My bike leprechaun
So for the past few month I have been having issues with the tire on my bike. It has had a slow leak in it for months. The thing is that the problem is very sporadic (who the hell made the word look like something about fungi). Some days the tire will stay inflated for a full day and the next it will be flat in an hour. The thing is that I would replace the inner tube every three or four weeks and the same thing would happen all over again. I finally realized the truth. There is a leprechaun that keep deflating my tire. I thought that I would test this idea and I set a trap one day after I locked up my bike. In the afternoon when I returned I found that I had indeed caught myself a leprechaun.
Well needless to say the thing was pissed. So I did what I thought best. I gave him a beer.
After a few round I we got to talking I found that his name was Roberto (he is a Latino leprechaun). So I ask Roberto "Why, the hell, do you keep deflating my bike tire?" Roberto turns to me with a glassy eyes look of liquid induced joy and slurs in his mix of Irish and Spanish accents "You, freckn' airs, you ran over my bloody wife with that God forsaken thing." I was completely taken aback my this I had no idea. "Man, I'm sorry is there any thing I can do for you?" Roberto took another swill from the little bottle that looked far to large in his hands. "Ah, your a good kid but I'm going to keep deflating your tire." I found that I could not argue with the man. So we toasted to air and went back to drinking.
"Hey, Roberto, aren't leprechaun's suppose to have a lot of gold or something."
"Freckn' bipeds."
"Hey, you are a biped to."

Repost because I fail at blog buttons:
Spore comes from the Latin (comes from the Greek) word for "seed". Apparently fungi and Latin go together.
Sporadic comes from the same word, through this sort of chain of reasoning:
seed -> sow -> scattered -> symptoms occurring in "scattered" intervals -> anything happening at irregular intervals
Also, next time you see Roberto you should tell him hi for me, from another Irish-Mexican.
