LEGENDS OF THE LEPRACHAUNS















Hosted by www.Geocities.ws

According to old Irish folklore, Leprachauns are an odd lil' bunch. A mischevious, fun-loving breed that hide their pots of gold from us, usually at the end of rainbows. If you should ever happen to be lucky enough to catch one of these green-wearin' imps, legend has it that they must turn it over to you without a fight.

The legend of McPissy� dates back to the mid 1800's, when the Irish were hit with a plague much more devastating than the great potato famine. People all over Ireland were being blinded by the thousands, and they all described the horror of the attack in a similar fashion. They spoke of a tiny, smiling man wearing a green hat & smoking a large white pipe. He taunted them from behind trees and garden foliage, and when the people realized that he indeed was one of these fabled Leprachauns, they grabbed him & demanded their well-deserved gold.

Instead of handing it over, this particular Leprachaun instead gouged their eyes out with his pipe, leaving them flat broke & in a world of eternal darkness. Word of McPissy spread throughout the land, and all townsfolk were warned not to approach anyone below 2 feet tall, for fear that they may become the next victim of this wily Irish madman. Unfortunately, it was too late. Vowing to never be caught again, McPissy went on the offensive, attacking and blinding at will, unprovoked, and unmerciful.

Since this time, McPissy has circled the globe, assumably traveling as a stowaway on barges and carrier jets, blinding at will and still at large. No attempt to stop the tiny eyegouger has succeeded, and to this day, no one knows how or when this saga will end.
