Happy St. Paddy’s Day to all our friends!

We hope you have a chance to eat some “sody bread” and drink some green beer. Have a little corned beef and cabbage, too, lads and lassies. It may not be authentic, but it’s authentically Irish-American.  Just like this guy:

So to all our friends, Irish or not:

Saol fada agus breac-shláinte chugat.

(Long-life and fair health to you. Which sounds a lot like “Live long and prosper.”)

May God bless the ground we all walk upon.

In other words, may God bless the United States of America.

  1. I’m old enough to remember St. Patrick’s day festivities before the police state, and this was a great holiday for everyone.

    We’d all cut school, and turn an entire subway car into a rolling party until we got out near Central Park. Once you were there, you met up with thousands of other high school kids from all over the city, and it was a joyous atmosphere of music, drinking, screwing in the bushes, and general happiness.

    Then one year a million pigs showed up and ruined it for everyone. I think that was ’81, or ’82, but from then onward all you heard about the holiday that we all previously loved and enjoyed was the debate about gays being in the parade.

    All of the things Americans used to enjoy have been crushed, and these days the only “entertainment” you’re allowed is tightly controlled, and is only accessible after you’re searched, photographed, and forced to walk through a metal detector.

    Freedom? It’s only a fond memory. If you’re less than 35 years old, you’re too young to have ever seen freedom.

    1. But as I do believe that “Shively” is an Irish name, I have to say “Happy St. Pat’s” to Henry here.

      1. Shivley is a German name, but as my mother’s maiden name was Foster, Happy St. Paddy’s Day is quite appropriate, so right back at ya! 🙂

  2. A day where you can wear green, get drunk, puke and pass out and be totally legal BUT if you smoke green you go to pass go, do not collect $200, and go directly to prison
