It wasn't the hunger strike, it was the dirty protest.

In order to balance the evil perpetrated by my people, it has been thrust upon me to be the one well-endowed, teetotaling Irishman amongst the masses of NYC. 'tis a lonely life I lead.

if you need a holiday to have an excuse to drink before noon, pick up some barely legal ass, and boot and rally by 3 p.m., then there's two words you need to hear: amateur hour.

Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day -- everyone who chooses to celebrate it, that is. Therefore, everyone's a drunken asshole on St. Patrick's Day. This isn't discrimination against any particular ethnic group, but rather against drunken assholes. I'm totally fine with that, actually.

@schvitzatura: Yes, I have. However, I have no Irish in me whatsoever. Will not make the "but I'd like some" joke. Oops.

"Some people do get out of control, but to focus on that day, and on certain segments of the population like that, is totally wrongheaded."

I didn't even know wrongheaded was a word until today.
And like most of McDonald's crap, the McRib was fucking foul. Lucky Charms though, whole other story.

@ Sev:

Ain't never heard of no Black Irish?

Who do you think invented the McRib, Lucky Charms, huh?

Shamrock Shake?

Well why not? Most of the Thirsty McSweaterheads are like 17th generation (i.e. Americans from Long Islan, not Irish ya eejits) anyway.

@ Truculent: I cannot wait to be one more loud asshole on the subway. Hopefully my "Kiss Me I'm Irish" pin will cancel out my Mediterranean features for a day. (That's all it takes to be Irish, right?)

@momo: I feel your pain. Except that I actually am Irish and I drink because of choice as well as addiction. So wait, fuck you, asshole. Buy me a drink.

The poteen and lashings of green draught on the LIRR was to help kick-off the spring offensive against the Vandal tribes of Tapeuppia and Lower Blowoutsylvania.

Now just intestinal fortitude will have to suffice.

May the ghost of Brian Boru protect and keep ye, Hibs!

Don't forget - I warned you people it was a slippery slope back when they demanded an end to Puerto Rican Pride Day rapings.

Equally annoying as all the shit-faced Paddies are the Irish wannabes who do their part to maintain the drunken lout charisma that is so much a part of the day. If your name is Vinny, stumbling around in a green plastic bowler hat doesn't make you Irish. It just makes you one more loud asshole on the subway.

being a strawberry blonde, my aryan/nordic good looks are at times mistaken for irish, to which i typically respond, "no, i drink by choice and not addiction and i have a decently-sized cock" to which my questioner usually replies, "you're a fuckin' asshole" at which time i buy them a pint and a shot (and of course another for myself).

yeah, i love irish pubs. just not on st. patrick's day. except ear inn. i'll go there any day.

I think the city should move the parades for St. Patrick's Day and Puerto Rican Day on the same weekend.
