My Minnesotan family and I just hopped on a tour bus in Savannah full of drunken southerners. Impressive pregaming, but this turned out to be a pretty stupid stop for our spring break trip.

I don't have any problems with drinking, but this kind of holiday pushes me into full on NO FUN ALLOWED mode.

The drunk hipsters from SCAD will be the death of you all.

Or 0% Irish. It is just an excuse for people to drink in America really.
thats fine, its just when you get people who're like IM IRISH LOOK AT ME I DRINK LOTS AND IM IRISH!
 
The mall at the base of my office building is having a SPD celebration. I went down for a smoothie because I forgot it's SPD and the place is filled to the brim with jailbait.

1) Shouldn't you girls be at school?

2) Thanks for making me feel like a pervy old man. I'm only 26, damnit!

that doesn't make their ignorance forgivable.
Oh, I did not mean to imply it was forgivable. It just annoys me to death. How Irish heritage and whatnot is forgotten and never talked about until all of a sudden, March 17th is here and they are so proud. Ugh.
 
the one thing that i dread most about st. patrick's day is the unavoidable amount of flogging molly and dropkick murphy's i'm going to hear. oh boy.

Nothing can stand between a high schooler and their God-given right to booze up and go wild.

At least Flogging Molly has a Mandolin.

DKM has Scottish bagpipes.... why?
 
An American once told me America invented the holiday. I told some Irish friends and they gave the yank a good talking to.

Then we all got really drunk.

Ahh, St. Patty's day. Gonna get wasted online in wow. Pretty lame I know.
The fuck is this shit?
 
Guess I should have looked at the calendar. I'm wearing all black at work today.

I have a soccer game at 8:00 PM tonight so I won't be doing too much celebrating.

Just tell people it is an extremely dark green.

And I am working from 130-10 tonight, so no drinking or partying for me either.

I hear good things about St. Patty's day around these parts. Hope to get wrecked beyond belief to further mark a great time in this city.

My friends were planning to go to Vegas on Friday, but then they realized St Patty was Thursday so now we're leaving Thursday after work.

Happy St Patty's day people!
No, seriously, what is this shit?

BobTheFork said:
I'm half Irish
I have a fresh case beer and St. patty's day 'greens'.
No, you're not. I think it's time for a new Irish immigration wave to America to set things right.

An unfortunate Americanization. In Ireland Patty is considered a girls name, right? In the states some people spell it Patty instead of Paddy. We use them both here.
 
Chinner said:
today is the day when millions of americans get drunk and drink irish beer cause they're 1/80th irish.

And they will drink on May 5th for the celebration of Mexican Independence.

Multiculturalism yeah!

The WORLD OVER Patty is a girl's name. Did none of you ever watch the cartoon 'Doug'? That was American, right?

The fact March Madenss starts today as well will contribute to the drunken peeps in bars all day. I don't mind it at all, except for the people who overdo it. I mean, Americans in general need more days to freaking relax and have a good time. Well, atleast this American does!

But I won't be doing any celebrating. I am going to Cique Du Soleil tonight with my girl. An unfortunate planning mix-up on my part.
 
going to the pub tonight with my bf and my friend. should be fun! this will be the first st patrick's day where i don't have work or school the next day. i just hope it's not hell at the pub. it's a pretty low-key one so hopefully it's not packed.

Excuse me? I'm going to try not to be rude but WTF did you say? Seriously, did I miss a Joke?

I'll bet your Scotch Irish.

edit: damn you, now I'm just sitting here with a pint waiting to fight!!!!
 
Going to listen to some Pogues the way home from work with my boys, Eamon and Declan, whom despite being only 1.5 and 3 respectively, know the words/tune to Dirty Old Town .
 
Dawb said:
Yea, people in America seem more excited for today than here in Ireland. lol
Well, it's an drinking holiday here so everyone gets pumped for that. It's also the damn NCAA tourney today and that's what more people are celebrating this year.

Fuck, I'm still pissed at Suairyu. I assumed he was an Irish guy telling my about my grand parents but he started a serious fight and hide so I know he isn't Irish which just p[isses me off more.

Ahaha. Chill. I'm simply saying (in a jovial manner) if an Irish person (vs. American) ever heard you call it "St. Patty's", they'd probably beat you up. And they typically hold their drink better than their American-Irish cousins, so they'd win. It's "Paddy's".
 
Great, I put 'tt' instead of 'dd' I was drunk, I'm almost drunk now.

Right now my roomate is mixing Dr. Pepper and Jameson..... :'(

edit: ok, we're cool. : )
 
My new TV is supposed to be delivered from amazon today.

Should I:

a) get drunk while waiting for TV to arrive
b) get drunk while installing TV (have to run electricity for a new outlet + ethernet for uverse box)
c) get drunk after TV is installed then watch it
d) install TV, then go get drunk in streets
e) get drunk and worry about TV tomorrow?
f) get drunk and smash TV?

g) just get drunk and see what happens!
 
I do find the American obsession with heritage fascinating, though. The theory goes that because America has next to no history of its own (because they wiped out all the history of the original inhabitants, whoops!) lots of people are determined to find their "roots" and work out who they are and where they come from.

Then people like BobTheFork go wild and angry, but then it's cool because they start drinking again.

C, D or E. Do not mix alcohol and the installation of new tech. Ever.
 
Just in home for about an hour to get changed and stuff. Then back out on the town to continue the celebrations. Paddy's day in Ireland is so awesome :D
