St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Also known as the day when a bunch of Americans with not a drop of Irish blood in them dress up in green and get drunk on Guinness... or something like that :)

I don't. I think it's stupid for me to make a political and religious statement about a country I know almost nothing about and for a religion I don't believe in. I hate the tradition of stating it just as "dress in green" when there are different colors for the different religions.

Same here. Even in elementary school, I always carefully avoided green on St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Catholic, why would I celebrate St.Patrick's Day?

I did sometimes wear orange just to piss people off, even though I'm not Protestant either. I'm a little more mature now. :-)

Ever hear this song (I heard it mostly by the Irish Rovers, but I'm sure others sang it, too)?

If it ain't the biggest mixup, that you have ever seen,
Me father, he was Orange, and me mother, she was Green.
