St. Patrick's Day: An excuse to let the Chicago River be its natural color.

St. Patrick's Day: In Celtic, whiskey means "water of life", but for you it means "water of dropping that girl's panties."

Round these parts we refer to it as "liquid panty remover."

Re: St. Patrick's Day

The holiday needs a slogan. As a non-Irishman, here are my proposals:

St. Patrick's Day: Because some people give up their dignity for Lent.

St. Patrick's Day: For 364 days of the year, you're glad that you aren't Irish. This is how we balance the equation.

St. Patrick's Day: You still like U2. Just admit it.

St. Patrick's Day: Do you need another reason to celebrate great alcohol and terrible food?

St. Patrick's Day: Just spew it.

St. Patrick's Day: Because your mother never let you listen to Denis Leary.

St. Patrick's Day: In Celtic, whiskey means "water of life", but for you it means "water of dropping that girl's panties."

St. Patrick's Day: An excuse to let the Chicago River be its natural color.

St. Patrick's Day: Don't you want to look like Rick Astley?

Re: St. Patrick's Day

Oh the churchbells are ringin' in the schoolyard,
And we all went out those days
The bully said "Mick would you fancy a rumble?"
I said "Yes, it's time to play!"

Oh the nuns and the priests they grabbed their Rosaries
As they pulled our bodies apart
The bully said "Mick you lost the fight, but you've gained my respect!
You fight with so much heart!"

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ***!
You better kiss my Irish ***!

Oh the husbands and wives, they had a neighborhood pack
They called the Mackeys white trash behind our backs (White Trash! )
I was way too young to understand that
But if I did, I'd given it right back

Oh me dad, he'd be drunk on the lawn,
Yelling and screaming like he do
But sometimes my old man felt what he was feeling,
Sometimes Mr. Mackey spoke the truth

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ***!
You better kiss my Irish ***!

Oh me grandpa passed through Ellis Island,
From the greatest of the Motherlands
For he worked, provided for his family
He was a dedicated welding man
And he knew right from wrong like day and night,
He could whip any fool in a bareknuckle fight
He talked of country like he preached of God,
One hell of an Irishman!

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ***!
You better kiss my Irish ***!

Oooohh, I'm of a distant relation to John Redman,
He was one of the greatest Irish Rebels of his day
One bastard to another, on down the line
And this is what my son will say:

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ***!
We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ***!
You better kiss my Irish ***!

Re: St. Patrick's Day

To use a quote from Sommerville/Ross' novel, The Real Charlotte, "Fiddle Dee Dee!"

What is up with the angry Soprano Murphy video? Fer'christsakes, that's embarassing...give me the Clancy Brothers any day!

Re: St. Patrick's Day

Today, we're all a little Irish, even this Greek fella.

Re: St. Patrick's Day

So this Irishman walks into a bar.





What's the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?
One less drunk.


Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.
4. He always hung out with his jobless friends, having a few drinks.

Re: St. Patrick's Day

Q: How many Irishmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Five. One to hold the lightbulb, and the other four to drink until the room spins.


Guinness floats for dessert tonight. That's right, when making a root beer float, substitute Guinness.

Re: St. Patrick's Day

May all of you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

And don't forget, that an Irishman is never drunk as long as he has two blades of grass to hang onto.

Re: St. Patrick's Day

Here's to being single, drinking doubles, and seeing triple!

I'm sure I'll have some whiskey and some Guinness today.

"The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots haven't seen the joke yet." - Oliver Herford

Later today, Guinness on tap and a side of Jameson.

Re: St. Patrick's Day

I'll drink to that!

I know Natalie's from Nova Scotia but Celtic all the same.
