Well, that was unexpected news, LOL! (Not.)
Anybody ever been in Savannah on St. Patrick’s Day?
String a week’s worth of St. Patrick’s Days together and you get Carnival, or Oktoberfest, or Mardi Gras. Yeah, whatever - - St. Patrick’s Day gives the amateurs something to talk about.
Check out pic 22 ,October fest reminds me of when I was a Lad.
Isn't that Barney Frank?
Obviously a Journalism School Graduate - Anybody else notice the duplication of 2 & 8? Just because you name something different in 2 different countries, it is still the same if it marks the same occasion - in this case the last 'fun days' before the penitential season of Lent. Then again, in the aggressively secular world of journalism, they probably have to look up 'Lent' in the dictionary in order to spell it right.
I don't know, looks like George Soros to me.
Any time The Lyin’ King is on TV, and reads certain Key Words off the TOTUS, is a DRINKING HOLIDAY, as one must chug-a-Lug an Obligatory Swig on the following:
1. Unexpected
2. Unprecedented
3. Inherited
4. Hope
5. Change
6 Previous Administration’s Fault
Agreed, Carnival and Mardi Gras are the same Holiday, and Chanukah which is considered a fine week for a Good Bender was left out.
Not to mention Passover where even Elijah is given a glass of wine!
every day is a drinking holiday in Ireland.
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
The 31st of any month
The 29th of any month
The 28th of any month
There ya go...the top ten!!!
Now,that would be a tickle party!
Other than NYC, Savannah has the biggest celebration I’ve ever seen ... a wild time for sure along the river and Bull Street in the beautiful city of “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil”
Its always been my impression that Thanksgiving was one of the heaviest drinking holidays. Plus its tops for violent fights at the dinner table, or right after the table is cleared. Family members who don’t really like each other are forced to spend time together “for the family”. Plus they don’t have the camouflage of good will and smiling kids that Christmas brings.
If it were up to me, I'd just cut to the chase and have all those damn kids spend the night at Wal-Mart. Save a lot of aggravation for everybody, that's for sure.
So when I get home from work on Halloween, I hit the booze right away so that when the doorbells start their incessant ringing, I'd at least be dulled to the experience a little.
One good part of Halloween is that it's the traditional night I light my first fire in the fireplace. So when all the kids have gone home to gorge on their candy, I can at least sit by the fire with a glass of brandy and read some Edgar Allan Poe.
I thought that was Barney, too, LOL!
I’m German. We don’t need an excuse to drink beer. :)
