I had hoped the Orr-Carkner V would go down last night so I could have posted the fight video here, but alas, no fisticuffs last night. I guess I'll just have to drown the sorrow I have from not seeing a fight with some green beer and Irish whiskey.  If you didn't have the good fortune to be born Irish, fret not, today you are all honorary Irishmen. So grab a pint, chug it down, and throw some fists.

Erin Go Bragh!
