Here's To It

[Delhommey]

Today is a day when the whole of Ireland goes out to the pub and drinks themselves into a stupor. In Irish, they call it "an Chéadaoin" or as it's better known in English, "Wednesday."

Have a shot of Jimmy on me.

Sláinte!

Listening to the story about st patricks day on the radio, they said that its more of a family holiday and that up until the 70's, most pubs in Ireland were closed today.

When I lived up North it was just a huge party day in the 70's. My dad would generally get pretty blitzed with his buddies and there was a huge parade.

In Charlotte and now that I'm older I don't really think about it too much even though I was almost named Sean Patrick by my mom....

COVER ME IN GUINNESS AND THROW ME TO THE IRISH LESBIANS!!!!!

Listening to Philly Sports radio this morning they were broadcasting from an Irish Pub in the city. Place was noisy and packed with people getting plowed.........this was at 8am. Why to keep the stereotype alive Irish Piladelphians!!!!!

what's so special about the Irish anyway?

[cookinwithgas]

Well we grow a mean potato and like to drink. We think that the Brits are invaders and chicks dig our accents.

That's about it, so we really need this day, thanks.

[Hawk]

don't get me wrong, I like the Irish...just not sure why we need a St. Patricks day is all.

We don't get our kids to wear Sobreros to school on Cinqo de Mayo....or wave white flags on French Independance day...why the green for the Irish...come on....I need to know damn it

[Delhommey]

A higher percentage of Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo than Mexicans.

It's a very regional holiday there.

This town gets all nutty today.

When they canceled the South Side Irish festivities in favor of more "family friendly" activities, I expected a riot.

No one can be offended by St.Pat's day. Being born on this day is awesome because everywhere I go I see my name and people throwing down.
