May I have this Riverdance?
For the second week in a row, my friends and I turn down the hill on d'Aguilar street with a growling appetite. The neon sign glows overhead, "Stormie's Upstairs - Open for Drinks and Snacks". And so, for the second week in a row Dave and I go up stairs and ask, "Is Stormie's upstairs open for drinks and snacks?" The bartender again tells us that he is closed, although there are two people at the bar.
"Sorry, we've been here awhile," say the guy and girl at the bar.
"The sign outside says you're open," Dave declares to the bartender.
"You did this to us last week too!" I added.
The girl at the bar spins around and proclaims "We're Irish and we're actually famous. That's why he's serving us."
"Famous and Irish?" I ask, "Does that merit special treatment?"
Defensively, the girls replies, "We're not very famous here, but we are in Ireland. We're in Riverdance."
And so we danced.

Haha, I love little C-list celebrities, I wish I were one so I could be this pompus.h
Are people in Hong Kong particularly enamored with Riverdancers? Michael Flatley and his ilk were done by the early 90's, but appartently they are still knocking around Hong Kong.
And so that is French 1, Irish 0.
