Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I ain't Irish, but it's one of my favorite days of the year.

Maybe because it's the biggest drinking day of the year.

And do to that, I am staying home tonight and resting up for the big day tomorrow.

Two shifts of drinking.

Hopefully I will get into to the Irish Pub at about 1PM tomorrow where there will be live music, food and drink.

I will stay there until 4-5PM.

Go home. Eat. Drink Water. Maybe catch a nap.

And then head back out at about 9PM for round two.

A great great day here in Boulder and around the world.

Thank you.

Wait, it's St Patrick's? Since when?

Hang on, it's Friday?

Happy St. Pat's to you, too chaostitan!

kiss me I'm Irish!

But only by injection.

I forgot smilies

I wear green and drink every year, and I'm Chinese.

It's all good . . . Patrick was a Welshman, anyway

Well there ya go, I know there's a Welshman hangin' in my family tree somewhere...Cheers!!



My BIL puts on a big bash every year ... complete with the best corned beef and cabbage I've ever had and yes, green beer. My job is to bring the hard liquor.
And Jello shots.

Happy day to all who celebrate. Be safe, be smart, enjoy the craic and the tunes!
By the way, if it's a good pub they won't have green beer or those stupid shite shamrocks drawn in the Guinness foam.

This day is such a spectacle in this country.

I swear to God if someone comes up to me tomorrow and says, "Oh, you're Irish! I am too!" in a fake, Lucky Charms accent and then tries to pinch me because I'm not fekkin' wearing green, I'm gonna kick 'em in the ding-ding.

I'll raise my shot of Jameson's to the good saint, drive by the church (but won't go in ), stop by my old pub and have a pint, kick up the old tunes and have a laugh...But I won't wear any shamrock antennae-deelybobber things, say any form of the phrase, "Top O' the mornin' to ya," or answer any questions about the "troubles".

The "Kiss me I'm Irish" shirt is right out.

am i supposed to feel particularly irish today?

last night i thought maybe i'd drink something.... but i drank a budweiser

just now, i put on the dubliners, then realised i'm in the mood for down home blues..

i'm going to town in a suit, and if anybody invades my person with a ridiculous accent or some green plastic, well i might lash out with my pure irish hands.

ah well ah well, it should be a good day. i suppose anyone watching the news will be seeing footage from dublin, but we get the 2nd best parade here down south, so watch for me just in case.


i'm going to take a shower...

Green beer all around!

Well, maybe not right now . . . it's 5:00 o'clock in the morning.

I'm 1/4th Irish, My daughter 1/8th, my grandson 1/16th. Those Italians are bleeding the green out of us.

Irish and Italians, huh? I'm sure get-togethers at your house are stoic affairs . . .

Worse: Italian, Irish, and Brit.

come out ye black and tans, kapeish?

I wish I was in America 'cause they know how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day proper. I'm a wee Irish girl in England and I doubt that I'll hear any drunken Irish songs here. Oh well!

1/4 Irish, 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 English, 1/4 Slovak. I love to fight with myself, argue about why I'm fighting with myself, then go buy myself a drink to get over it all. (KIDDING, by the way. I love my heritage!)

I can do a passing-well Irish accent, although it tends to take on some Scottish qualities that my cousins from Inverness call 'cute'. Believe me, I bow to the masters, and will listen for hours to anyone speaking with a proper accent.

I celebrate because its a part of who I am. I don't drink green beer, but I'll do a shot of Bushmills with anyone who asks!

Head over to Cheltenham - it's Gold Cup weekend...

My daddy's Irish, so in honor of him, I'll switch to the Black Label for the weekend.

Have a great day - and stay safe!

Dang it, Foinah, you spoiled all of my Irish-themed surprises I had planned for you!

I'm going to go watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People and sulk in my Harps. But first Irn Bru! The breakfast of champions!

I don't have a drop of Irish in me (1/2 Danish, 1/2 German) but today is one of my favorite days of the year...and I don't even drink beer. I figure I'll just do shots of Apple Pucker all evening...it's green. And I'll dig my favorite St Patty's day shirt out of the closet for tonight. It says, "Kiss me, I'm Irish today."

I marched in the NY Saint Pat's Day parade around 1997. My boss was elected grand Marshall by the NYCTA Emerald Society (I think there's a grand Marshall for each group, then a grand Marshall of the whole parade.) It was fun--especially after the parade.
