[Alf]

Lovely day for a Guinness !

[Fritz]

St. Patties? Is he the patron saint of the Big Mac?

[Celeval]

Erin go Braugh!

[ice4277]

Is anybody drunk yet? I know I'm not :(

[Easy Mac]

I'll be drunk about 15 minutes after my classes end at 2.

[rkmsuf]

I prefer to celebrate Evacuation Day...

What about New Years?

[Fritz]

Is St. Patty the patron saint of rich brats who join a psuedo terrorist movement after being kidnapped and brainwashed?

[sachmo71]

Everyone please be careful.

[Fritz]

[rkmsuf]

Everyone please be careful.

Yeah, no incoherent posting later on...

Lovely day for a Guinness !
Brilliant!

[Vince]

Keg of Guinness at my buddies house on St. Patrick's day: Priceless!

[k0ruptr]

no guiness here, have to settle for vodka and rum

[gi]

I'd kill for a Kilkenny or Caffery's right about now....Too bad US doesn't import them anymore and my passport application has my birth certificate so Canada crossing is out of the question...grrrrr.....

how much does a keg of Guinness go for anyway?

[KevinNU7]

About $150, typically they run for about $100 more the Budweiser around here

[Primal]

Yeah, for green beer.

[Butter]

I'll be drinking to everyone who needs to use a marginal holiday as an excuse to get drunk!

[Vince]

I think it's going to end up being about $180.00 - you have to get a special tap, and I think that alone is like a 30 or 40 dollar fee.

[Easy Mac]

ahh, just got out of a haircut (severely need) and downed 3 shots with my roommate... should I drive the mile to work or should I walk... eh, I'll walk just to be safe.

Too bad its so damn hard to find DD's on a college campus, none of us can go downtown because we all want to drink... Boondock Saints and the Leprechaun all nite baby@!

[JeeberD]

Everyone please be careful.
Two years ago tonight I got arrested for trespassing. It was a less than enjoyable experience.

You better believe I'll be careful today...

Most of the places around here don't give you a tank of Nitro to go with it, so why bother?

[Kodos]

Ahh, yes. The one day a year where bars across the land can dare to sell their old, green beer to customers without fear of complaints.

I make a point of NOT wearing green every St. Patrick's Day. What a worthless excuse for a holiday. I'd far prefer to have Wacking Day, like they do in Springfield. Did everyone bring their wacking sticks?

[Fritz]

i did not vote for kodos

[Kodos]

i did not vote for kodos

Nor did I. Getting elected is a great way to improve your chances of getting assassinated. :eek:

Well, my buddy's in charge of getting it all handled, and he said he was going to shell out for the Nitro tap. He's not the brightest crayon in the box, but I don't think he'd waste the extra charge if it really was useless. I haven't headed over there yet, so I don't know if he actually did it correctly or not.

[finkenst]

when did st. patrick's day become a big day to drink and get drunk? not that the typical american really has an excuse to do so..

I guess this year people could use it as an excuse to stay home tomorrow and catch alot of NCAA action.

[Critch]

I think it was right after Guinness realized what great marketing potential St Patricks day had.

Brilliant!

no love for love day?

[Chief Rum]

You guys are all Irish today.

I get to be Irish all year. :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Irish common law-- which knows no international boundaries--require every single person of Irish descent (to at least 1/16th) to be drinking the entire day from when you rise until you pass out?

I know I don't want to have the Irish authorities on me, so cheers to everyone! :)

BTW, if I am drinking a Bass (an English beer), is that treason? :)

CR

[Chief Rum]

no love for love day?

I have both Wacking Day and Love Day on my calendar. :)

May 9 and, I think, August 4. :)

ditto for me

yes.

you bloody traitor.

[thealmighty]

As someone of an actual Irish bloodline, do any of you hosers (threw that in for all the fine Irish Canadians) know what St. Patricks Day is actually supposed to be in celebration of (without using google, that is)?

Drinking and partying were the farthest things from the original point of the day.






Now, pass me a Killians, which is what any true Irishman/woman (stupid PC crap, that) should be indulging in. :D

[Craptacular]

I think the Irish were one of the few groups of Europeans my ancestors didn't boink.

[thealmighty]

They must not have liked the smell of potatoes.

[JeeberD]

Ahem.

My mother's maiden name is Doyle. You don't get much more Irish than that...

[Chief Rum]

My mother's maiden name is Cunningham. So, yeah, I think I'm in the ballpark of "Doyle". :)

CR

[McSweeny]

i think McSweeny has you both beat :)

[JeeberD]

Isn't that Scottish? Now if it was O'Sweeny....

Drinking and partying were the farthest things from the original point of the day.Wasn't it because it was the end of the potato famine?

I know the answer to this...but I can't seem to remember it, and for some reason potato famine seems wrong...maybe it's that it's 3 AM?

Edit: God do I hate the word potato.

St Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thealmighty]

St. Patrick was actually celebrated for bringing Christianity to Ireland. That is what, basically, he is credited as doing and why there is a holliday, which was originally a Catholic holy day, not a drunken orgy. March 17 is the day he died, btw.



As for the snake thing, there are no snakes native to Ireland, so I doubt there were any in or about 450ad for him to drive out. More likely he drove out the druids and pagans than the snakes.

[AgPete]

Considering I normally drink Guinness, St. Pattie's Day is the one day out of the year that I feel the beer drinking populace in our country has good taste. :)

[Desnudo]

About $150, typically they run for about $100 more the Budweiser around here

Holy molly that's a lot for a keg of beer.

[Desnudo]

When the first beer was brewed by Homo Habilis back in 1.6 Million BC.

There are no snakes native to Ireland because he drove them all out!


duh..
