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!

OK, I just changed the statement on my page. It's clear now.

[nunya bidness]

Then practice, practice, go to the bar, and practice.

[Army Air Corps]

Howdy, Tulip.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, what bar? Want to expand a little?

I used to have a collection of Dr. Who themes (I had the major versions from Pertwee on through to McCloy). There is a CD available that is a musical tribute to Dr. Who.

[nunya bidness]

I'm just happy that I can type at this point.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, I think I know you by now.

So just to set the record straight and make it clear that 5'7” 125 lbs, is healthy - not scrawny at all.

You should put "And I've got the pictures to prove it!" in there.

[nunya bidness]

Oh really? I'll have you know that I didn't have a drop of beer tonight.

[Victoria Delsoul]

No need, the pictures are already there.

[SFC Chromey]

[Victoria Delsoul]

Absolutely.

Well, it was fun. Good night everyone, sweet dreams.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Asta La Bye Bye.

[nunya bidness]

[Army Air Corps]

Head on'er to here. Each Doctor has a page with clips (including their individual title sequences) - most cool.

[tuliptree76]

Hi AAC. How are you doing?

[Army Air Corps]

Sleep well.

[Paul_Denton]

LOL yeah I am kind of a slow reader.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Hehehe.

Irishman, Englishman and a German are caught in Saudi Arabia drinking. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like?" said the prison guard to the Englishman just before lashing him.

The English man, being a bit of a cricket fan, asked for linseed oil. When they lashed him on a post and let him go to catch his flight back to London he groaned and crawled to the airport. Next came the German. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like?" said the prison guard "Nothing" said the German and, after receiving his lashes spat on the ground, called the prison guards Schisers and started off towards the airport. The guards then came to the Irishman.

"Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would you like?" "Oh", replied the Irishman, "I'll take the German".

Well, I watched the much anticipated US debut of the new Doctor Who series on Sci-Fi, so I am quite happy. There is a bit of melancholy, though, because I want to see some of the older episodes and no one braodcasts them in the US anymore (the PBS station in San Antonio did, the one here does not).
