Is too much Bilge Pumps a bad thing or a good thing? It was tough to tell through the haze of green beer surrounding Griff's St. Patrick's Day Festival, but we added our own touch of insanity to the proceedings. At least, enough to make the drunk college students wonder if we were just a hallucination or not when they woke up the next morning.

The Bilge Pumps are back at Griff's... and the audience could care less.

This becomes the first show that Sharkbait and Blue appear on the stage at the same time. See? They're really not the same person.

The Bilge Pumps go through maybe their most grueling sound check to date... to no avail.

Harvey and John try to implore the crowd to get into the whole drunken pirate spirit... to no avail.

Then, John Crow tries his best Joe Cocker impersonation... to no avail.

When that doesn't work, John tries to strip... to no avail.

When in doubt, make believe a didjeridu is a giant bong... oh now they start paying attention.

Maroon gives a salute to der fuherer... Heil Bush!

Blue and Sharkbait both have to laugh when Maroon discovers how to count to two.

Either Maroon is crying for Charlie Mops, or he's about to lick Harvey's ear.

Never interrupt a man who is doing pelvic thrusts with a drum strapped to his crotch.

Sharkbait finally has to learn to dance on "Johnny Jump Up".

In the meantime, Blue finally figures out how to get some rhythm on the tan tan.

These unlucky souls get to be the first victims of the new "Sailor's Hornpipe" series of dances.
