Out and About

Uisge Beatha 06

The other night I went out with some friends (one of whom was kind enough to bring us Maple Syrup all the way from Canada!). After dinner, we ended up wandering about in search of someplace quieter, as the place we’d had dinner was getting all settled in to have a DJ, rapidly clearing out those of us who wanted to actually be heard. We ended up just down the street, at Uisge Beatha.

The lad shown here … was from here. Tell me, any of you out there who have any insight: why would someone go out for a night on the town wearing a “Viking” helmet made of plastic? I suppose it’s all part of why he’d stand around, chatting up strangers, happy to have his picture taken?

  1. The key point, here, is that this guy's wearing a fur-trimmed jacket. If it were just the towel and the plastic helmet, that would be one thing. But the jacket … is his own, personal touch.

    We don't quite get the full effect, here, either, because there were other horned animals in the place, but they were decently stuffed, mounted, and hung on the walls.
