Green beer...why must you be so tasty??? - robert goulet - 03-18-2005

Owwwwwwww....damn you Ireland and your tasty beer, intoxicating music and green and orange clothing...every year you woo me in, and then cast me aside at 3:00 am to collapse in a heap of drunkenness only to awake with foggy memories and an unrelenting headache.

Yet through all of that I still have to say that there's something about St. Patty's that just screams good times. It is fast becoming my favourite drinking day of the year. New Years is always a dud, your birthday is usually enjoyable except for that depressing feeling of knowing you've just gotten older, but so rarely are you around a collection of people in great spirits with nothing but getting completely trashed on their minds.

Saint Patrick god bless you and the leprechauns you rode in on.

Goulet!!!

I took an early Medieval British history course last term. I think St. Patrick's Day is great...but what does a Pictish monk have to do with getting hammered?

Weren't those monks expert brewers who consumed nothing during lent except their handcrafted potables? And I believe St. Patrick died on March 17 (during lent), which Irish Catholics would celebrate anually with a big drink & dance festival.

I thought that was the tie between drinking & Seynt Pahtee's Dey, but I suppose that could be just a myth......

I like the holiday, one because of some distant Irish heritage and the other because being named Patrick on St Patty's Day is like standing under the misletoe at a Hooter's Christmas party. It's such a great way to start coversation and meet at least moderately attractive blonde university students.

Cheers

(St) Pat
