jk on a soapbox. You really can't take that too seriously.I'd like to put a suggestion out on the floor that we have a do-over for the GMT this morning. This one has spun entirely out of control.
~~ St Patty's GMT ~~
- Thread starter I Are Baboon
- Start date
beats me, I wasn't there, and I wasn't gonna make that assumption. Did you go around asking every single one of them where they were from?
So are you "Irish", as in willing to celebrate St. Patty's day? Because technically you're an American mutt, just like the rest of us. Unless you're talking about your heritage, in which you're Irish, I'm Irish, and probably 90% of the people on the East coast are "Irish".
(although a fun fact of genealogy, I'm also descended from Edward I of England, so I can celebrate my Irish heritage while also p!ssing on the Scots at the same time.)
Unless you're FOTB, you're almost certainly a mutt. FWIW my Irish come's from my dad's side, and he is 3rd generation Irish American, making me and my sister 4th. We figured it out once, my sister and I are something like 40% Irish. (there's a little bit from my mom's side too, but her side is predominantly English). We still carry the Anglicized version of our Scotch/Irish (Gaelic) surname.
Happy St.Patty's day!
I just got back from Ciudad De Mexico last night, 80's and sunny the whole week I was there!!

Went through the drive through ATM last night, then proceeded to put my cash/debit card in the little tray on the floor console of my Jeep. Get home to see the cash was there, but the card had slid between the floor/dash console down onto of the transmission/TC area of the body. Spent 30 minutes ripping apart my console to get to it, finally fishing it out. Ironically, not only did I retrieve mine with a pair of 8" needle nose pliers, but also the previous owners debit card which fell to the same spot.
It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

I think you're just in a bad mood since the parade organizers have again banned you from marching down 5th ave with your rainbow banners.
Since I am Irish and don't drink anymore. i am going to a meeting. Then I am going to collect my overdue rent, maybe If I have time I will stop by the projects and rip off a few Heroin dealers before i have to go to the bank. Happy St Patricks day everyone, BANG BANG!!!!
you were doing really well there, but then you had to play the fag joke didn't you (and a poor one at that).
Mornin' and Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'll be celebrating with a few pints of Guiness and a big family dinner (missed Church this am though -- sorry Jon 
) I voted for Shepard's Pie, but it's Corned beef etc. Oh well...makes for awesome leftover sandwiches on Thursday!!! Syd's in a huge stubborn fit-throwing mood...gave Sq-Earl grief for a half hour last night and gave me grief this morning too (apparently I deal a little better...it was only 10 minutes for me). I will break her of this habit but boy do I hate hate hate taking away all of her privileges

Woohoo. Great GMT today! I have my favorite shirt on, so it's a good day.
Never ceases to amaze me how all you Americans go crazy for Paddys day. A patty is something spongebob makes in the crusty krab. I use it as an excuse to stay in bed until noon and laze around all day.
If any Irish folk make fun of Americans for celebrating today, we can just remind them that we are in the World Cup and they aren't. 
Fixed.
It was always my thought that this celebration in the U.S. was really about a celebration of the rise of the Irish "status" in America from being pretty lowly (and that's saying it nice) to that of a more positive or valued social status, and not the whole "driving the snakes out of Ireland" stuff. Or at least that's what the sociologist in me says.
Morning. Not much time to type, drinking. Will continue trying to satiate my 25% Irish heritage. Chances of success: minimal.
That is all.
That is all.
Have you seen why?If any Irish folk make fun of Americans for celebrating today, we can just remind them that we are in the World Cup and they aren't.
We have real Guinness too.
Wow, you really are in a bad mood today. Enjoy your quiet reflection time with the family at church tonight, I'll lift a very non-Irish stout at the local brewery in your honor.you were doing really well there, but then you had to play the fag joke didn't you (and a poor one at that).
you won't catch me dead in a church.
I have British heritage. Does that allow me to starve, beat and foreclose the homes of the Irish on St. Patrick's day.I'm calling BS on pretty much this entire post. I was in NYC when hoof-n-mouth disease canceled the St. Patty's Day parade through Dublin, and got to experience the influx of drunk Irish partiers who came to NY instead. It seemed like they fit right in with the drunk "Irish" Americans in stumbling from Irish bar to Irish bar...
But I do agree that you have to actually BE Irish to celebrate St. Patty's day. And thankfully I qualify, since I'm officially Irish, a whole ONE EIGHTH!! One of my ancestors came over from Ireland in the 1820s, and thankfully the Irish gene is the dominant kind. Woohoo, time to start drinking!!
you forgot "ignore toothpaste"
Morning everyone!
Had a great day yesterday. I was a aircraft discrepancy correcting machine yesterday, it was warm, flight crews were unusually friendly, and even the baggage gorillas managed to not fvck anything up yesterday. Went for a warm sunny spring ride at Palmer park after work, topped the evening off with burgers and hash browns and Tequila Sunrises.
This morning is also shaping up to be a winner, slept in, took the daughter to her PT appointment which went very well, the went out for breakfast and coffee. Had way too much coffee though since I don't drink it very often and I am officially freaking out.
Corned Beef, cabbage, and beer tonight with friends. So fvck you Jonkranked!

Bitch please, its strawberry blond.
But I am 'Mericun. Oppressive evil tendencies of my ancestors with modern dental care and a strong sense of entitlement.
Regular updates pls!! Pee Wees is a great age group...
I don't have much room too talk. I tried to grow a beard once, I wound up with red chin pubesBitch please, its strawberry blond.
Mmmm beer tonight.
So, in reveiw, I find that JK is an angry leprechaun...those Irish among us will surely forgive him, as this is the one day a year our heritage is noted. Even if it is noted by idiots looking for an excuse to drink, noted is noted...
May 5 is coming...everyone is Mexican then. Who will complain?

St Patricks isn't a holiday about drinking. The Irish already have a day for that... everyday.
following this logic we're all black during February.
Yeah, I never needed an excuse to drink. After age 23 or so, St Paddys Day just turned into amatuer night at the bahhh...kind of like New Years Eve.St Patricks isn't a holiday about drinking. The Irish already have a day for that... everyday.

Hows come they get a whole month, when we get one day?
We take the ice at 7:25 tonight. I'll post an update when I get home from Norwich, CT at about 10 pm or so.
Go Stars!!!!
That too.
In my house that's EVERY night.
i spent my st. patricks day the best way possible for myself dh with dirtymike and HAB . now i'm in the process of getting trunk .
.
Today is the first weekly dirt crit of the year. I'm getting old and my legs are already tired for the week. Going to get my ass kicked. Gone are my glory days.
That's the spirit!
A little kid just went pedaling by my house on his little bike. He has officially ridden more than me in the last four months.
you had glory days?
i think he got confused with "glory holes"
In that case, that is sad.
Yoda?
