I Love St. Patrick's Day, but...

[beloitpiper]

...some thing annoy me a bit.

1) Shamrock beads, plastic green hats, and "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" pins.
Seriously, if I wanted Mardi Gras, I'd move to New Orleans. Keep the cheap Chinese sweat-shop crap away from my holiday.

2) Green beer.
Just because you dyed your Budweiser green does not make it Irish. God obviously wanted beer to be black. How else do you explain Guinness?

3) Fake Irish accents.
Irish people do not talk like the Lucky Charms leprechaun. You just sound like a retarded Australian.

4) Pinching people who don't wear green.
Do you pinch Jewish people on Christmas? Didn't think so. Stop it.

5) Green hair spray.
You're taking the green thing a bit far, now. If you really wanted to look Irish, I'd recommend a nice, natural red or brown.



Avoid these things, and we can all enjoy St. Patrick's Day together. No need for corney, stupid materialistic crap. Just celebrate your heritage, drink a few pints, and enjoy the greatest holiday on Earth!

I agree whole-heartedly. These are many of the reasons that I don't enjoy a lot of the St. Pat's Day celebrations in St. Louis. Too many people use it as some sort of justified reason to drink themselves silly.

That being said (and very true) I'll lead by example and step over the scattered and twisted bodies of the willing apprentices on my way to a nice quiet lunch. int: int: No Swillweiser for me thank you. Mothers milk by the pint. Guinness.

Can you say first vacation in two years?

I am never a big fan of green beer. Give me the real stuff or give me a soda.

I didn't care much about St Patrick's day when I was younger. But St. Patrick's day gave us, the Vancouverites, a reason to celebrate.

At the annual world beer conference the Presidents of Budwiser, Miller, Coors and Guinness got to chatting and deciced to head to a pub.

The waitress came, and the pres of Bud says, "Give me a Budwiser, the king of beers."

The pres of Miller says, "I'll take a Miller High Life, the Champaige of beers."

the pres of Coors says, "Give me a Silver Bullet, the taste of the Rocky Mts."

The Pres of Guinness says, "Give me a coke."

Once the waitress leaves, the others ask, "Why a coke."

the pres of Guinness says," well if you fellas aren't drinking, why should I."

So true.

St. Patricks day founded sometime ago and was a neat tradition that went one step too far. I have to agree about the new Marti Gras day. WHEW, do you really have to put the Saints name along with it to just have a day to drink it up?

my thoughts exactly!
