HALIFAX, N.S.— Rory McCarthy, an Irish student at the University O’King’s College has recently been searching for the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and the search has come to an unexpected end.
McCarthy was shocked to discover at the end of the rainbow, there was not a pot of gold but rather a gay club under the name Gold Star.
“I was wearing my suspenders and had my clover in my pocket walking around an area of town I’d never been in before, and there was a rainbow on every building, and I just knew it was my lucky day. Then there it was, beneath several rainbows was the Gold Star gay bar,” McCarthy told The Mackerel.
“Not a single gold coin in the place. Only a lot of boys kissing. This happens every time. Bottoms was playing on every TV in the bar though, so I at least found comedy gold,” said McCarthy.
The bar’s owner, Gabe Mann, was unsurprised by the mixup, stating it is a frequent occurrence.
“We call them O’Twinkies. Every couple of months an Irish boy comes in looking for a pot of gold, at first I thought they were looking for a brand of poppers, but when I asked if he was more of a top or a bottom and he said ‘Top o’the morning to you too,’ I caught on pretty quickly,” Mann told The Mackerel.
