Did Gulliver Go To Ireland? Or St. Louis?

Leprechaun Levitation

Lilliput, I am told, is far from the intersection of Tucker and Market in St. Louis. Still, this scene might remind one of Swift's fictional Englishman in the land of the tiny.

                               
Just re-arrange the costume a little. Maybe the tiny green figures in the street aren't Lilliputians but leprechauns.

Once Gulliver leaves the Lilliputians, leprechauns or whatever you want to call them, he might choose to skip Brobdingnag and seek the mysterious island of Budweiser.

  2. You've got a great eye - the comparison with Gulliver works for me too.

    Is the island of Budweiser surrounded by a sea of beer?
