Blue J Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I just asked a couple of guys who I work with if they know what St. Patrick's Day is actually about, besides green beer. They couldn't tell me. Even when I drank alcohol, I never drank green beer. The only Irish person I know of for sure here is Hatchet Pete, and I haven't seen him around today...so can anyone else tell me what St. Patrick's Day is truly about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the type of holidaze that has a little different meaning for everyone.

JohnnyBlaze Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thinking... (1) When an American says they're Irish wouldn't it be the same as an Irish person saying they're American? I never hear the latter but I've heard the former a billion times. (2) Valentine's Day is notorious for being too commercial but why doesn't Saint Patrick's Day get the same rap? Many, if not most, don't even know what the day actually is. Just sayin'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's kind of my point in #2. Chocolate companies get ripped to shit about pushing chocos but nobody seems to mind beer peddlers. Don't get me wrong, I love beer (and chocolate) BUT I don't get the selective dissing. Diss both, or diss neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt random office workers in Guadalajara are saying, "Hey, it's July 4th! Let's get trashed tonight!" But I can guarantee tons of dudes & dudettes on May 5th in Anytown USA will don a sombrero and tequila themselves into oblivion all in the name of a commemoration day they know nothing about ((and it's not Mexico's Independence Day btw)).

(And the question I posted yesterday asking what the day is really about, besides green beer, really was serious. And I know, I got a serious answer or two, maybe). An excuse to take the day off work and start getting drunk at 5:30 AM...no thanks. But happy St. Paddy's Day to everybody anyway.
