Karri Peifer, arts and entertainment writer

Mobile, Alabama's TV news team
The classic, and my favorite, YouTube clip proves that if there's a potential leprechaun sighting, no matter how far-fetched, they're on it. "I wan da gold!"

Oil
If I were a leprechaun, I'd trade my gold for oil.

Kent Jennings Brockwell
If Richmond.com's associate editor's recent Top 5s are any indication, you might find him at the end of a rainbow … passed out, face down in a pot of beer.

An adult, professional woman dressed up like a theme park
Every office has one … an adult woman who uses minor holidays as an excuse to dress like a third-grade teacher on speed. Dressed in green from head to toe, sporting buttons with kissing slogans and, if she's really dedicated, donning painted shamrocks on every visible inch of flesh. Our's name is Christie, what's yours?

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy in a hot tub
What did you expect? You followed a rainbow in search of gold.

Josh Katz, movie and restaurant reviewer

Missing left socks
They're not in the couch, and they're not stuck behind the hamper. I'm thinking that creepy, foot-loving leprechaun squirreled them away over the rainbow.

The Lollypop Guild
They used to be over the rainbow, but after contracting diabetes from eating all that candy, they had to go to the free clinic at the end of the rainbow. Lovely place, I’m told.

Mike Huckabee's political momentum
Because the end of the rainbow is a magical place, and let's face it: charm and sensible politics didn't get Huckabee as far as he got. Rainbow magic did. That and hatred of Mitt Romney.

Violent death
You're not the only one wants that Irish gold. Dollars to donuts says you find some crazed, Humphrey-Bogart-in-"The-Treasure-of-Sierra-Madre"-type fortune seeker who’d just as soon brain you and then bury you half-conscious in a shallow grave than share the wealth.

Jimmy Hoffa
What? It's St. Paddy's Day and I'm drunk. People have thought crazier things.

Dionne Waugh, news writer

Free gas
Because by this time next week, I won't be able to afford driving anywhere.

Girl power
How about a woman who will not only leave her politician husband when he's publicly humiliated her, but publicly calls him on the carpet for his stupidity?

An IOU from a leprechaun
Because by that time I'm sure the little munchkin would've spent it all.

A new lung for Associate Editor Kent Brockwell
Because at the rate and depth he's coughing, I'd be surprising if he has any internal organs left.

My memory
I've been writing notes on my hand since I was 12. Where did my memory go? I'm only 28. Now who are you again?

Christie Newman, office manger

A leprechaun
Aren't they usually next to the pot–o–gold?

Green beer
Wishful thinking?

A four-leaf clover
They bring good luck and hopefully will lead to the missing pot-o-gold!

Kisses!!
Whether you are Irish or not, everyone wants a reason to lock lips!

Van Halen
Since they keep canceling their show in Charlottesville, can they meet me at the end of the rainbow?
