I know St. Patrick's day is every 9th generation Irish-American college kid with a fake ID's favorite day of the year, but it is really fucking annoying.
1. Drinking on the street doesn't make you cool. It makes you a loser reeking of beer at 11am on a Saturday morning as you watch Mayor Daley and some horses walk by.
2. So you're really Polish, French, and German but you want to pretend to be Irish for a day? Go buy, eat, and finish a traditional Irish breakfast. Then you can put as many four leaf clover stickers on your face as will fit.
3. St. Patrick wasn't Irish, he was a Roman Britain-born missionary that was kidnapped by Irish raiders and worked as a slave for 6 years. He later returned to his home and family only to come back and take out his revenge on the country that enslaved him. He did so, by chasing out the snakes, or in other words killing or converting the Druids and Pagans to Christianity. Though there is no record connecting ol' Pat to any church in Ireland.
So, happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Enjoy your corned beef and cabbage, brought to you by the souls of murdered pagans.
