random St. Patrick's Day musings

[kellinator]

Even though I was aware today was St. Patrick's Day, and even though I actually am part Irish, I forgot the crucial part of said day (perhaps because I was too busy contemplating the other crucial part, i.e., drinking, and would Mexico Lindo be mobbed or would all the amateurs go to psuedo-Irish pubs) until I started reading the ol' flist with boastings of how much green one could wear. I looked down. Blue blouse, gray slacks, brown clogs. Shit. I'll have to find something green before showing up to margarita_fri or fucking EVERYONE will be pinching me all night and it'll end in blood. Lots and lots of blood. Not my blood, in case you had any doubt. Is Kellinator Jones going to have to choke a bitch?

Anyway, I've been seeing signs up since last month about something they're calling "the St. Patrick's Day season." WTF, mate? It's not Christmas. You can't stay drunk for an entire month. (Oddly, several people have argued the point with me on this one, including friends' parents and other people that I am supposed to look respectable around.)

Though I did like those... ummm... Guiness? commercials with the St. Patrick's tree and stuff. I just liked seeing the grownups acting like kids.

Where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, Happy St. Patrick's Day, don't forget to tip your server, and whatever you do, DON'T FUCKING PINCH ME.

I wanna go listen to the Pogues.

You could tell them it's the mold in your underwear that's green ... and then dare them to look.

Although, that may backfire.

I'm not wearing green tonight either. And the first fucker to pinch me is going to draw back a bloody nub.

Only I'm not nice enough to warn people first.

Have you heard about the new show, Thief? (Totally non-St. Patrick's Day related, I know . . . )

Oooooh HELL yes!! I canNOT wait!!

*squeesqueesqueeeeee!!!!*

Yay! I made a mental reminder last night when I saw the commercial again to ask you about it.

Oh, and I'm not wearing green, either, even though I, too, am part Irish. If some fucker even thinks about trying to pinch me . . .

If you need green...

You could always eat a spinach salad and smile a lot. ;-)

My local is a nice pub owned by the past presidents of the Hibernian Benevolent Society of Atlanta, and are Irish ex-pats. Nice people. Good food. They use my great-grandmom's recipes for a few foods, and serve up a nice pint. And, yes, the place will be SWAMPED.

I'll be dressed for love tonight too. I'm even wearing my boots.

For St Pats this year I got my green on by winning two games of Warlord with my Reven.

Fuck.. I am pathetically and eternally fortified in my own geekdom.

Oh..and for want of a green adult beverage, I spent the morning mixing Mountain Dew Baja Blast and standard yellow Mountain Dew into what I dubbed "Blarney Blast". It looked like The Hulk's piss and tasted like caffeinated sugar. Wheeeeeeee!
