I love days that are just big excuses to drink heavily. I'm Irish too, got the pasty skin to prove it. Yay.

Wow, America really goes overboard on the Paddy's Day celebrations. We don't even have Lucky Charms cereal in Ireland.

Unfortunately, No one even remembers who the real St. Patrick is or what he did....
And I haven't "celebrated" St. Patrick's day in years...

Let's see: I'm underage, there's no Cookie Puss in Las Vegas (As far as I know), and I've no clue where the blender is (Wouldn't matter much, I can't find a single ice cream brand around here even remotely worthy of being Texas' own Bluebell Ice Cream's rival). At least I still have some Irish blood and a few good green shirts (And pants!).

"We don't even have Lucky Charms cereal in Ireland."
They're probably worried about Lucky being a stereotype.

I'm a Lanigan, so I'm irish, but to be honest I've never been there or bothered to learn anything about them. I do have a piece of a blarney stone somewhere though. It just looks like an ordinary rock to me. What's the deal with blarney stones?

Chestnuts roasted by Kev @ 03/16/2004 07:14 PM EST
I think I'm half Irish... or some level around that, somewhere... Point being, green beer doesn't interest me, but that Cookie O' Puss would be great fun to slaughter in the name of ol' Pat.

I love Cookie Puss!

I'm going to celebrate st. pattie's day by eating a green sno ball with my green sprite Lucky. Only 9 more months until I turn 21.
Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 03/16/2004 07:28 PM EST
I have no idea what to do this St Patrick's day- never have, never will. Oh, except I always wear the token green item so I'm not pinched mercilessly. As much.
I guess I'll stay in and eat green things.
On another note, www.2005boards.com is still down, and Homestar Runner hasn't done its weekly update yet. I could use that stereotypical Irish luck about now.

You've got to love any day that's just a big excuse to drink, like New Years Eve, or Thursday. Yipee for green beer.
Chestnuts roasted by Tyler @ 03/16/2004 07:40 PM EST
Matt, do you know what you just did? You made me crave Shamrock Shakes! Now I'm going to have to go down to McDonald's tomorrow and celebrate St. Patty's Day by buying one! It'll be a nice replacement for green beer, since liquor of any color does not agree with me.
I am a quarter Irish (but I'm also a quarter of most of Western Europe), so I at least have a tentative reason for celebrating the holiday. It'll mostly just be an excuse to buy myself a Shamrock Shake and gorge on Irish Potatoes.
You say you've never heard of the wee Irish Potatoes? Why, they are the most heavenly confections since that edible icing snowman that came with Matt's Winter Kid Cuisine frozen dinner. They are merely powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and coconut covered with cinnamon, and they're only avalible from after Valentine's Day to mid-March. Like other seasonal candies, the grocery stores always have lots of leftovers. I must have bought at least five or six boxes of the things from after-the-holiday sales last year.
Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 03/16/2004 07:56 PM EST
I've also decided to celebrate St. Patrick's day by drinking a Shamrock Shake. Assuming the McDonald's down the street has them. If not, I will comprimise and pour green food coloring into a vanilla shake from Sonic.

Chestnuts roasted by Diabetic Dinosaur @ 03/16/2004 08:47 PM EST
I hate Saint Patrick’s Day. Why you ask? I work at a catering that specializes in holiday parties. The weekend that had just passed was an early tribute to Saint Patrick’s Day. I had six tables (ten people each table) on Friday Saturday and Sunday of drunkard fools.
The buffet was Coors light with some white Russians topped with a sweet tall whiskey. Drinking Irish coffee and forty 6-packs of dyed green beer was the main course. While all the customers of mine were beet red throwing soda bread at me yelling orders into my ear
I was trying my best to carry the heavy trays that were stacked to its maximum balance point of empty beer bottles through a gauntlet of standing Irish men. Not to say I hate Irish people, but I sure hate to wait on the ones that get drunk and lay on the table. HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
Chestnuts roasted by nelson @ 03/16/2004 09:29 PM EST
Yay I love St Patricks Day. Just because my favorite color is Green. It's a celebration of all things green. Yeah I know it's a pretty lame reason to like a holiday but whatta ya gonna do?

Okay, sure, Uncle O'Grimacey is obscure, but does anyone remember that alien guy with the loads of arms? I think his name was CosMc or something along those lines. I seem to be the only one who remembers this short lived character. When I was a kid I had the whole set of Remco McDonaldLand toys and the McDonaldland playest which I inherited from my cousins, and when CosMc hit the scene I was so enamoured with the idea of a CosMc action figure to join the rest of the McD's crew. Alas, the toys had been discontinued shortly before my birth, so my wait was fruitless. To this very day it tears me up inside.

Just a ting about Cookie O' Puss: what's the deal with him, who makes him and what else do they make? Looking at the shape of his head you could easily use the same mould to make a guitar or a woman's body. Do they do that? Is this really obvious and everyone knows, or have I just pointed out something you hadn't noticed before?

I used to work in the floral shop of my local grocery and I have had to dye many a carnation. We spray special floral spray paint on a piece of plastic and smear the flower in it. Its fun when you have a lot of them cause you get a good buzz, even when you try not to inhale.

I curse the three research papers I need to do, and the shift at work I have to work tomorrow, which prevent me from celebrating St. Patricks Day with disgusting quantities of liquor. I'm not Irish, I just like to celebrate.

Kudos on the Roger Rabbit Line.
Does anyone else have a phobia about leaving the house today without green on? In school we were pretty viscious in the pinching department, so I can't feel comfortable on St. Patties day without a little green. And I am not even Irish!
Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 03/17/2004 08:14 AM EST
Great article! The description of Uncle O'Grimacey is about the most hilarious thing I have ever read.
Stilewalker, did they actually do that in your school? I saw the episode of The Simpsons where they do it to Bart for not wearing green, but I thought it was just made up! We never had the non-green pinchies in my school...
And yes, St. Patty's day is awesome in Boston because of Evacuation day. I work outside of Boston, but because of the awful traffic to get into the city,it normally takes me an hour to get to work, but since it is Evacuation day, it only took me 20 minutes, even with the 8 inches of snow we got last night! Woo!

Here in Reno, Fitzgerald's Casino goes all-out on St. Pattie's Day, and since the world-famous Reno Arch is right outside their front door, the city does its part by changing the light bulbs to green ones (someone's gettin' a kickback, I guess).
Personally, though, I think the green glow cast over the street at night makes me feel like I've been teleported into the Paris Hilton sex tape. Not good times, unless you count Fitz's promotions...free stuff is cool.

Only about 1/8th Irish, I think, but screw it, I've got all of the luck and that's enough for me. Tonight after coaching, I believe I will stop, pick up a 6-pack of Killian's, head home for dinner, and quietly drink myself away in my room, stopping at 12:01 to wish Mom happy birthday. Dang... how long till the next time this holiday is on a weekend so I can get properly ripped? (As the massive layoffs that swept my company yesterday sort of dissuade me from showing up for work tomorrow completely hungover and all...)

I know that the word 'Leprechaun' is taboo on this site today in lieu of Cookie O'Puss, but I couldn't help but be surprised to find the timeless and epic Leprechaun movies to be absent from the list of the St. Patty's Day fun. Granted, we've heard plenty about them in previous blogs, but on the one day when it is appropriate to give the seminal 4-part series its day in the sun (it mercifully stopped at 4, right, when he went into space?), not to mention a rare and fleeting chance to bring Jennifer Aniston back down to earth, I'm sad to see it sorely neglected. Nevertheless, O'Grimacy and O'Puss are plenty Irish to set the mood. Cheers, ye ol' lads and ladies!

Somewhere, on my Choctaw side, there is a not-really-talked-about Irish ancestor. The only thing that keeps him/her from being totally unknown is the red highlights in our hair. My Granddad was afraid that one of us would be born a complete redhead, so whomever it was had to be a relatively recent addition in the line. Native American with a touch of Irish? Nope, no drinking problems there. Raise a glass of whatever you're having and toast your favorite Arshmen, like Wendy O'Williams or Shaquille O'Neill. May the wind at your back be not your own.

Dude, it's a CATHOLIC holiday that happens to be affiliated with Ireland. We Italians have got as much a right to celebrate it as anybody else. Secondly, WFRR is my favorite movie of all time, so that joke was a total home run, but the one that really made me burst out laughing in the middle of the silent computer lab was "a McDonaldland reject with a walking stick that doesn't reach the floor". I don't know why, but that's comedy gold. Thirdly, I think those are giant stereotypical Irish sideburns on ol' Cookie O'Puss, although the more I look at it the more it does look like he has stunted, ridiculous T-Rex arms.

Two things:

2) Someone requested an Italian St. Paddy's-type holiday? In some major US cities (like San Francisco and New York) Italians use Columbus Day like that, parade and ev'rything. i don't know why. Didn't you guys blow him off so that he had to go to Spain for backing?

FACTS
1. There is a fifth leprachaun movie, with a hip-hop theme
2. Northern Ireland is a country (very few Americans have believed me in the past)
3. I've lived in belfast my whole life without hearing a bomb go off (not abnormal)
4. We don't get green beer or st paddy shakes, but sales of guinness-themed keychains, posters, stationary, drums and the liquid itself increase exponentially.
5. Belfast has the lamest St Paddys day celebration in the world (there's no funding because certain politicians are total dinosaurs who think it'll offend). This year it featured Girls Aloud (bland spice-girls continuation) and the reanimated corpse of Shane MaGowan from the pogues (how is he still moving?).
