St. Patrick's Day!

Recommended Posts

I love St. Patrick's Day! Everyone's Irish for one day! What's your favorite part of the commercialization of it? I think my favorite has to be the Shamrock Shakes. One year, I had a shake every afternoon for lunch!

I have to miss the big ol' parade again this year, but I get to go to a "Paint the river black" party with kegs of Guinness. Anyone else have any cool plans?

I live in Dublin so need i say much more?

We have a month long celebration every year. I just wish I could have talked one of the balloon pilots into letting me jump when they took off. [:/] Everyone has green everything here for this month.

I used to live in Dublin, too. But it was in New Hampshire and there were no bars. WTF was up with that? ;)

I go to Irish bars quite a bit. Unfortunately, St Pat's day is the one day of the year I cannot physically get inside an Irish pub. They're all packed with people, & more are lined up outside the door! (Anyone else notice this problem??)
Nothin' to do but get some draft Guinness at the liquor store & head home.:P

In some places St Pat's day is also the day you get the "amateur drinker" effect, same as on New Years Eve. People who don't know their limits & can't hold their liquor suddenly get REALLY fuked up & start throwing up or even starting fights. They oughta leave the drinking to us experienced, D-licensed professionals.;)

Then I realized it was the same old beer we always drank with green food coloring in it


Shoot....you just broke my heart like when I heard there was no Santa Claus:P

Now that sounds like a good time and a great idea! Someone getting paid to be the dd for lots of drunk jerks!

Personally, I think they should make the day after St Patty's Day a holiday.


Another darn good idea!

I am Irish, grew up in Kingston (just north of Limerick) so I am a firm believer in "Kiss me I'm Irish"

One of my son's b.day is St. Patrick's Day. When he was younger he thought all the celebration was for him. I'm sure once he's of the legal drinking age, he'll be out to all the bars having a good ole time.

I'll probably just go to a local bar. Never was big on the green beer or anything like that. I save being green for the next day at work.
