Tales O' Shanry

So, Shannon Wheeler has been kind enough to continue the adventures of Shanry O'Mallet in his weekly comic strip Too Much Coffee Man. Here is this weeks comic. In it, the deadly sins according to Shanry are unveiled. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Shanry is the deity for a religion called Leprechaunism which I describe in this post.) To see more of Shannon's work you can check out the newest collection of TMCM, called How To Be Happy. It's getting terrific reviews so far. The Onion: likey. The Fourth Rail: thumbs up.

Sorry for the light posting this past week, I should be back to a normal schedule starting today.

Thanks.

    Looks like you have started a legend. :-)

    In terms of not posting enough, we'll let Shanry decide your punishment. ;-)

    He's grounded me for a week, no television or cell phone. The bastard.

    Drunken sod farmers of the world, unite!

    At least he didn't try to ground you from Guinness. Since import beer is one of the idols you can place before him, would Shanry have the authority to ground you from Guinness? Do we have the makings of our first crisis of faith within the Church O' Shanry?

    I draw the line at Guinness. If he takes away my favorite beer I'll just convert to Buddhism.

    (It's funny because, if we continue the Shanry story line, I've worked Guinness into the next installment. You show a true understanding of our leprechaun deity, Mindwyrm. You should probably start up a seminary devoted to Shanry.)

    Be careful Snave, if you unionize the drunken sod farmers you'll make Wal Mart cry (and unload their full legal staff on you.)

    That's punishment? My life must be hell then.

    As Guinness drinkers are all Shanry's children everytime there is a gathering in a pub around a pitcher of that most divine of alcoholic beverages it would qualify as a service in the Church of Shanry I would think. The seminary would be a bit more formal. First of all, we'd need more than one pitcher. Secondly, a big screen with soccer, Notre Dame football, or NFL(I'll even give ya rugby) playing. No preaching or teaching is required. The only speaking permitted is to request more Guinness or question the sport officials ancestry. Everything else is right out.....except talking about the hot waitress. That's required.

    Shanry be with you.

    Achoo.

    Is it just me? When I ready Shanry Bless You, I think of sneezing.

    It would have to be Beerddhism for me.
