Ah, Saint Paddy's day always gives me a bit of the blues instead of the greens. Not for the Irish whom are troubled not by a much of wee anythin but for the poor unfortunate Leprechauns. They've been given the short straw, literally. Do you know why Leprechauns have a habit of kickin you in the shins? Well, if you got a knee in the eye all the time you'd do the same! And everyone always tryin to steal their gold! As if they have pots of it lyin about what with the economy bein what it has. Try findin a job if you're a Leprechaun. All you get is 'Sorry wee laddie... I already have plenty of pipe cleaners.' Enough to drive a poor bugger to drink! Then there's the sex or lack there of. Ya can't even pay for it, ya know?! Ask a nice workin girl for a trollip through the hay and all ya hear is, 'Sorry kid but the last time I had anythin that small in me mouth was when I use to get Tootsie Roll pops as a kid myself and I always chewed them up in a blink and a nod.'. No... we don't see 'em much anymore because of all the abuse they got back in the day. If I was that small I'd kick a rabbit out of his hole and stay down there myself. Poor Leprechauns.
I have always had a fascination for "Tiny people" of mythology. I guess it stems from my fascination of building scale models and miniatures. I even have a friend who draws cartoons and comics featuring "Down Home" style Fairies, Brownies and even "Little Green Men" from outer space. One artist I follow here on FA even has 12 inch tall "Mouse" people that build tiny, flying aircraft and automobiles. I often have fantasized about supporting and trading with tiny people who would find shelter around the house and yard, and in return they could craft tiny, intricately detailed items I could incorporate into my model works and art.
So yeah. Leprechauns might have gotten a bum deal, but originally, they were kind if nasty little spirits of Nature. Most of the pranks and mean jokes they'd play on the larger humans had lessons in them that would have the Humans either change their ways, or seek not to pass through that part of the country again. (A good example and my favorite, old Warner Bros. Cartoon on the subject was the 1951 "Wearing of the Grin" short film.)

I did! I found their reviews of the recent Star Wars features amusing and often to the point. I Still have yet to find out what happened to the Supremacy at the end of "The Last Jedi" but I guess I'll save that for when I finally rent the DVD from the local Library, or something.
