Saint Paddys day? I shall drink a beer for IrelandThe Duchess of Zeon wrote:So - Should it be a national holiday in the US, or do you already get so drunk you don't care?
It's not a day-off-from-work holiday, unfortunately.Dalton wrote:It already is, isn't it?
Anyway, as a part-Irishman I feel I'm too biased on the issue to venture an opinion.
And now...

Because it is a holiday celebrating Ireland, you infidel.Robert Treder wrote:What a strange holiday. I mean, I understand drinking, but what for? For some guy named Patrick? If you're willing to drink extra for no reason, why even go through the trouble of making it a holiday?
And the wearing green thing is completely beyond me.
Like Dalton said - Celebrating Ireland, or in the case of the USA, those of Irish heritage inside the country, who have, of course, made significant contributions to the country. Including good beer, unlike the Germans, who sold out and started making cheap commercialized stuff.Robert Treder wrote:What a strange holiday. I mean, I understand drinking, but what for?

Wow, that's the same combo I have!Captain tycho wrote:Seeing as my mother is Irish and my dad is, well, Scottish I guess I'm included in the celebration.
Hmm, I have some English, some Irish, a lot of Scots and a smattering of Prussian. As such I must resist the urge to conquor nations when drunk.MKSheppard wrote:Wow, that's the same combo I have!Captain tycho wrote:Seeing as my mother is Irish and my dad is, well, Scottish I guess I'm included in the celebration.
Again, to be super technical, I have the following makeup:Stuart Mackey wrote: Hmm, I have some English, some Irish, a lot of Scots and a smattering of Prussian. As such I must resist the urge to conquor nations when drunk.
Well, hey, I'm technically part Irish, so I'm no infidel. But seriously, folks, Ireland? Thinking about Ireland doesn't exactly make me feel like celebrating.Dalton wrote:Because it is a holiday celebrating Ireland, you infidel.Robert Treder wrote:What a strange holiday.

Understandable. The Irish keep getting fucked over and over and over.Robert Treder wrote:But seriously, folks, Ireland? Thinking about Ireland doesn't exactly make me feel like celebrating.
Indeed! I think our armies would like to dine in Paris, eh what?MKSheppard wrote:Again, to be super technical, I have the following makeup:Stuart Mackey wrote: Hmm, I have some English, some Irish, a lot of Scots and a smattering of Prussian.

Irish, Canadian, German, and Scottish.......
So lets get to gether and conquer some pissant nation
No, it's best to let them have their little victory.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:Irish troops conquered most of the world! *sigh* They were just under the command of English officers most of the time.
It's an environmentalist plot because there aren't any more dragons around while there are still plenty of snakes.Admiral Valdemar wrote:No, it's best to let them have their little victory.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:Irish troops conquered most of the world! *sigh* They were just under the command of English officers most of the time.
But no one celebrates St. George's day.

Gee, only a little over 50 days until the next bandwagon boozapalooza holiday, Cinco de Mayo. At least that one's celebrating the Mexican's vicotry over the French.
You should see the Orange Marches that occur in Southport, a town not 15 minutes from my home. It passes by an O'Neil's bar every year and every year they always hasten their pace at that point.Col.

see, i never understood that. Why do the Orange groups insist on marching through certain places when they absoutely know it will end in a bloody riot with flaming upturned cars and flying rocks and bullets? i really cant see the logic in rubbing a 900 year old victory in someone's face. That would be like me burning down the British Consulate building on the 4th of July....i just don't get it.Admiral Valdemar wrote:You should see the Orange Marches that occur in Southport, a town not 15 minutes from my home.
