A St. Paddy’s-ready reader on the Coast wants to make sure we don’t miss MS Public Safety Director Steve Simpson in his incarnation as King of Biloxi’s Hibernia Marching Society parade (which happens this Saturday afternoon). He shares the honor with Tulane-senior Meghan Elizabeth Delaney of Ocean Springs as Colleen.
Erin go bragh, King Steve

I think that should be the standard uniform for all elected officials in Mississippi.
Naaaaah … the uniforms are too dignified ….
Speaking of Erin go bragh , here’s the utube from last years post to get the heart pumpin and feet stompin!

Steve is a fine person and will do a great job in his position. This ridicule here seems a bit over the top and unnecessary.
Come on, afotl-4, anyone who wears a white tux with matching top hat & shoes, green vest/bowtie combo with a sash inspired by Ireland’s flag is asking for a bit of ridicule….nothing personal, but Simpson could learn a thing or two about St. Patrick’s Day fashion from Jackson’s Malcolm “Mal” White.
Whoa, guys. Y’all have to realize that St Patrick Day parades on the Coast are more akin to Mardi Gras parades than to traditional St Patrick Day parades. Exaggerated or even satirical attire is commonplace, if not frankly encouraged. I know Steve Simpson, and Steve knows what he’s doing, and understands the nature of the celebration. Lighten up a little.
afotl 4, WHAT ridicule? The only ones catching it that I see are the standard “all elected officials in Mississippi.”
I know you’ve got a sense of humor down in there somewhere. Seems to me a remember a flash or two of it in times past. What better time to break it out than St. Paddy’s?
For those of you giving me lord Simpson a hard time for his tradional garb on ye this day of honor for the perple of the Emerald Isle I say;
Imeacht gan teacht ort.
Titim gan éirí ort.
Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat.
For those of ye that are blood bothers or want to prentend to be for the day I say:
Bail ó Dhia is Mhuire duit
