Congratulations to the winners!
They are all male. What's up with that? The dudes need some lady friends. (Or pretty soon there won't be any more leprechauns!)
Thanks for the leprechaun lesson! I didn't know you had to keep eye contact with them. I'll remember that if I ever run across one.
I feel prepared now if I ever meet up with a leprechan. congratulations to the winners.
They are sneaky little snots!
Love # 10 but I'm biased to fairies. :) Thanks for posting.
Congratulations book winners.
Now, I am all prepared in case I run into Leprechauns. I met a couple once but I didn't know what to say.
Wonderful weekend to ya.
I laughed when I saw the picture with this post. My family has a thing with gnomes-- it's kind of an inside joke with us, and I have a few of the tackiest I could find in my front garden. The other day in Walmart they had.. wait for it.. a bobblehead gnome! I covet it. :)
Congrats to the winners!
No females? No wonder leprechauns are so grumpy. :P
As Alex pointed out, if all leprechauns are male, where do little...er, littler...leprechauns come from?
Okay, I knew like, only one of those facts. That's really kind of cool. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations to book winners!
Someone must have figured out how to command the little guys cause I see them in gardens everywhere. Hmmm.
Congrats to the winners. I like leprechauns :)
Alex - I found little information about that. And what I found was conflicting.
Linda G - They can vanish in the blink of an eye.
Delores - I did my job, LOL!
Diane - I almost blew coffee through my nose.
Summer - My pleasure :)
Congrats to the winners!
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
I didn't realize it was a rule that they had to tell the truth! Good to know in case I catch one.
Congrats to the winner! So, how exactly do Leprechaun's reproduce then if they're all male...?
Drat! I knew I shouldn't have taken that coin from that guy I thought was a midget in green.... :)
Manzie - Preparation is the key :)
Julie - I just saw that I need to go in and tag that photo as coming from morgueFile. I chose it because legend says leprechauns used to dress in red, so I picked one with a red hat.
Luanne - Exactly!
LD - *Shrugs* Dunno. Glad I'm a regular human :)
Linda K - Amazing the facts a little research uncovers :)
St. Patrick's Day was my dad's birthday; thus, his nickname was Pat. He was no Irish leprechaun.
Love,
Janie
If they are all male, how do we get more of them? Happy St. Pat's Day!
Cute list! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Carol. :)
Congrats to the book winners. I'm always careful around leprechauns because they'll suck you in if they can, to the exclusion of all else!
No lady leprechauns? Life seems so unfair.
The gnome cracked me up! I should go find one and start talking to it. You never know if a faerie is trapped inside.
Leprechauns can be trouble! Nice list!
I never thought about leprechauns always being male if they are all male how do they make baby leprechauns......lol
Begorrah!!!! Happy St Paddy's Day to you too lol
I love this. When my oldest was little, she got up one night out of the blue and said she was terrified of the leprechauns. Trophy hubby built "invisible" traps to catch them.
I think we can make up anything we want to about the little buggers. It seems fitting!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Carol!
I'm running a little behind today. But I'll catch up!
Sia - The Leprechaun King :)
Rachna - Cool!
Southpaw - Happy St. Paddy's all around!
Johanna - Watch out for tricks, though!
DWei - If anyone knows, they're not telling :)
Congratulations to the winners.
Given how tricky leprechauns are, I don't think the possibility of some cross-dressers can be ruled out. And, if they thought they had fooled you, the laughter would be loud and long.
Love this top 10. :)
Oh, come on, there are lady leprechauns! They're just a wee bit shy is all. And busy... because they're back home in their hollow tree (or is that Keebler elves?) brewing up a mighyt fine batch of Irish whiskey. (See, the mister isn't really grumpy. He's got a hangover.)
Congrats to the winners. I honestly didn't know I knew so little about SPD!
Susan said that the lady leprechauns are brewing Irish whiskey, so where do Shamrock Shakes come from?! Great list Carol, and congrats to the winners! Happy St Patrick's Day!
Julie
Yes! You're not even supposed to blink! Too many stories end with the heaps of gold turning to leaves...
Love that little light bearer photo, too. :)
Congrats to the book winners!
Great leprechaun list! Cute creatures...
What about the lady lepries?
Mark - Live and learn.
Janie - We have a St. Paddy's birthday in our family, too.
Liza - Maybe cloning is their family secret?
Julie - Happy St. Paddy's!
Gwen - Can't be too careful :)
So leprechauns are always male, huh? Then how do they get new, baby leprechauns? Hmm...
Congrats to the winners.
I want to see that pot of gold.
Laura - Jezebel will know :)
Elizabeth - Beware the leprechaun!
Jo-Anne - Play Dough and an Easy Bake Oven?
CATachresis - Happy St. Paddy's back!
Kelly - Invisible traps! Love it :)
Elephant's Child - I may hear them tee-heeing in the bushes outside my window now :)
Melissa - Thanks!
Susan - So the female leprechauns are whiskey makers keeping the menfolk happy :)
Clarissa - Amazing, right?
Julie - Shamrock Shakes...shaky shamrocks?
Raquel - The little buggers are quite cunning :)
Michelle - No one knows for sure about the ladies, but rumors are flying!
Lexa - Fairy dust and magic?
Medeia - So do I!
yes, if they're always male where do the wee ones come from? Or aren't there any? And if so, does this mean that there's an ever diminishing number of leprechauns?
I want one!! But in pink, please, thank you! Take care

Hi Carol!
Congratulations to the winners.
I feel prepared now if I ever meet a leprechan.
Old Kitty - Charlie and Gumtree would make your Pink Leprechaun earn every bit of his gold, LOL!
Nas - Excellent :)
Oops ... Missed Ms. Hatch. Sorry. Got distracted and that was that. I believe there's a grand coverup. Or they're lying :)
