Happy St. Patrick's/Drown Your Liver in Alcohol Day!
 

Any plans?
I have none.

Already nearly over.

Timezones uguu~

I heard a guy ring in to the radio today to mention that it's his birthday. His surname is 'Day'. His parents chose to call him 'Patrick'.

Yes, that's right; his birthday is March 17th and his name is 'Patrick Day'.

What dick parents.

This guy should have gone with a different contraction of his first name.

We were going out tonight, not to anywhere celebrating Paddy's Day, just a weekly Wednesday club. But apparently now we're not, for no particular reason and without my consultation. Instead I'll sit at home.

Aw come on, Wil. Drinking alone isn't any fun.

I don't have it in me to celebrate the Irish.

I just remembered; on the tram today I had a half-drunk Irish guy with a shamrock painted on his face come to me and ask directions to a street I'd never heard of. I'm told that Irish people love to come to Australia and behave like drunken lecherous stereotypes, because back home they'd get beaten up with a Shillelagh. Or just beaten up.

Then get out of my thread, you filthy caber tosser.

So Peter's family came to a more permanent arrangement then?
Historically, the Scottish fought and continue to fight for their freedom and independence.

Historically the Irish fourght for and continue to fight for their subjugation.

Betraying two years worth of A level History to troll is fun!

Everyone knows the Scots and the Irish are the same.

Except the Irish pronounce their language Gay-lick.

That's pretty damning.

Seems like your kind of language, Joe.

I didn't say anything about drinking. However, now that you've mentioned it...

Nothing, at least in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day.

I always pronounced it like that anyway, though I am like 1/3 or 1/2 Irish so that could be why.

i'll be burning down the nearest Irish hovel in the spirit of England!

I'll be drinking the nearest spirits of England.

I didn't even wear green today. And I didn't eat potatoes. And I killed a clover. What is wrong with me today?

well, if you aren't Irish, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.

I saw a bunch of pissheads in green outside one of the local pubs. It was 4PM FFS!

We ended up going to the pub for aaaages. I played five games of pool and won zero. For the first three games I potted an average of one ball per game. On the last game I randomly thought I was the wrong colour and potted some of my opponent's.

Cheltenham's already full of slimy Londoners and drunken Irish who've come to see The Greatest Show On Turf. I don't think we can take much more...

I wore a green shirt today. It was a coincidence.

What's wrong with you.

i sneezed on myself, and it was green. i wore it all day in the spirit of Ireland.

but i shall drink copiously tomorrow. that's just regular.

I had a grand old time down at the pub :D

Alcar...

I... went on the computer too much and got sick.


EDIT: look at this awesome art I found in dA: http://idunno1268.deviantart.com/art...-day-157613125

I'm trying to remember; was this the one year anniversary of you passing out at the train station and and losing all your stuff, including the USB key with all the top-secret OWF passwords?

Or was that on some other occassion where public drunkenness is promoted?

I'm not sure. I'd completely forgotten about that to be honest.

Alcar...

I wish that I could celebrate St.Patrick's day too :(! Oh well.. gues I have nothing else to say than"HAPPY ST.PATRICK'S DAY" And here's a catchy little tune for ya:

Another St. Patrick's Day anecdote; I spent that day in 2008 in Austin, Texas. It's actually a really awesome city and I really liked the place during the day. In the evening half the city was blocked off and massive beer gardens were set up in the middle of the streets. Which was also fairly awesome. My main issue was with the guys wearing green kilts and playing bagpipes. Somehow, the Americans just don't get it.
