Man dressed as leprechaun annoys customers in store parking lot
He was jumping in and out from between cars, pretending to shoot at people with his fingers and may have made obscene gestures, as well.

At least he wasn't showing off his Lucky Charms.

I don't think the the pot of gold at the rainbow's end is in a supermarket parking lot. Of course, I could be wrong.

The poor economy is hurting everyone. I would imagine that, with the cost of gold so high now combined with hard times, this guy probably mailed his entire pot o' gold to cashforgold.....then used all the money on crack and imaginary guns.

Sounds like an advertising stunt to me.

Hi folks, it's me. I wasn't merely dressed as a leprechaun, I am one.

Yeah, Boulder is the Land of Fruits and Nuts, East.
I guess the Flakes have moved East, as well.

At least there was no "Hello, Lass. Would ya like to rub me magic shelele?"

Krash,
I have decided that Boulder is necessary to offset the insanity that is Colorado Springs! Without the two of these cities, the Rocky Mountains would spin wildly out of control and destroy vast swaths of the great plains.
On second thought, perhaps that is not such a bad thing.

Top 'O the mornin' to ye' -- won't you have a look at me lucky charms?

@ JJ
But where then would Kellogg get the grain for the corn flakes. Beside the point, that the people of the middle state tend to anchor the nation the same way that you refer to. The coasts tend to be extravagantly liberal.

@Krash -
Do you mean liberal in the actual definition of the word according to Webster's Dictionary or as in what the Neo-Cons would make it? They have tried to corrupt the language in Orwellian terms, water-boarding is "intense interogation" as opposed to torture? This is double-plus ungood.
Having grown up in the middle states, I would say they are insanely conservative. As reflected in the sign seen at many town-hall meetings which said "keep your government hands off my medicare." Also, cornflakes would be much cheaper if we were not subsidizing the "anchors of the nation".

Actually JJ, I mean "Liberal" in the manner in which it was coined. I believe the Original Liberals were English MPs from the 1830's and 40's who were campaigning against the Corn Laws and their associated taxes / crown subsidies.

I was referring to the coastal states in the terms that they would apply to themselves, today. Which is to say they have co-opted the word, "Liberal".
