Drunk Dial Entries: 2008 "Not enough Irish to paint an M&M green..."

2008 Winners

Well that’s it folks, all the calls have come in and at least fifty times people were able to see through a foggy alcoholic haze and dial the number. The 2008 St. Patrick’s Day Drunk Dial is over.

Before you scroll to the winners, first we would like to thank the following people: Crystal for her beautiful voice which lead to so many drunken people swooning over her in messages, the co-judges Mike and Ed for their patience in listening to sometimes mindless ravings, Joanna Stern of Laptop Magazine for picking up the story and Jeff Gilhooly of CBC for broadcasting us in Newfoundland.

We also want to thank you all, every one of you who phoned or visited the web site. We especially appreciate all the messages that were left over the three day period. Well done.

If you didn’t win, you have a year of drunken dialing to practice. We’ll leave the number open and if you want to practice, leave us a message, if it’s funny we might publicize it. Remember 2009 is only 3650 pints away, give or take a liver!

This year we thought we would invite the august Saint Patrick himself to judge your entries. He sat in our living room, miter in hand, a pint in another and regaled us with comments. So without further ado, let the Saint pass judgement…

WARNING: Many entries contain explicit language and graphic descriptions. Most are not suitable for children.

Saint Patrick decided to split the prize into two portions…

Grand Prize Winner – Bottle of Newfoundland Screech Rum

A fairy tale from Chicago, a toast to the great Saint, sent in from Honokaa, Hawaii by Dan Niederloh. He phoned after a 6 pack of Guinness and some Bushmills while being egged on by his children, whom he obviously raised well. The Saint salutes your original composition! Listen to Dan

Second Prize Winner – (Ad revenue of ummm about $15)

Yes, the good Saint honestly had to give himself a prize. He felt his call, as voiced by Craig Welsh of Nunavut, Canada deserved the money that he so eloquently requested. Apparently being a saint doesn’t pay the bills these days. Listen to Craig

St Patrick is honoured

St. Patrick is calling Child Protection Services

  • Omaha Nebraska, USA (402)
    - If mommy and daddy are too drunk to phone the drunk dial and their child does it, is it a drunk dial? The rules never considered this eventuality.
  • St. Phillips, NL, Canada (709)
    - Drs. McKim, having your mother call also does not constitute a drunk dial (We love you Mary!).

St. Patrick would share a pint with you

St. Patrick is having Andrew and Karin’s (Nebraska) number blocked

  • Karin 1
    Andrew 1

  • Andrew
    - St. Patrick says, yes, he can see the number…

  • Andrew
    - St. Patrick was happy this was the final call, he was about to call the police.

St. Patrick Thinks These People Need More Practice

St. Patrick may be divine but he can’t read your mind

St. Patrick wonders why these people left the phone off the hook
