The evening started out pretty normal. I headed into the city to meet up with my buds, for dinner at the Continental. I already told you guys what an amazing night this was for me...best friends, lots of fancy boozes, yum food, what else do you need?
We sang Happy Birthday to Katie, who turned 31 just yesterday.
btdub, I hope you had an awesome birthday Kate!
then after blowing out her candles, I headed to the ladies room...
when, according to Urban Dictionary dot com, I was Photojacked. I left my camera at the table and didn't, until a few days later, find this gem uploading.
My friends are effing weird. And I love em.
Meanwhile, half of us decided to make it a late night and head out to an Irish pub...because as a wise man once said, I've never met an Irish pub I didn't like. Wait, there was no wise man. I said that. And I meant it. So anyway, after handing my expensive camera over to a drunken Irishman to take our picture fifteen times, these were the results. Now keep in mind, I don't look at my pictures after taking them....ever. I like the surprise. So imagine that surprise when I realize that, according to Urban Dictionary dot dom, I'd been Photobombed.
Oh. The peace sign. Good one. 
Oh the peace sign and duck lips. Even better.
Well now you just look like an idiot. You can hear the "derrrrr" coming out of her mouth, can't you?
So listen girlie, if you're out there in your sequin trim tank reading my blog (very high possibility, right guys?), I'm not a fan of you ruining my pictures. I prefer to ruin my own pictures with things like leaning over and backwards in an attempt to be the same height as my shorty friends only to showcase my chin region to the world. So for fecks sake lady, the next time you see me taking pictures in the middle of an irish bar, keep your peace signs to yourself. Wait...is she giving me bunny ears? Well that changes everything. Now I'm pissed.
UPDATE: Thanks to the anonymi tipsters, I found out that this was no innocent case of bunny ears. This b was being straight up rude. So I took it to the Shannanigans FB page, where it was suggested that she was giving us the European equivalent of the finger...or she was slow on the draw in giving the crude fingers-over-the-mouth, vag symbol thing. You know what I mean...Anyway, I'm making it my personal mission to spend my weekends in irish pubs in the city of Philadelphia hunting this girl down to publicly shame her. You with me?

the continental!? please tell me you or someone had a buzz aldrin martini!! and/or the pad thai!! and/or the ginormous plate of shoestring fries!! they are all my fav.
i'm officially jealous.... and now craving a martini and french fries before 8am. :/
Michael, this is the gal with the crazy fur wrapped around her head in the photos. I received word from the waitress that Buzz himself sent the Continental a Cease and Desist to stop using his name, so it's now called "The Astronaut". haha Great post Shanny.
True story, I had the SAME two guys photobomb my friends and I at St. Patrick's Day in 2007 and then again on St. Patrick's Day in 2009. The weird part? We went to different bars those two years.
SPOOKY.
I can't believe those people-the nerve! BTW- I remember that hideous couple getting into a little lover's quarrel if I am not mistaken. I am glad they could reconcile enough to be unfunny in our pics. In other new, how many times do you think the waitress at the Continental has to deal with giggling immature 31 yr olds when they order a drink called "The Suirt"?
SQUIRT!
Were those two people actually Irish? If so, they weren't bunny ears or a peace sign...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign
Agreeing with the previous Anonymous, they were definitely neither...
Anonys, it appears you guys are right! I didn't even notice the position of her hand. So, according to Wiki, she's insulting me? Is that how Irish lasses tell me to eff off? I need to know!
Yes, if she has spent any time in Ireland or England then she knows that using those two fingers in such a way IS an insult.
She was probably just trying to be funny assuming you didn't know the meaning behind the fingers. However, if I run into her in town I promise that I will chop them off for you.
So funny. Love the duck lips best of all - she's obviously 22 if she's still doing duck lips (or drunk at a wedding and thinking her face looks too full...not that I speak from experience on that one.)
Eh, it's harmless. It's the same as if we made the middle finger in the background of someone else's photo. Regardless, since it was a Bogside show, I'll see them 3000 more times and make them uncomfortable
At least you got a blog post and funny story out of her rude behavior. BTW your hair looks great.
You are too funny. The things Wiki teaches!!
Haha, well since that chick insisted on ruining your picture you can definitely take comfort in knowing that she looks like a complete moron doing it :)
Lokos like a fun night, regardless!
She obvs was doing the peace sign, which is the international signal for "douchebag". She is in no way ironic enough to be doing the bunny ears.
i'm in on the douche hunt, so....when should i come down? ps- i don't know what a buzz aldrin is, but i suppose i should investigate toute suite!
Duck lips alone gets her punched in the face.
Third picture down- classic.
I will be on the lookout for this bitch.
Hmm...where to begin?
1) Has Kate finished those books yet or what? Have you read them? I love them and really hope the movies don't screw. it. up. for me.
2) I don't live anywhere near you, so I can't hunt this girl down, but all I'd do is throw her a peace sign really.
3) I laughed a lot reading this post, so t y.
Crap.
4) Fecks sake. Yes. Such a good movie, and that scene is my favorite.
