And yes, it’s a holiday that I personally at least mildly detest. But, since the rest of America seems to want to annually descend into green, beer-soaked madness… fine. Enjoy it. Stay off the freaking roads tonight.

You don’t have to get drunk to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. You can dance! …if we want to. You can leave your friends behind. ‘Cause your friends don’t dance. And if they don’t dance, well they’re no friends of mine! S! A! F! E! T! Y! /sing
Y’know, wearing the orange is also possible…

Most Americans have no clue about other countries’ symbols.

You may want to save the orange for July 12…
Yeaaah I don’t think I’m going to wear orange today. My relatives would *freak*.
If you really want to troll them, you can wear black and tan (as I do) but that’s a bit on the harsh side.
I’d certainly *drink* a black-and-tan….
Seems to be less of a thing in *actual* Ireland, much like Cinco de Mayo is a lesser holiday in Mexico. Some people in America just like an excuse to get plastered. New-year’s. St. Paddy’s. Cinco de Mayo. Heck, Forth o’ July and Memorial day.
There are three types of holidays:
.
(1) Real holidays.
(2) Bank/government holidays.
(3) Beer holidays.*

St. Patrick’s Day is in category #3.

*Beer may be present at (1) and (2) but is the focus of (3).
Well I just finished mowing the lawn, so until I go shower I’ll be wearing green, is that close enough?

I am going to cook a corned beef for dinner, but that has more to do with them being on sale this week than St. Patties day. And I don’t particularly cook them Irish style – no cabbage here, just taters and mushrooms, and a quartered onion in the pressure cooker, with whatever I feel like for spices.

I mean, I may grab a Guinness from the Fridge, but there’s almost always Guinness in the fridge.
