Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If you're really Irish, go to church, wear blue, and eat a lovely bacon rasher.

If you're pretending to be Irish, pinch people with impunity, drink green beer, and kiss those who have buttons claiming they are of Irish extraction.

:D

In non-news, I still miss Ireland.

Well, that's one out of three. ;) (I did have a nice beef and sweet potato stew/casserole though. And I baked chocolate chip cookies for the Mother in Law since it's Mothering Sunday tomorrow.)

Happy St. Patrick's day to you too. You should see the daffodils out lately! Although, they got a good battering from the hail this morning.

Least you don't have to look at all the ridiculous leprechauns.

While you may have your hail, we have pouring rain all day. I've taken it as the weather has condescended to be Irish for me. :)

Oh, we had pouring rain too. On the bright side, that meant I didn't have to water the grass seed. On the, well, cloudy side, I was hoping to make a major dent in the weeding today and it was way too wet for that.

Yes, gardening was the height of my plans for St. Patrick's day. (Instead I spent most of the day on the internet and baked.) I am an exciting person. :D

From what I was led to understand, that is how most of the actual Irish people manage St. Patrick's Day.

Someone in Co. Cork told me anything else was the Eastern Europeans. But they might have been a disgruntled farmer grappling with geopolitical dynamics that went over my head. :)

You and me both bb. I was actually there for St Paddy's last year, and... uh, we stayed in all day watching movies and made pancakes.

....We did make the effort of wearing a sparkly flag-colored hat when we walked to the grocery store, though.

Yeah, there wasn't too much fuss over it in Ireland. He was a Romano-British missionary anyway.

[sciathan_file]

I lived there for half a year in 2007, though I wasn't there for St. Pat's Day (although I did hear several Irish people complain about it).

Oh St. Patrick...I know way too much about him and play Spot the Factual Inaccuracy game with knowledge acquired from a uni course on Early Christian Ireland

[rosalui]

I'm so sick of people on TV being like HE WAS IRISH YO and I'm just like KJFEBKHGBEK NO AND ALSO HE LIKE DROVE OUT ALL YOUR OLD RELIGIONS WHICH WERE SO AWESOME
