Because of problems in last year's parade fire captains across the city are telling the rank and file in the FDNY absolutely no drinking before noon if you're marching.
St. Patrick's Day will always be special to me for 2 reasons: 1) The best concert I have ever seen was on a St. Patrick's Day in seeing Wilco in Nashville 2) That same St. Patrick's Day, I was told about a woman who wanted to go out with me. I called her about 10 days later (my contact for her went on vacation shortly after St. Patrick's Day); little did I know that this woman would become my wife.
same as manny... met my wife on St. Pats day. Plus I'm half Irish (going to take it easy this year hopefully )
I think I am going to do the Bennigan's thing too. Sure it's hokey and crap but it is an Irish bar, regardless if it is a chain or not. Plus the Bennigan's near me is near about 4 other bars I can hang out at. Seems all my hang out friends are busy, so I will be flying solo. Never hurt my feelings before, won't hurt them this time either.
DUDE!!!! Thank you so much - I heard this song in "The Departed" and I wanted to get my hands on it. YOU ROCK!!! I'm a big fan of Celtic folk and rock stuff.
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven! Be Careful, have fun, and happy St. Patrick's day to Rocket's fans
And Celtics just did the improbable and beat the Spurs in San Antonio wearing some sweet SPD green. Happy St. Patrick's Day indeed...
I spent the day in a firends annual St. Patty's Day golf tournament in Austin. Lots of drinking (you have to take a shot on every par 3 before putting) and a good time had by all. It might have been the best golf I've ever played, too. Paying for it today with a nice sunburn and hangover.
