St. Patrick’s Day is Coming
It’s only about a week and a half until St. Patrick’s Day. This is a really big deal for a lot of people. I’ve heard that there are folks who even drink green beer and turn rivers green in honor of the day.
I’m not sure what happens when you urinate after drinking green beer, and I don’t want to know. But the fact that people are willing to do that proves just how huge a festivity St. Patrick’s day is.
With this holiday almost upon us and the excitement starting to build toward the big day, it’s not too early to note that Shalampaxians don’t give a damn about St. Patrick’s Day. So don’t expect to see any further mention about it here. Enough said.
St Patrick’s day is a great excuse for a day down the pub! You even get a free hat if you know where to ask.. *nod’n'wink* But like all public holidays its really just a booster to merchandising industries, but in Pat’s day case, I dont mind
*gulps a Guinness*
@Keith: A day at the pub? Count me in! But free hats aren’t much of an inducement here. Most of us stay indoors almost all of the time due to the almost incessant inclement weather.
Why on earth would you celebrate a day that commemorates a man who lured a bunch of snakes off an island when you live on an island that is already snake-free? Makes no sense I tell you.
@David: Exactly!
