Drinky wins hands down.

Also, I hate St. Paddy's Day. I drink Guinness like its water every chance I get...

Though, I guess this is the one year anniversary of the Storming of New Orleans. I'll bump thread for some reminiscence tomorrow, maybe.

it's more depressing to roll with My Lai.

I forgot all about St. Patrick's Day until I saw all the name changes.

I probably won't do shit tomorrow.

since my avatar has an irish flag in the background, i am exempt from this name changing.

I just realized I needed to change my name.
So I did.

man, I hate this holiday. One of the 3 nights of the year I outright refuse to go anywhere the fuck near a bar. and that says something.

Would that be the Ballyconneely McMacO'MickO'Os or the no-account Skibbereenan McMacO'MickO'O's ? Won't truck with that lot , Paddy's Day or no, tell yez that fer naught.

I refuse to go most weekends because of the crowds, let alone a weekend like this.

I love this holiday, but hate the green beer. An Irish Bar in Lincoln frequented by indie musicians has this awesome Cornbeef dinner for $5 a plate, all you can eat. The owner's wife makes these wonderful Irish potatos made with Guinness and Caraway seeds.
It's the only time of the year that Irish Whiskey is dirt cheap at the bars.

I'm staying in and watching basketball.

<--- Sucker

I can't think of a variation on my except for maybe DrunkJack, but that's hardly just for March 17th.

Any holiday that promotes excessive drinking is alright in my book-- St. Paddy's, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Groundhog Day.... the list is endless.

i'm playing not once, but twice with your friends band.
they added my other band to the bill.

I thought about just changing my name to my real name, but then just went with the last name added on.

i'm not.
it brings the idiots out to my neighborhood.
i like people who get drunk because it's wednesday.

red is for commies. i'm all about the green.

i'm stuck with a f***ing irish last name since i'm too lazy to change it back to my purty polish last name.

atta boy. you're playing on friday? because, while i'd love to be there, I am not hitting up south street on st. patrick's day without a crowbar and a lot of poison darts.

Exactly, I hate going to the bar on March 17th, because every lightweight in the world comes out and gets stupid drunk and end up sounding like Harrigan.

so... it's patty's, right? as in, short for paTrick?

Hey guys, nowhere did I mention holidays that promote bar-drinking... I said holidays that promote drinking in general, which typically revolves around family. It's okay to get a six pack of Smithwicks and hang at the house.

See you in Attica.

If you're serious, I actually think it is with D's in order to distinguish the difference between masculine and feminine. I could be wrong, but I believe that Patricks tend to be Paddys and Patricias tend to be Pattys

Like Paddy Casey...?

I thought I'd join the name change fun too.

Can't we let the terrorists win every once in a while?

The Paddy most likely comes from the classic american slang work for Irish people, especially Irish cops in NYC and New York at the start of the 20th Century, i.e. Paddy Wagon.
Many people with the name Patrick like myself do get called Paddy and I'm sure many Irishmen use it as an abbreviation like I use Pat.
I've always wanted to be called a stupic Mick bastard by someone, but it hasn't happened yet.
