It may come as a disappointment to learn that green beer and the four-leaf clover have nothing to do with the patron saint of Ireland

...and Easter has nothing to do with an anthropomorphic bunny laying colored eggs, Christmas has nothing to do with a fat guy sliding down chimneys, Halloween has nothing to do with kids dressing up as Harry Potter for free candy and Thanksgiving has nothing to do with having dinner with people who were scheduled for genocide. What is this guy's point?

What about irish working for italian mobsters?.

steve_s: I live in a town with two universities and somehow the young women of these fine institutions have managed to turn it into yet another slutty holiday.

... And this is a problem, how?.

WindBreaker: St. Patrick's Day, or as we regulars at O'Gara's Pub call it, "Amateur Night."

LOL That is what we call it too. New Years Eve also.

tgregory: now if we can just legalize pot and find a jamaican holiday to celebrate.

I believe that would be Ash Wednesday. Which appears to be a public Holiday in Jamaica.

You are a man-whore.

I've come to understand a few things in life:

1.- If you love what you do for a living, you never feel like it's work.
2.- There is no such thing as bad words, only misused words.
3.- Drink sparingly, but always of the good stuff.
4.- Sex is a wonderful thing.
5.- Be picky, not judgemental.
6.- When eating and drinking, always try things thrice: Once to try, second to confirm, third to remove any ounce of doubt you had the first two times.

syberpud: Sir Charles: I've been to Ireland twice, it's not a stereotype.

They made my rampant alcoholism look normal.

A pint with breakfast for ya?

and then they drink and fight and drink and fight. good thing they're all little farkers.

Agree, but what they were drinking made me sad: Becks, Budweiser and "alcho-pop" drinks. Mainly by the young looking to get drunk quickly for the least amount of money.

What we need is a Belgian holiday - mussels and beer for all!

Don't forget feather bowling, as well.

hobnail: Previously, St. Patrick's Day was a more sombre occasion when people were obliged to attend mass, abstained from liquor and spent time with family.

Yeah, right.

If that's true, they were spending time with their families suffering from withdrawals and having seizures.
