Weirdy Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) In my country, its just another day. Some people of irish heritage probably got themselves drunk. Nothing about wearing green or pinching.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>here in the u.s, beer companies like to take advantage of ethnic holidays (2 atm) mainly during St.Patrick's day and May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) Edited March 18, 2005 by Weirdanzeige
bubbawmu2 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) well your right about the beer companies taking advantage of those holidays, but that doesnt mean that we cant take advantage of them too. Edited March 18, 2005 by bubbawmu2
Z-Neo Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I'm probably less than 1/8 irish, so it's not too big of a day to me, but i'll probably have a beer soon just to keep in the *tradition*, lol. Thank goodness there is no pinching at my work. I don't think guys working in a steel shop going around pinching each other all day would lead to someone getting hit in the head with an I-beam.
Bob Jahovic Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) Even though I'm irish, I think that St. Patricks day has kinda gotten away from irish heritage and has just become a day to get a drunk as possible (not that i mind), but I wish that today had more to do with Irish heritage Another drawback to St. Patrick's day, is the day after Edited March 18, 2005 by Bob Jahovic
Daeval Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I was supposed to go to a Flogging Molly concert downtown tonight. They're an irish "punk" band that kicks some seriously eclectic ass. (http://www.floggingmolly.com/) Unfortunately, I got sick as flock on tuesday night, and am still recovering, so no show for me. I'm cool with it though, as it's a block party show and, from the news reports, it's like one big idealized frat party in green down there. I've seen the band at better venues than a drunken college-kid filled street. On a side note, in one of those news reports, a drunk guy flipped a bird right in the anchorman's face, and got his hand smacked down pretty damn hard for it. All on camera too as they were segueing back to the news desk. The anchorwoman at the desk was visibly trying to hold back a laugh.
Inky Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 dropkick murphy's pwn flogging molly.anyways yeah this is kinda a lame holiday even though I got a chunk of irish in me. outgrew the green thing and worked most of the night so no partys or green beer for me.
BoomBa_GoosE Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 St. Patty's was a great day to touch girls when i was younger...memories. What are you doin (my name here)??? Ur suppose to pinch! muahaha
Daeval Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 dropkick murphy's pwn flogging molly.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Eh, I dig 'em both.
OverlordMondo Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I'm heavily Irish, and I despise this Holiday. This isn't an Irish holiday, this is a Catholic holiday that managed to begin in Ireland. The creation of more god-slaves is nothing to celebrate.
Gryph Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Meh, I hate closing threads but I guess this one is past its prime.
