The Elusive "Feckin" Taxi

Now I'm not one for gratuitous or excessive swearing (unless it happens to be immensely amusing), but I saw these things driving around the city and thought that they were hilarious. I swore that, some day, I would get a picture of one, and, yesterday afternoon, I succeeded. So, without further ado, allow me to present the Feckin' Taxi:


I hope that this picture is good enough for you guys to read most of what it says. It seems like Blogspot or Blogger or whatever this blog-hosting site is doesn't really upload pictures too well, so if you'd like to see it better I think I'll post it on my Facebook page as well.

Anyway, at first I thought that these taxis and the "Drink Feckin' Responsibly" signs that I saw around were either a joke or Ireland's unique way of battling excessive drinking. No, no... Come on people, we're talking about the Irish here! Look closer at the taxi and you'll see a web site: http://www.feckinwhiskey.com/. That's right, friends and neighbors - it's a brand of whiskey! More specifically, a "whiskey for the rogue in all of us." Feckin' Irish Whiskey. Oh, Jeremy... you naive prat...

Right. Well, I thought that the feckin' taxis were amusing, and hopefully you do too! Maybe I'll write some more on the topic of the word "feckin'" later. Until next time...
