Fullosia Press: Rockaway Park NY March 17 2005 in the 34th year of the Society A Happy St Patrick's Day To You Michael Collins: The Man Who Made Ireland Eamon de Valera: The Man Who Was Ireland Each year on March 17th, The Gentlemen of the Rockaway Park Philosophical Society lay aside mundane matters to celebrate the beginning of its philosophical year, now the 34th of the Society. At this most joyous time, we care not who gives or takes offence. The St Pat's Day issue is the most important release of the Philosophical year because it is the occasion to derride all the former world empires that have challenged the Kelts. We on the other hand limit the content to Keltic issues. We don't even make a goat out of that pathetic little pretender to world imperium; the goat makes enough of an @ $ $ out of himself on his own. We are proud to say that the St Patrick's Day issue is the least popular edition of Fullosia Press. Last year indeed several writers vowed never to again submit to FP in consequence of that edition. Some filed complaints with professional associations over it. I can't tell you how much the Society was overjoyed. Yet as true Societals we do what we do neither for acclaim or declaim but because it is possible. We say of ourselves as Nikita Krushchev told John Kennedy: "You may be able to make me sniff [oophah], on occasion you may be able to force me to eat it, but you will never hear me say [oophah] smells like sweet perfume." We wish the angered ecriviens the best and hope the Imperial Censor places them on King's Honours for drivel. A Most Cheery Cherio!
