Do you celebrate St Patricks day?

[Unorthodox]

Bah humbug. 

[Buster's Uncle]

I have on a green t-shirt, but that's by accident.

[Unorthodox]

Mom always made us eat corned beef and caggage. 

It was a day I would end up going hungry. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah; for me it was just the risk of getting punched on the arm at school...

[Lorizael]

No, and I legitimately don't know what this holiday is supposed to be about.

[ColdWizard]

No, and I legitimately don't know what this holiday is supposed to be about.

Drinking beer and/or claiming Irish ancestry, as far as I can tell.

[Buster's Uncle]

...And punching other boys on the arm if they don't wear green to school...

...And punching other boys on the arm if they don't wear green to school...

That didn't happen to me much but I may have actually owned something green back then. By high school I think they had started introducing zero tolerance policies and no one wanted to get suspended for something as trivial as St. Patrick's Day.

[Unorthodox]

Don't really know why some saints have a "day" and the rest get rolled into All Saints Day.

[Buster's Uncle]

Too many saints.  Really.

[Unorthodox]

Right, but why Patrick, Valentines, and Walpurgis?  (probably others, but the ones off the top of my head)

[Unorthodox]

Nick.  Can't forget Nick.

I don't celebrate it any more. During elementary school there was a custom that you could pinch anyone not wearing green. So I made the effort back then (the year I opted for green socks was painful as most kids didn't notice them).

I do have Irish ancestry on my mother's side, though. I love Irish music and dance (as long as it's not Riverdance on a neverending loop).

Today will not be spent doing anything remotely "St. Paddy-ish."

That said, since I love cute smileys, here is my St. Patrick's greeting to everyone here:

Pornhub: Website Says 'Leprechaun' Searches Jumped More Than 8,000 Percent St. Patrick's Day 2015

The adult film website released statistics on searches made on St. Patrick's Day last year. "Believe it or not, some people do search 'Leprechaun' throughout the year," the website added.

I said "Yay beer!" because I had a Guinness with dinner.

My paternal ancestry/Y chromosome is Irish, although I was told differently when my grandfather was alive. I've seen the documentation for the D.A.R. and clearly, the paternal sire came from Ireland and served 3 tours with George Washington.

I've since been to Ireland and loved it. I have some nice Irish Rugby Jerseys, but today I'm working in dust and sweat, and not wearing one. As a protestant, St. Patrick loses some luster. I was contrary enough to refuse to wear green to school.

Best part of St. Patrick's Day is that I can find Irish soda bread in the bakery. So Yay beer, Yay bread!
