The best thing about street fairs is that you can drink . . . outside . . . in the street.  And in Ireland, nothing says 'street fair' like a scary ten-foot-tall puppet walking around acting hammered.
--That's what a guy did recently in the Irish town of Dromore.  If you don't believe me, check it out on YouTube. 
--The puppet looks like a taller version of Statler and Waldorf, the old hecklers from "The Muppet Show".  Except with a severe drinking problem.
