Not really. I cut back very heavily on alcohol due to a couple of health issues that scared me a little bit (and they turned out to be minor health issues, but they inspired me to cut back on things like alcohol/caffeine either way). I usually don't do anything special for St. Patrick's day anyway.
Actually, the grocery store's bakery usually makes St. Patrick's themed stuff that's pretty good (cupcakes, etc). Might pick some of that up.

They hunt mice and mice are a plague for farmers, and farmers having crop troubles is something the Irish should know well. So snakes are actually good. A strange custom.Last edited by mmoc4a603c9764; 2016-03-17 at 01:28 PM.

He chased the Pagans from Ireland too. I don't think religious cleansing is something we should be really celebrating. Originally Posted by Creamy Flames

Go down pub at about 5.30, meet up with the gang then off up town to find some shenanigans.
Footballs on too.Last edited by mmoc6b1f2f8dff; 2016-03-17 at 01:34 PM.

I've not been fond of the book burner after reading what history I could find on him. (and I don't think there were ever any snakes in Eire, unless it was a metaphor for other religious beliefs.)

I will be wearing a green shirt for the sake of the day however.

I have no problem with you doing that. I have Irish ancestry, but I'm English for the most part, so it's really something we've never celebrated; it's actually a fairly new thing to celebrate here (as far as I'm aware, newer even than Halloween) and owes itself more to American media than the Irish.

Already resigned to it, which makes anything from a 0-0 upward a bonus. Originally Posted by ctd123

I've already got my 22-quart slow cooker is doing its thing. It's stuffed full of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and yams. I really need work to be over right now.
