Why Saint Patrick's Day?

Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

Which one from the 1980s? There were several Doctors in the 1980s. This control panel is from the late 1970s to early 1980s.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Haha, I will remember that.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Are you getting tired?

[pcottraux]

You're so good, your tennis opponents aren't really other "players." More like "victims."

[Victoria Delsoul]

I workout every day to keep everything up, LOL.

[pcottraux]

Hips are the best. They definitely need to make a comeback.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

No I mean the theme music, there were two guys, I think two scots that made a dance re-mix of the DW theme. They mixed it with Gary Glitter's Rock & Roll song - the one everyone hears at sporting events now. I can't think of what they called themselves. They had Daleks mixed in and everything.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm not that good... just OK.

[Army Air Corps]

"Do you remember the one from the late 80's? Who was that?"

Okay, are you talking about this guy (Sylvester McCloy)?

[Army Air Corps]

There was that mix (pretty cool) and KLF did a mix that included Daleks screaming "Destroy" and "Exterminate".

[pcottraux]

You're so good, you don't get to play tennis...tennis gets to be played by you.

The most of the undergrad girls on campus have no danged hips or lovely contours - their figures are straight as a board.

There is a happy medium and I like the happy medium! :)

[Army Air Corps]

G-d bless you for that! :-)

"There is a happy medium and I like the happy medium! :)"

Too right.

Found this joke...

It was Paddy and Seamus giving the motorcycle a ride on a brisk autumn day. After a wee bit, Paddy who was sitt'n behind Seamus on the bike began to holler ..."Seamus ... Seamus ... the wind is cutt'n me chest out!"

"Well, Paddy my lad," said Seamus, "why don't you take your jacket off and turn it from front to back ... that'll block the wind for you."

So Paddy took Seamus' advice and turned his jacket from front to back and got back on the bike and the two of them were off down the road again. After a bit, Seamus turned to talk to Paddy and was horrified to see that Paddy was not there. Seamus immediately turned the bike around and retraced their route. When after a short time he came to a turn and saw a bunch of farmers standing around Paddy who was sitting on the ground.

"T'anks be to heaven, is he alright?" Seamus hailed to the farmers.

"Well," said one of the farmers, " he was alright when we found him here .. but since we turned his head back to front .. he hasn't said a word since!"

[SFC Chromey]

ouch, that'll leave a mark.

[Victoria Delsoul]
