This is one of my favorite shirts. But I never wear it on St Patrick's Day. It's an everyday shirt.

That'll work

A girl friend of mine also mentioned "Extra Extra EXTRA for a ginger merkin"

I had to google that one. I guess I was aware of the concept, but not the term.

Ask any bartender. They'll bitch about it at length, and with complete justification.

Seriously, there's a local bar that's generally pretty chill. Just a dive bar. Burgers, beers, they'll have a local band most weeks. Nothing fancy. I go to watch the fights when they're on. Last year I figured I'd hit it up on St. Patrick's Day, because, you know. Wall to wall douchebags.

My bartender is already dreading it.


Chillest St. Patrick's Day I've ever experienced was when I was in Ireland. There was some green tinsel over the bar and a 10% discount on beer, and that was it. Here in Boston it's a complete circus in some areas.


Isn't Cinco de Mayo also pretty much a non-thing in Mexico but another example of a drunkfest here in the states, and maybe elsewhere?

Only 49 more days, Gringo bitches...!

It's blatant cultural appropriation of my people.

If you're Irish, you're the one who has to bitch.

Pretty sure I've got some Irish in me too, but I'm not going to bitch.

I am of Irish extract in America (I have come to understand that even though all of my ancestors left the homeland when the fucking English tried to starve them that I am considered Not Irish in Eíre but an American. I had many discussions with one of my old lawyers about this who is from Ireland.) so consider this my official bitching.

Nope, you come from a family of soup eaters.

Asshats have appropriated the holiday to get pass drunk instead of celebrating Ireland and our heritage

I thought getting piss drunk is an imitation of the Irish, thus, celebrating them on their own terms.
