Happy St. Patty's Day
I always look forward to Get-Drunk-Off-You-Non-Irish-Ass-On-Green-Beer-While-Pretending-To-Be-Irish Day, with a bit of apprehension. I usually forget until I am on the way to work that I did not put on any green, and therefore have the never-annoying "hey are you not wearing any green today? You know what that means?" followed by the inevitable St. Patrick's Day pinch.
- Who the hell came up with that anyways? - three Irish bishops are sitting around a table trying to work out celebratory things to do on St. Patricks day. This being an Irish Saint and therefore an Irish holiday drinking had already been thought of and agreed upon.
"what annoying thing could we come up with for people to do to other people?" asked John
"Hey I know let's have them pinch anyone who is not wearing green!" Shamus slurred from his position of head on the table and fist wrapped tightly around the mug of Green ale.
"Gawd Dammit Shamus, stop drinking that damn green beer you're talking crazy." Yelled Daniel.
*Shamus noticing Daniel is not wearing any green pinches him* *Daniel punches Shamus out cold, but the tradition begins*
anyways Happy St. Patrick Days to all and to all a good night. (That's right right?)
Good drinking good drinking.

As if the Irish needed a special day to start drinking!
True story from Teaspoon's past: When we were, like, 9, we had a violin lesson on St. Patrick's Day. (Oops! Just outed you as a violin-playing dork. My bad!) Clever TSP and his equally clever brother, Darthmoridin, wore green socks so that Myster and her brother would not see any green on them and deliver pinches. Once pinched, TSP and DMo lifted their cuffs to reveal their green socks. They then administered double-pinches on a mis-pinch, which I think is actually a rule they invented. Bastards.
Myster,
No need to apologize, I think that I have made it adbundently clear just how big a dork I am in past posts. Outing me as a violin-playing one isn't too bad ;-)
And I still maintain that you just failed to look, I do not think that I wore pants long enough to hide my socks back then.
