What are ye doing for Saint Paddys day?

I forgot about that
I think I'll also be sober. I'm not much into drinking. I guess I can put on a green shirt though

I'm not in Ireland, but hopefully it could be fun in one of local Irish pubs. If only I could find some company.

Probably have a few beers at home and that's about it.

Gonna get up early and have a walk if I manage to sleep tonight and not stay up listening to shortwave or something again.

Must remember to watch the new Simpsons episode.

I fear it'll be terrible since, well, I haven't seen a Simpsons episode that compares to the first 7-8 series since.. um... series 8.

The traditional Irish male thing to do is:

Don a Glasgow Celtic jersey.

Go into town very early.

Get as drunk as humanly possible.

Fall out of pubs around 2pm to vomit and start fights on main streets.

Fall asleep on street for a little while.

Go back to pub for rest of the day.

Call in "sick" the next morning.

I'd actually like to walk out into Celtic Park with a Glasgow Celtic jersey and then set it alight in front of ~60,000 Celtic fans (whilst wearing a Glasgow Rangers jersey).

Anyway, I will also be sober throughout my national day of celebration (St. Patrick's Day). I will not attend any parade, do anything overly 'Irish', and will probably just go to the gym and study.

Honestly, I wish I were in Ireland on this day.

Not sure, perhaps go out to a pub and gratify myself with a lot of Guinness. And the possibly jig around in the Irish jig manner.

wtf is Saint Paddys day? Why you people celebrate such $#%^?

I'm part irish, actually me and the BF both though he wears the green and I wear the orange hahaha...

We aren't doing anything.

and you people care about some asshat converting a bunch of sheeps with no brains to make up their own mind, because.... ?

Seriously, all of the religious festivities should be dropped. You wanna get drunk? One doesn't need a religious day as an excuse for that

The use of the term "you people" is obnoxious,.

Oh and referring to the people who became christian as "sheep", isn't exactly flattering either.

I'd suggest that a lot of people became nominally christian because that helped their prospects of survival, the same way the English language replaced Irish almost entirely.

The origins of the day are religious , today it's not religious for most people.

Ireland has come a long way in terms of separation of church and state, but it took decades for that to happen.

Jezz. I figured all of Ireland got drunk on green beer until they puked and passed out. Will Asuka and Chucky be the only concious people there? I'd go loot some stores. Get yourself a big screen TV. Get LCD. The plasma run hot and burn out a lot.
