This is probably going to anger people. But why the hell do the Irish get their own holiday? I am Irish, like a quarter. Sure Saint Patrick drove the snakes off of the old Emerald Isle. But what did he do in America to make him so great here? Sure the Irish built America, but so did the Germans, Italians, French, Dutch, British, Polish...the list goes on. Why do we not celebrate Saint Anthony or Saint Jude, Saint Francis or Saint Bridget? All made contributions to the well-being of people and animals which is a whole lot more important than ridding an island of snakes. My answer to this question is beer. We all love beer and the Irish are a bunch of drunks. I am an Irishman, yes, but alcohol is the name of their game. As proof, consider this. In Ireland, the doors are painted bright vivid colors so that when the Irish come home from the pub they can tell which house is their's by the color of the door. They're so smashed they can't tell which house is theirs. Corned beef and cabbage. Enough said there. Not beef but beef corned?? Wait wait wait. That souns kind of gross. Let's throw in some cabbage to sweeten the deal. Ugh. Personally, I think Saint Patrick's Day is a silly excuse for a holiday. Another excuse to get drunk before noon. And in conclusion, I wouldn't kiss you because you're Irish. (eh eh eh, get it??) **excludes Kerrie Bowden :op
Oh god, now I got all the Sullivans and the O'whatchamacallit's after me. Nothing personal, I just don't understand why other ethnicities don't have their own holiday. Call me jealous.
So in other news I had the luck of the Irish with me last night. If I didn't play cards like a damned fool I might have won. In two and a half hours I came across *five* straights in Texas Hold Em. Pool...well I just continue to suck.
im aware that i included several irish phrases in my post...i did this merely for humor. this sounds like a dan or brielman post.
