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!

[Supernatural]

I would be happy to buy you all the Margaritas you could drink. Fill'er up on me!

[RockinRight]

Welcome!

[Supernatural]

I wondered where you were. This thread ain't the same without you.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Did you sleep well?

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Really?!?!?! Thanks!!!! I totally crashed out this afternoon. I must have been out for 3 to 4 hours.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Neat site. I did recognize a few of the songs.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Is Hoodlum still experiencing March Madness?

[Supernatural]

You can get lost in that site for hours. My sister was here for Thanksgiving and she knows Quicksilver and Dino. I showed her the site and she was on it for almost two straight hours.

[ilovew]

Yay! Hey, wait a sec. You're not trying to get me drunk, are ya?

[WFTR]

Yes, they are

Wow, you're beautiful.

[Supernatural]

I always say that if you took a long nap then you must have needed it.

Feel better now?

[Supernatural]

How much you drink is entirely up to you.

You aren't prone to DRINKING TOO MUCH, are you?

[RockinRight]

Yup. No games tonight but she's in Philly tonight, awaiting tomorrow's games.

[Paul_Denton]

Good evening

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Don't go corrupting an innocent young girl by encouraging her to drink. ;-)

[WFTR]

Florida the land of mullets and gold chains.

There's a fish called a mullet, and they like to jump. I've had them jump into me a couple of times when I've been kayaking. One of them hit me in the side of the head. Whenever someone talks about "mullets," I have to do a double or triple take to get from fish to a hairstyle.

Doesn't seem like I have to twist her arm...

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

I did. I feel kinda lousy, actually. Think I'm going to take it way tonight.

[ilovew]

*glances around* Who told you that? I never drink too much. Just don't ask the friend that went to the beach with me.
