If you aren't celebrating it today, I hope you are at least drinking some green beer this weekend. St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays, and not just because I like to booze it up. In the days of pleasure police and the PC nazis, having a drinking holiday around is a refreshing reminder of the finer things in life.
I encourage everyone to live by The General's motto.
Live the good life. Drink, smoke, gamble, feast, joke, fornicate and be tolerant of those who do. Take risks and thrive for the good challenge. Work hard and play hard without going over the edge. Live in the moment. Believe in moderation in all things, including moderation. Live it up!Life is finite. You might as well enjoy it while you can. Drive an SUV, smoke if you want to, drink, fornicate. Do what you want, as long as you don't deprive anyone else in their pursuit of the same.
Live free or die, brother. Live free or die.
Happy St. Patrick's Day
I'm at work. Bummer...

The same way they won't kiss the Blarney Stone. As friends of mine from the area have said, "The locals piddle on it as a joke on the tourists".
Tip a pint of good stout, instead.
I drank rum and coke with a couple of friends for about 8 hours yesterday. Maybe even solid hours.
