lamia_primeGuh - It's clearly America's Excuse To Be Drunk Publicly Day St. Patrick's Day!
The office is next to an Irish bar, owned by real Irish (their accents are simply adorable). And their new back deck.
The pub has been open since 10am, and I can hear shrieking and hooting through the (double-paned) windows. Coming back from lunch, there were 4 people who were old enough to Know Better dressed in simply ridiculous ensembles, primarily consisting of large green mushrooms likely intended to be leprechaun hats.
Yes! Celebrate religious oppression and cultural hatred by wearing a politically-charged color and drinking until you make yourself sick!
As for me, I hide on March 17, every year. You couldn't pay me to go into a bar or a liquor store on this day. Hell, I tried to even avoid walking around in public back in New York, because of all of the times I had to deal with the drooling staggering date-rapists flopping about on the sidewalk, thinking themselves terribly witty and attractive.

Date: 2009-03-18 01:22 am (UTC)For some reason, St "Paddy's" Day has really been bothering me this year. Nobody would celebrate Gooks Day, or Kraut day, but the stupid newspeople keep saying Paddy not knowing it was a racist slur and thinking they are being charming and cute. It is St Patrick's Day, or St Pats--not Paddy.
Oops. Sorry. ranting. I will put the soapbox away now.
