Always wondered where the "Paddy" came from. Good to know. I had an Irish uncle named Paddy . . . Paddy O'Furniture. :)
My shirt says "Kiss me, I'm shitfaced." Kind of Irish. :)

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

A buddy of mine over here in Korea gave his wife an "Irish Yoga" T-shirt. It show many drunks laying about furniture in various states drunkeness! Funny as hell.
:)When they return from vacation in Canada, I'll try to remember and post a photo.

Yep, hence the term 'Plastic Paddy' -



Also relevant is the term "Paddy wagon."

Good to remind your Irish friends tomorrow that their patron saint was an Englishman.

Old Saint Patrick's Day prayer: Lord, you know our enemies. Turn their hearts. If you will not turn their hearts, then turn their ankles, so that we shall know them by their limping.

Oh come on, everybody is Irish on St Patrick's day. Just like everybody is Mexican on Cinco de Mayo. It's just an excuse to drink and be silly.:P



You need an excuse to drink and be silly???? Amateur. :D

Oh my gods ... it's 'Plastic Paddy' time of year again ... get a fucking life.

Well, we got the Brits on here giving crap to the Irish Americans. May I remind them that England's patron saint, Saint George, was a guy who was not a Briton and never set foot anywhere near Britain.:P

Depending on the source you look at St. George may well have been an Arian heretic and the dragon he slew might be a representation of Athanasius, a champion of Orthodoxy who earned the sobriquet the Lion of Nicea.

Ah, yes, the annual enabling of alcoholics and drunk drivers. I just texted my 2 kids (off at college) to be super-careful on (or preferably stay off off) the roads tonight. I won't breathe tonight until my wife gets home safely from her evening commute, and both the kids call us to say they're in for the night.

We don't really celebrate St days (that sound too catholic for us :P )

But most folks over there aren't Irish and never had any Irish in them (apart from maybe a few inches!!) - it's just an excuse for a party ... but really fucked up to pretend that you're something that you're not.

Thing is, we don't care about St. George - we might as well have Austin Powers as a patron saint. We might show more interest in St. George's day if it was a public holiday, but - it ain't. :(

As a Brit in the US this sort of thing annoys me. Stop pretending to be something other than American and then your country might start to develop it's own culture and
traditions.

Even yoghurt will develop it's own culture if you leave it long enough.

I met a girl in a pub last week who said "I am Finnish" to which I replied "What, proper Finnish?"

- "Oh yes"
- "Where in Finland are you from?"
- "Well I've never actually been there"!

To make matters worse, her (American) boyfriend had a Finnish tattoo on his arm!
