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!

Really? How interesting. Do tell.

[ilovew]

As long as it was only once or twice :)

[carlr]

How are you tonight?

[tuliptree76]

Different people like different types. I've learned that if someone thinks I'm too fat, or too short, or too whatever, I just say "goodbye" and move on. Life's too short to worry about things like that.

[ilovew]

That's good. I always knew my alcohol tolerance would be a bit low so I'm careful. I've never been a fan of people who get really drunk and act completely out of character. I never forget who I am.

[RockinRight]

That's absolutely right!

[tuliptree76]

I'm the one sitting on the sideline watching the dancing and drinking Sprite.

[peacebaby]

what a pleasure, carlr! How are you?

[pcottraux]

Well, maybe "interesting" is a misnomer.

My parents went to a concert today so I had the whole day to myself. I went off and drove around town a little bit looking for "Now Hiring" signs. Didn't find any; I guess Saturday's not the best day for that kind of thing. But I went to the mall and walked around a little bit. And I ate at the Italian place there.

Then I came home and the rest of the "day to myself" was pretty boring.

That's an interesting day for a boring guy like me.

[proud_yank]

Will there be a party tonight?

LOL, I'll tap, you pump!

Hows it going?

[RockinRight]

Not too bad of a day!

[pcottraux]

I don't see anyone with a Sprite. I'd say I'm the guy off to the side with his arms folded.

[carlr]

Good,getting ready to call it a night though.

Nice to see your friend out as well last night.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

What kinda job you looking for?

[pcottraux]

Desperately searching in vain for anything I can possibly find. That includes Minimum Wage, but I can't even find any of that.

[proud_yank]

Hows everyone doing? LOTS of snow here last night & today. Thank God I just got an SUV, not only is 4-wd great, but my contributions to global warming will help melt it.

[pcottraux]

The weather was clear and in the mid-to-upper 60s.

[RockinRight]

Not bad tonight. Trying to liven things up here.

[tuliptree76]

I'm doing fine. How are you?

[Clemenza]

The type of woman I like:

Full breasts, full lips, full rear end, and dark, bedroom eyes.

It sickens me when I see all of these boys on the runway. Of course, since most fashion designers are gay, should we be surprised that the women are built like boys.

Most men like woman who are built like WOMEN! There is NO NEED to go to the gym unless its for health reasons. The "toned look" didn't exist until the 1970s ya know.

Now for some eye candy:
