Just wishing everyone the best on this, the coolest holy-day ever! I don't like Xmas..
OK, I know I'm supposed to be half-tanked by now, but I'm not long out of bed, and I've a project presentation to have in for Friday, and finals in a month-and-a-half, so I'm gonna go easy on the lush today/tonight.
You know what this means, don't you?
You're all going to have to get steamed in my stead!!
From First of Two and his vacation, to CC moving to Seattle.
From JeffKardde and Omega tearing strips out of each other in the Flameboard, to Nimrod tending his turnips on some chilly Swedish hillside.
From Ultra Magnus thinking up funny things to say about others in his little room, to the lately-departed Darkstar.
From Gurgeh belting away aethiestically on his project while I piss my time away, to Ziyal and her wild Wiccan ways.
From Sol System calculating how best to sit down without injuring himself, to Timo lying in stasis figuring everything out.
From Yakaspat and Treknophyle and all those trying to organise a starship from scratch over on Starships, to those Forumites in Britain that have to tolerate my kin today (and their hangovers tomorrow ) [Starbuck, Psyliam, Vogon Poet, Orion Syndicate, and The Antagonist, to name a few].
To all that I can't think of something to say to/about.
Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Well, it's 2:19 here, and I had one guiness, two lagers and a big fucked-up Irish Coffee during P-DAY! That should do it. And now the clock switched from P-DAY to pee-day...

Vogon? My cousin is married to a guy from Ireland. He said he was going to have a huge breakfast then go pub-hopping. You sure it's fake?

*gives the Irish blood coursing through his brain a shake and tries to remember how much of St. Paddy's is real.*
As far as Ireland is concerned, St Paddy's has always had a bit of a party mentality there as it has always been the only day in Lent in which the church there allows everyone to cheat, and hence they make up for the previous two or three weeks and drink in place of the the remaining weeks. But it's still officially a religious holiday (mass in the am), although given present church attendance figures in RoI these days, who knows how popular this aspect is...
Once the Irish came to America and there was all sorts of nasty Anti-Catholic discrimantion and stuff, it became something of an "Irish Pride Day" with parades etc. to show Americans that the Irish weren't so drunk they couldn't walk down the street. The fact that afterwards they'd crowd into the pubs and get tanked to high heaven must've skipped the organizers minds.
In any case, drinking to excess in the name of all things Irish is kosher. (now there's a mixed metaphor). But Green Beer and Parades and Leprechauns and "Kiss me I'm Irish at heart" and all that shit are American inventions I'm afraid (and very nice American inventions if you work in St. James' Gate, I might add.)

ladzzz...last night...I was "this" sloshedzz....hehehe
Actually, most of my friends were gone for the weekend and those left were broke, so I just settled for a few cans and other stuff, and had a quiet relaxing evening.
Unlike those I was listening to outside all night, roaring and yelling and being merry. The only ones up at this hour are young children and old couples.
So, for all those interested, now would be the best time to invade.
P.S. Sorry, I thought Antagonist was English. My bad.
