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

[cacunn]

yeah that'd make a even a chaplain tempted!

I understood you were to turn the other cheek, after the fourth turn can't you swing a good right?

Makes me want to reach down somebody's throat, grab their spleen, and yank them inside out! ,.......

ouch

I think that of the gripes that started this post the one about green food coloring in bu...wiper beer was my favorite

[bubba]

You know, they never put green coloring in good beer, it's always in the cheapest crap they can get. Probably the only way they can sell it.

As the Wicked Tinker say, "everyone is at least 1/365th Irish". It is amazing how many people think that also requires that they don all that artificial plastic leprecaun crap. As for the drinking, I fondly recall sitting in a beer tent during an October Fest when a friend named Sullivan remarked how strang it is that the local Bavarian community has a festival to do for a week what we do all year long.

My wife gets a daily e-mail from a local restaurant and food based website. Yesterday's included the following:


[No Green Beer?!
This year while the hoi polloi swill their green-dyed beers, you can be a cut above by responsibly enjoying a decidedly different beverage to toast St. Patrick this weekend. Along with the Germans and Italians, St. Louis has a long and rich Irish heritage. If your favorite pub serves Anheuser-Busch's Bare Knuckle Stout on draft, then celebrate that heritage with an Irish American, a new twist on the classic black-and-tan.

Half Budweiser and half Bare Knuckle Stout, the combination not only tantalizes your taste buds with the rich, toasty flavor the dark stout and the crisp, palate-cleansing taste of the light pilsner, it creates an arresting visual as well: the stout naturally layers on top of the Bud and looks stunning in a traditional pub-style glass.


Sounds pretty bad to me.

I'll pass on that one. Budweisers attempts at craft beers have been bad for a long time..( ex. bud employee here ..we got to taste some stuff that never hit the shelves.)

St. Patrick's Day=Amateur Drinking Day

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.

Corned Beef and Cabbage (boil it yourself, don't get that dog chow wanna be corned beef out of a can stuff)

While a good thing to do (and I've got my corned beef in the fridge right now) it is as Irish as wearing your kilt (i.e. it's not).
