St. Patty's To-Do List

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today is a great day to explore your Irish heritage, since everybody is Irish today! Here are some suggestions from an actual Irishman (yours truly) to make today fierce deadly:

  • Be sure to wear green. It accentuates the Irish in your hair and skin tone.
  • Find the nearest pub, or other place that might be serving corned beef and cabbage. Have some.
  • It's a good idea to wash that down with a pint of black stuff. Guinness is a good one, and imminently available.
  • Car Bombs! How: 1 pint Guinness, 1/2 shot bailey's, 1/2 shot Jameson (or other Irish Whiskey, bot in the same shot glass). Get ready. Drop shot glass in beer. The yeast in beer will curdle the Irish cream, so you have to drink it fast. The college terminology is "pound it."
  • Note: The above can make one bollixed, ossified, or even three sheets to the wind.
  • A good background for any of this would be to start a Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys station on Pandora. The listening will be great all day.
Well, That's all I have for now. I hope you have a great St. Patty's filled with fun, beer, friends, and don't forget: Beer.

Good call on the Jamesons.
Your choice of commonly available Irish whiskey for car bombing should be dictated by the side you take...
Bushmill's is protestant swill - If you're really a supporter of the cause, Jamesons absolutely the way to go.

Good to see everyone yesterday even for just a bit - Food was tasty too, the bite I had!

We didn't celebrate this year. I think it because I was unable to consume any beer. What is St. Patty's with out beer?? Lame.

I thought last night was a blast as well. Thank you, Morgan, I was happy the meat turned out as well as it did.

And yes, Jaime, St. Patty's without beer is lame. We didn't green beer it this year, but we did make sure to have guinness around.
