Mine?


Great!


Over at my wife's friends...a real Irish gentleman was there to boot.


God bless the Irish!

Beh, Okay

My St. Patrick's Day was somewhat boring, to be honest; I did purchase a new cellular phone, though, so that much was fun. I only wore green for about three hours, heh; the shirt was uncomfortable, so it was shed in lieu of something nicer in quite short order.

I find that quote funny.

He's talking about education, then in affront to grammar, he says

"Is our children learning?" Geez. Get a grip, Mr. Prez.

It's not the sex, Five. The humour...that's what gets us through!

I don't celebrate St Patrick's Day because I'm not Irish.

I also don't celebrate American Independence Day, Bastille Day, ANZAC Day or Chinese New Year.

I only celebrate St George's Day on 23rd April.

yes it was fun
yes its humour that helps
also a very musical heritage
celtic music is great-
irish, scottish, even the stuff from the continent ie brittany and galicia is interesting
and a certain " lightness"
i think its true -- that theres more happiness to go around for the irish than say blackleaf"s bitter type
i think its true

It's actually quite good when people celebrate St Patrick's Day.

St Patrick was an Englishman, so all these Irishmen and Americans and Canadians (most of whom have no Paddy blood in them) are celebrating the life of an Englishman.

RE: How was your St. Padd

Well, my St. Pat's day went well ... being 1/4 Irish m'self, seemed the Luck'o the clan was upon me. My truck started, didn't have to crawl under the beast once and get my green sweater oily, the sun was shining, was at the off-leash zone by the ocean and it wasn't even windy, my dog got to chase crows, I had a serious nap in the afternoon ... all in all, a great St. Pat's day. :)

Good.

It's about time you bowed down to your masters.

Not a drop of the olde English blood in me, matey...

I bow to noone, but while YOU"RE down there, kiss the floor!!!
