Today is Saint Patrick’s Day. So Congratulations to the Irish, and all the almost-Irish, which covers everybody else. A happy sense of belonging is good for everyone.
Erin Go Bragh, say We Rhinos (If We ever said anything).

I hear music…
Sometimes We Rhinos get an old tune playing in our heads or rumble seats and just enjoy it.
Whyever not?
MarRrRrrrrrRrch
In the spirit of the season, ‘Your Inner Rhino’ salutes the unpredictable March Weather We Rhinos often encounter, this time of year.
Please do not be alarmed, as this image is not a Lion, but one of Us imitating a Lion.
“Grrrrrrr”, is our line (or lion, heh, heh.)
Free Enterprise
This is Sadie Hawkins Day, so, Ladies, do your Thing.
What happens on Sadie Hawkins Day, stays with Sadie Hawkins Day.
(Try not to leave any marks.)
Going… Going… Gone.
Rhinos are fond of a little something Sweet, and often. No shame there. Just innocent wickedness.
Also, our aim is pretty good once We get inspired.
Ask Anybody.
February 14!
L’amour, L’amour!
Rhinos are a sentimental species. Why deny it?
Two Toes x 2
Today is National Chop Sticks Day. Chop Sticks are those skinny sticks you eat with. Rhinos are not good with these utensils, mostly because they don’t pick up enough on a single swipe. We are not Dainty Diners.
Today also seems a good time for YIR to salute Ms. Euphemia Amelia Nightingale Allen, who wrote the composition for piano popularly known as Chop Sticks. That was in 1877, when she was 16 years old. It was Ms. Allen’s first and last published work.
Few Rhinos excel at the piano, mostly because the keys are too narrow. There may be other limitations, but one is all it takes..
Groundhog Day & friends
Today in Bee Cave, Texas, We celebrate the predictions of Bee Cave Bob, the Armadillo. Using his own exotic system, Bob will inform the people at the West Pole how to plan their Springtime. And when.
This makes a lot of sense, since Punxsutawney Phil, a real groundhog, is dealing with Pennsylvania and its sphere of influence. (See Dec. 29, 2019.) Bee Cave Bob is working with a region 1,500 miles away, so there might logically be a difference in the reckonings.
Thank you, Bee Cave Bob, for your contribution to Meteorology.
Striking Oyl!
One Hundred Years ago today (!), Mr. Elzie C. Segar introduced Castor Oyl to his cartoon strip, Thimble Theatre. Castor was the older brother of Olive Oyl, and son to Cole and Nana Oyl.
It was not until nine years later that Popeye the Sailor made his first appearance in the same strip, sweeping Olive Oyl off her feet.
If you thumb back to December 9, 2019, you will see that YIR has dealt with Mr. Segar before. Rhinos everywhere are still chuckling.
near the Old Pear Tree
Many of our YIR Readers can count past three (unlike ourselves), so We made inquiries. We are reliably informed that the song, ‘The Twelves Days of Christmas’, has a loyal following.
Due to prior commitments We have been unable to focus on this carol, until today, which is the 11th Day of Christmas.
And here, in honor of the occasion, is a Piper Piping.
