Well, the great Holiday has arrived..... Yes lads I'm talking about the day everyone wishes they were Irish. The wearing of the green, corn beef, cabbage, and of course spuds and beer.... green beer.
Marching bands, parades, Grand Marshals, excessive consummation of alcoholic beverages, making fools of ourselves. Aw.... isn't life grand...... ???

A Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all,

Hopefully the Luck of the Irish will be upon ye....

Just remember drunks and driving don't go well together.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

One of my personal favorites,

Shaun

Happy St. Pats day all...and A very Happy Birthday to my daughter Leslie 14 she be!

And a happy Evacuation Day as well.

Seems General Knox had arrived with his train of cannon from Ticonderoga and Genereal Washington emplaced them in Dorchester Heights, overlooking Boston. On 26 March 1776, the British forces realizng their untenneble position, vacated the premises.

Fast forward to 1941, when the date was merged with St. Patrick's Day as a legal hiliday for Suffolk County, essentially Boston and a couple suburbs. State employees as far away as the New York border, not ot be denied a holiday available to our Union Brothers and Sisters in Boston, mananged to get this as a floating holiday. Therefore, I'm off today.

Happy wearing of the green #:-) to one and all!

" Well in the merry month of May,
a from my home I started,
Left the girls of Toum,
so sad and broken-hearted,

Saluted my father dear,
Kissed my darlin mother,
drank a pint of beer,
to keep me heart from slumping,

And off to reap the corn,
leave where I was born,
cut a stout Blackthorn,
to keep my heart from grumbling
Brand new pair of Broughs,
Rattlin o'er the bogs,
frightning all the Dogs,
On the Rocky Road to Dublin

One, two, three, four, five,
Hunt the hare and turn him
Down the Rocky roadand all the way to Dublin!
Whack for all de rah!


Happy St. Paddy's folks!
It's 8:15 am, and I'm already on my second Guiness and my THIRD Harp!

And the party I'm throwing doesn't start till tomorrow!

One, two, three, four, five,
Hunt the hare and turn him
Down the Rocky roadand all the way to Dublin!
Whack for all de rah!

I've been helping build a float for a Dublin based Samba band and have come home complaining about the various difficulties involved but when my wife saw the scantily clad Brazilian guest dancers on TV she wanted to know what the hell I was complaining about. No use telling her they weren't parading around like that in the work space.
Ah well I expect she'll talk to me again soon.

ps it's £*^&ing freezing in Dublin today

My sister is marching...probably right now in New York as part of the St. Patricks Day Parade.

More than a couple of the guys on my dorm floor are already skipping their classes and downing a few! Boondock Saints tonight and we are good.

Happy St. Patrick's Day parade

If the movie "St. Patrick: The Irish Legend " is showing on your local TV station today watch out for me in it. I play Miliuc who bought St Patrick as a slave. Very historically innaccurate, I remember pointing out to one of the ADs that they didn't have potatoes in Ireland back then and his reply was "We don't give a sh%$" #:-)

Jeff,

Quite possibly the best film of all time. :-) :-)



Shaun

The Quite Man.

Maybe Ill break out my squadron GREEN putty today rather than the white stuff

I just can never get over the cat. For those that have seen this part are cringing now, for those that haven't seen it, they need to see it!

Jeff

Dave,

Nobody in "The Quiet Man" gets killed by a falling toilet...

Shaun
:-)

Well.... err..... I'll give you the falling toilet....... :-) :-)

Well, as a McConnell, this is my day! However, I'll have to drink green root beer. And to top this off, I have a half day today! (I have to work from 4-10, though. ) Let's see, to quote Saint Patrick: "I beseech thee to drive the snakes from this land, paint yourself green, and get drunk..." Thanks for your time, and HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

I’m a little late but happy St. Patricks day everyone (even if you won’t remember it in the morning anyway)

beers on me.

Sean O'Ratzenberger

Ahhh........St. Patrick's Day
The one day of the year that I can wear my Notre Dame hat to work and not be ridiculed by my employes or listen to them yell " Rudy...Rudy....Rudy...." as I walk by.

Hermon

Happy St. Paddy's Day guys!!

Hope everyone made it through "Irish Amateur Night."
I was at Wal MArt at 5:30 am exchanging Quake 4 because it wouldn't load and am at work now.
Of course, I am a professional...

Shaun

/Quake 4 still won't load
//My 1.86GHz processor is too slow???
///Have a $40 game I can't return or load
////Loooks like it's time to buy a new computer

WoW...... 5:30 AM..... I wish my local Wally Worlds opened that early, I could catch some shopping on the way home in the morning, instead of coming home, and then having to to go back out again.......

:-)

OUrs is open 24-7. And trust me, there is nobody there at 5:30. I was making a return and was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Oh, you can't buy pistol ammo or beer until after 7:00 am. Not that I ever tried...
