Grasshopper grasshopper scoot!

Happy St. Urho's Day! St. Urho, of course, was that heroic Finlander who drove away the locusts with his pitchfork while shouting, "Heinasirkka, heinasirkka, menetaalta hiiten." But perhaps you haven't heard of him. That's understandable; there are many naysayers who claim that Minnesota Finns cooked up this character just so they could tap into the green beer a day before the Irish. As one who considers himself to be more of a Minnesota Finn than anything else, I'll take pride in either version.
