Draw a pint of Guinness and smoke a Henry Clay for Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus. :tu

I get the references but I don't know what Bloomsday is.

shameless wiki rip-off:

Bloomsday is a commemoration observed annually on June 16th in Dublin and elsewhere to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and relive the events in his novel Ulysses, all of which took place on the same day in Dublin in 1904. Joyce chose the date because his first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle happened on that day, when they walked to the Dublin urban village of Ringsend. The name derives from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses.

Thomas, I was barely able to get thru "Penthouse" back in the day, much less a weighty tome such as this!

Yeah, it's awfully hard to read a big thick book when you're only using one hand. :r
