A town with one has a first line of defense against Applebees.

Beacon for the weary
Don’t even get me started on seeing one of my favorite Pogues songs used in a fucking minivan commercial.
First Shane gets a “proper” set of new teeth, then he lets corporate America run his song in a commercial aimed at suburban soccer moms.
The Mayans were right.
The larger problem lies with the creative teams that keep thinking it’s cutting edge to pair minivan footage with a cool song. Didn’t Volkswagen get out in front of that about 20 years ago? Time for some new concepts.
Truly brilliant logic!
Objectively, I’d have to agree with you.
I’m frightened that even the Irish pub canlt stop the onslaught of the stale aroma of freeze-packed chicken in an Applebees.
God help us.
