Happy St Patrick's Day

[engineergurl]

But St. Patrick's efforts were to the benefit of Ireland.

I don't disagree, but if we want to get technical, we should all go to church and eat some Haggis to celebrate St Patrick

didn't realize that Saint Patrick's Day also had grinches.

If the Christmas grinch was green, would that mean the St Patty's day grinch is red?

My wife has been to Ireland and had Guinness at the brewery, and won't drink the "swill" we get imported here.

Ditto. You cannot see through the Guinness in Ireland, and the aftertaste is barely noticeable. They actually export some sort of extract or syrup of Guinness to the States and "reconstitute" it with carbonated water. It is translucent red if you hold it up to light an the aftertaste lingers for a while after each glass. I really wish they'd export the same stuff they sell in Ireland. It's unbelievable how much better it is.

You left out "Excuse to drink till you black out", which is the reason many people celebrate this "holiday".

If you really want to capture the spirit of the day, it's an American holiday during which we celebrate a racist stereotype. Isn't that something we can all get behind?

Please add Cinco de Mayo to that list.

Awesome. Though when I got old enough to understand the science I was disappointed about the snakes.

I never need an excuse to do that.
