“Look up! Is that the Shoemaker-Shillelagh comet?”
“Have you been smoking clover again? There’s nothing there.” 
“Gold streaks--writhing like pythons in the sky!”
“Sky snakes? Um, no. I also didn’t see some homicidal baby with a bow and quiver, a manic bunny employed by the chocolate lobby, or a bad-tempered jackass o’ lantern with dental issues.” 
“My girlfriend says...”
“Don’t get me started on that imaginary chick with wings you claim you met at the Green rally when you lost your tooth fighting.”
“Chill, San-Man, ol’ St. Dick, give a leprechaun a break. Ride the Rainbow...”
