    OK, so I'm early. But since it falls on a Saturday this year, thought I'd wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day, today.

    Slainte!!!

    I would just like to say, St. Patrick's Day is one of the best holidays of the year. Don't forget to GO GREEN! And your local Bennigans will be celebrating big time. I think I'll head there for a turkey o'toole tomorrow.

    Don't drink and drive, or I will personally feed your balls to your nostrils...

    No offense, but that is only slighly more authentically Irish than eating a bag of cool ranch Doritos on Cinco de Mayo.

    i think she's in waco...not a lot of irish culture celebrated in waco.

    lots of good stuff here, though. (not like boston, chicago or ny, however). i'm taking my older boy to the parade saturday afternoon downtown...and then meeting up with friends for guinness and march madness later that night.

    i beg to differ...there will be a face painter at Bennigan's tomorrow...nothing screams IRISH like a Shamrock on my face.

    plussss, you can't pwn me...my name before my mom re-married was Shannon McDonough. A little more IRISHY than Sam Fisher, eh?? ;)

    Don't they call St. Patrick's day in Boston Evacuation Day as that was also the day the British troops left Boston during the Revolutionary War?

    Well at the very least you have to vomit by noon, at least that's the way it's done back east.

    This is from last summer but just as relevant now.

    Snakes on a Plane - The Serfs

    When St. Patrick came to Ireland
    The place was overrun
    There were vipers and adders
    And pythons by the ton
    He could’ve hoisted them with a crane
    He could’ve put them on a train
    The one thing he didn’t do
    Was put those snakes on a plane

    He proceeded play on his pipe
    And blew a mighty note
    Those snakes all scattered
    Like a pack of billy goats
    He chased them in the rain
    He chased them with disdain
    What he didn’t do
    Was put those snakes on a plane

    So now when you fly Aer Lingus
    Be careful what you pack
    Check your luggage well
    Incase there’s a cobra in your sack
    It doesn’t matter if you’re insane
    Even in the membrane
    Just don’t bring
    Those snakes on a plane

    And just in case you forget
    Always remember this song
    Even if you’re weak in the head
    You’ll still be strong
    When you’re drunk on champagne
    Just sing this refrain
    And don’t bring
    Those snakes on a plane
