Cheers to you on this non holiday holiday, a day the world becomes Irish for no reason at all. Seriously. No reason at all. Except the drink.
I opt for the Irish Rovers singing the Chicago Jew.
Thank you Shel Silverstein, this beats Danny Boy any day.
Figures they’d forget the Unicorn. It was all downhill from there.
Here’s to a temperance supper,
With water in glasses tall,
And coffee and tea to end with
And me not there at all!
Sláinte
We’re expecting a huge crowd this afternoon and evening.
Shel Silverstein wrote that?
Cheers.

You didn’t know that? I’m surprised.
Happy belated whatever the holiday was.
Sometimes I am suspicious that some holidays are not much more than an excuse for people to drink. Of course, I suppose the same could be said for rock concerts. And weddings.
The “Kiss Me I’m Irish” shirts are kinda cute, though.
Bone’s last blog post..I meme…because I have nothing to write about
Drinking on Saint Patrick’s Day is so pointedly to get drunk, at least drinking at the holidays is for a good reason — you are either with your loved ones and they are making you nuts, or you are are alone and it’s making you nuts.
Sucks that this day is during the week.

You have that right.
Bother. I missed the holiday and here I am wearing green on the 18th. You never get it back, alas.

Nor would you want to, I imagine.
I forgot the holiday until my dentist appointment where the hygienist jokingly said she couldn’t clean my teeth because I wasn’t wearing green.
Shel Silverstein wrote that song?

And if your teeth were green they would have ragged on you even more, so ya just can’t win.
YES for the last time he did write that song and a ton of other things…screenplays, tv shows, and so on.
Hypnotic. Made me want to sing.
Shel Silverstein…?

Don’t tell me you don’t know him he is the bomb. For all 5 years olds at least.
Tried clicking to edit. It was an exhausting day
pia’s last blog post..After the fog
Am happy to admit that I drank no green beer. Hell, nothing green was brewed, stewed or partaken. Or thrown up. Unlike some years. …

Well once one has children I hear the throwing up days are over.
I’ve never really done a significant amount of drinking on St Patrick’s Day. Which is weird because it’s not like I’ve particularly not wanted to.
