St. Killian's Day / Kevin Bacon's Birthday!

INDEPENDENCE DAY IS SWELL AND ALL, BUT LET'S BE HONEST, MOST OF US LIVE HERE IN THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY. WE BREATHE IN LIBERTY EVERYDAY, AND OFTEN WE MISTAKE IT FOR THE SMELL OF URINE OR BUS EXHAUST. BUT HOW OFTEN DO WE TRULY CELEBRATE KEVIN BACON AND HIS MASTERFUL FILMOGRAPHY, INLCLUDING THE UNFORGETTABLE "HOLLOW MAN", THE DOCUMENTARY THAT WARNED US OF THE DANGERS OF ANGRY DESERT SAND WORMS- "TREMORS", THE SHOULD-HAVE-BEEN OSCAR TAKER "THE AIR UP THERE", OR THAT ONE ABOUT DANCING IN A BARN? ALSO, IF YOU BELEIVE THOSE COMMERCIALS, MR. BACON LOVES THE ARTS IN PHILADELPHIA. WHY, THEN, DOESN'T HE MARRY THEM? BEATS ME.
OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE IS SAINT KILLIAN. THOUGH HE WAS NOT IN "THE AIR UP THERE", HE DID HANG OUT ALL OVER IRELAND DOING SAINT STUFF BACK BEFORE THERE WAS EVEN ATARI. LATER HE WENT TO WHAT IS NOW GERMANY AND DID MORE SAINT STUFF. NOW, HE HAS BECOME THE PATRON SAINT OF BAVARIA, GOUT, WHITEWASHERS, RHEUMATISM AND WURZBURG, GERMANY. GOOD SHOW, KILLIAN! NICE RESUME!
SO THROW OFF THE YOKE OF YOUR POST-INDEPENDENCE DAY DEPRESSION AND COME JOIN US FOR BACON AND A KEG OF KILLIAN'S IRISH RED IN HONOR OF TWO MEN WHO CHANGED HISTORY.
