'Morning, monkeys! Happy St Patricks Day to all you Irish folk! Anyone hammered yet? I wore a green striped shirt to work today but that was totally by accident. Didn't realize what day it was until I got to work.

Not too much on the agenda today. I've got a four hour meeting this afternoon. BOOOO!

Good Morning!!

KISS MY BLARNEY STONE!!! :D

It's a beautiful Spring morning here in central NC. Ahhh yea, St. Patty's Day....my wife and I met 11 years ago today. We've got the in-laws looking after Colin tonight so Justine and I can celebrate in style.

Had to go to dinner with the CEO last night. I can't think of anything more excruciating than 2 hrs with this guy, so I ordered the most expensive thing I could and drank 2 well-priced glasses of wine. :thumb:

Got home in time to check out "LOST" and "Southland" later on in the evening.

Happy Irish day everybody! I will be celebrating by stopping by the abc store, followed by a grocery store to stock up on needed beverages for tonight. Should be a good day...busy, but good.

Highs in the 60's here today so the only green work acceptable piece of clothing I have is a wool sweater so I'm not wearing anything green.

My grandma that married my polish grandpa was Irish. Well Irish and Italian she changed her name from Margret to Peggy to be more Irish in a coal mining town so the Molly McGuiers didn't target her/her family.

I have a lot of Irish heritage. My dad's lineage can be traced back all the way to Ireland (and a branch from Scotland too) to the 1400's. Yet I HATE St. Pattys day and the morons who celebrate it.

#1) Yet another holiday COMPLETELY bastardized by America.

#2) All the morons running around screaming "everyone is Irish on st. patty's day!". No. No you're not. If you're not Irish the other 364 days of the year, then you're not Irish on March 17th. You're no more Irish on St Patty's day than I am black during February (black history month).

#3) If you wanna celebrate St. Patty's day, do it the traditional way. Go to church, then spend time with your family, and have a big family dinner with them. To be REALLY traditional, DON'T EAT CORNED BEEF.

I have an Irish Pub on the corner, and I'm sure by this evening and a half day's of drinking it will be a target rich environment.

It would seem that some little leprechaun peed green in our toilet last night! Pics too!

And the sneaky booger left a box of Lucky Charms on the kitchen table and stitched a hole in our 6 year old's green dress in time for her to wear it to school today.

Last year, the bumbling little do gooder even left a trail of Lucky Charms from their bedroom to the kitchen table. But his clever little plot was derailed by a famished hound!

Who knew????

Morning monkeys. Took the van in for timing belt... of course they *strongly* recommend doing the water pump, access belts, and cam seals while they're in there... which bumps the cost up another 67%. Since I plan on keeping this things for another 200K miles I sucked it up. :D

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!! :cheers:

Do you really think that a lot of people from Ireland would have flown all the way to NYC just for a party? Or do you think that just maybe the people that wound up in NYC were the ones going to Dublin from other locations in the first place?

I don't care who celebrates St. Pattys day. Just don't parade yourself around as Irish if you're really not. :bonk:

Pretty tired this morning for my ride to work. Since the time changed our local Hammerfest Tuesday night rides are on. They are lovingly called Tuesday Night Worlds because the level of talent that show up is ridiculous. It was the first one and there were probably 40 guys and then me. hahahha, nice odds huh? I dug reeeeeeealy deep on a few points of the ride and today my knee is pretty pissed off but I made it.

So it was just thousands of people with realistic-sounding fake Irish accents that flooded the city?

...My dad's side is Scotch/Irish. Mom's side is English.

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. :thumb:)

that's why we drink it here
I have the day off today. I forgot what today was but woke up drunk anyways. Does that qualify? I don't think I want to drink any more than I already have.

ROFL @ JK telling people to go to church. You surf 4chan. There is no way you are that religious.
Rabble rabble green beer. Who cares if it's a crap holiday popularized by alcohol companies. Nobody with Irish ancestors is really Irish. You're an American with a skin pigment deficiency. That's about it.
Lighten up for FSM's sake.
