And a Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you, too! Being a McConnell, it's a nice holiday! 
(And here's the holiday trivia question: Why is the three-leaf and the four-leaf Shamrock considered a part of this holiday?)
Thanks for your time!

Ah yes, the dear flavor of a green Kilkenny... great for getting everyone at the party singing Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral.
The 3 leaf clover, also called the Shamrock, is the national emblem of Ireland.
The 4 leaf clover stands for faith, hope, love , and luck.

Erin go Bragh!
(The three-leaf clover, I know, symbolizes the Trinity, which Patrick brought to the Isle ((as a recovering Catholic-Irishman, I think Ireland was better off with the snakes of paganism than the sad wounds religeon has brought her)) and , I think the four-leaf represents the four main divisions(?) of Ireland, Munster, Leinster, Connacht and Ulster?)
Just so ya know, Saturday is the 7th Annual St. Paddy's Day Party at Murph & Gigi's, BYOB, we got's the food covered.
May you all celebrate how you will, but, please take care of yourselves and think first of how you can help keep the people around you safe.
Peace and pass the Jameson!

Well, Heres Irishman #1 signing in ... I think it might be we prefer a lie-in on a saturday morning, more than actually running off to the pub early

Why is the three-leaf and the four-leaf Shamrock considered a part of this holiday?
4 leaf shamrock? --- doesnŽt exist, something of a well marketed lucky(?) symbol ... nothing to do with Ireland, more than it resembles the shamrock. This is our national day and St. Patrick is our national saint. he explained the holy trinity using the shamrock, 3 leaves / 1 flower (3 persons/1 god).

There are 4 provinces in Ireland, but the 4 leaf thing is not really an Irish thing .. so it representing the four provinces is new to me.
Myself wont be drinking to late tomight, as Im going to see UFO in concert .. then maybe weŽll see .. well just a few maybe

I'm with you on that Frank
The four leaf clover has nothing to do with Ireland or St Patrick's day. Enjoy the day Guys and don't drink too much green beer it makes your pee green too

Hi guys,
Happy St. Patrick's Day!Unfortunately i've had a stomach illness lately so there'll be no Bushmills or Guiness for me today
,anyways...this has nothing to do with today but it's Irish from my favourite show of all time Father Ted
Cheers,Shay

Happy St. Patty's Day 
Walk to the bars, and stumble home. Like in the olde days!
Remember it's still against the law to drink and drive, and the life you save might be a friends, or mine.
As for myself, I've always considered St. Patty's Day as amateur drinker's night and wannabees day. :-)

I think IŽll be adopting that opinion aswell Dave ... perfect cover for not being able to stick the pace anymore and the suffering next day!! :-)

LOL. Thanks god they canŽt add that green stuff to Guinness. Colouring beer green has become popular here in Sweden .. but theres a lot of what Grumpy has referred to, as well!!
Happy PaddyŽs day to all!

Howdy All
One of the great things about today is, that everyone can be an honorary Irishman for at least a day!
The trivia questions made me look a bit deeper into the holiday and I was surprised to find that, speaking of 'honorary' titles, our good St. Patrick was never actually 'officially' canonized by the Pope. And that the feeling is, that he was indeed 'canonized' by the Irish people themselves.
Anywhichways, a most "Happy St. Patrick's Day!!" to All.
As far as the bev of the day for me?......well, I guess I'll just have to go with a nice pint of chilled Harp. Yes, that's right, "chilled". Chilled because I am very American when it comes to that
, and Harp's, because my stomach won't tolerate Guiness at the moment....... 
CHEERS!!

I'm with you on that Dave. Being on a Saturday just makes it worse. The one really good thing about St Patrick's day out here is you can usually pick up corned beef really on the days following this. Yum.
Keep safe out there guys, and try not to have too big a hangover tomorrow.

$2.99 a pound..... tomorrow I stock up drops to .99 to 1.49 a pound..... :-)
I also make it differently than the traditional boiling.
I make it like a pot roast, low heat, long time, most of the fat melts off, and it's super tender.
I know, I such an unconventional "Mick", must have been the Jewish ex-wife and her cooking.... :-)

Yep, that's the way I do it also. Sometimes I'll put a glaze of honey and mustard on the last 1/2 or so. My mouth is watering already.
