I have a couple pints of Guiness chilling in the fridge when I get home.
Sure and BeGora, the SyFy Channel is having a Leprechan festival
Happy St Patrick's Day!

To me, St Patrick's Day is bittersweet. In 1956 it's the day we lost Fred Allen, one of my favorite comedians. So if you drink today, drink a toast to Fred!!

Some of his quotes:
A committee is a group of the unprepared, appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary
An actor's popularity is fleeting. His success has the life expectancy of a small boy who is about to look into a gas tank with a lighted match.
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.
I don't have to look up my family tree, because I know that I'm the sap
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
Television is the triumph of machine over people.
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
What's on your mind, if you will allow the overstatement?
Thanks!

Alas, though I have a smidge of Irish blood, it's one of my most hated NYC days -
- mainly, it's an excuse for out-of-town High Schoolers to come and barf on our streets!
Happy St. Paddy's Day!!
And a Happy St Patrick's Day to you all!
And it ain't complete without a ceilidh. So grab a jar and "Once Round the Parlour an' Mind the Cupboard!"

Frank McCourt also hated St Patrick's Day. I have Irish on both side of my parents (my mother's maiden name was McCuddin), which explains my life long infatuation with Ireland.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all! *** Fester*** I have never heard anyone else sing that song except The Dropkick Murphys! I knew it was probably an old song, but I don't get out much! I really enjoyed that version, it was a lot easier to sing along with. Thank you :)
I don't have any Irish blood just red blood.
90% Irish. My GGPs came from County Cork Ireland in the 1850s. I'm not much into this day since it is a mostly Catholic day and I am not christian but I had a "few wee shots" of Bushmills 1608 Irish Whiskey and a couple brews. Still miss my moms corned beef dinner. She passed on 5 years ago but St. Pattys at her house was a glutfest. >:D
I am like a laboratory created thoroughbred drinking monster: 50% Irish, 40% Polish and 10% German. Belated Happy St Patrick's Day!

The earliest mention of the song I know of is about 1850. So, by Irish standards, it is a fairly recent song. I love The Dropkick Murphys and their re-workings of classic Irish songs is wonderful. Several years ago, the Pogues crossed over from punk to record some more traditional tunes. Check them out--plenty of clips on Utube.
Whoa, that is an old song! I adore the Pogues, I've listened to them for at least 15 years. Dropkick is our family favorite, they are great live! My son is really into Flogging Molly, but for some reason, I really don't have any of their stuff except for on compilation cds. Our family is an Irish-wannabe family. What great music and history they have shared with US. Now I wanna go listen to If I should Fall From Grace with G_d. Yay
I'm a mix of Irish & German, so my idea of a well balanced meal is, a drink in each hand!
