Irish Today, Hungover Tomorrow
Who really knows the true meaning behind St Patrick’s Day? As far as I’m concerned it seems like just another reason to hit the bars and then call in sick from work the next day to recover. C'mon even people that have no traceable Irish ancestry suddenly claim the validity of their ancestry through their eighteenth cousin, throw on a green shirt, and the next thing you know they are clinking mugs of green beer while purveying their best Irish accent. The sheer comedy of the green drunkenness is enough the excuse the loss of real tradition in the holiday, so I will join the crowd and comments on the comedy-o-gratis…I have never seen so much pull-it-out-of-the-back-of-your-closet green clothing at one time ever! And old white tube sock with green stripes make an appearance on Orange Avenue heading toward Church, Green lip stick smeared on the lips of a lovely blonde drunk, the free Miller Lite shirt snipped, clipped, tied, and tied serves as a loin cloth skirt on one of the swinging banshees at Makos, Green rimmed sunglasses at night, and the swim trunks that grandma bought before the freshman fifteen set in, all have a chance to shine on St. Patty’s Day.O-pot-o-green-brew where are you? Scruffy Murphy’s, Harps and Celt, Fiddler’s Green or Mc Craneys? Where ever you are, yee I shall find, to fill my taste for beer and a good drunken Irish time! Happy St. Patrick Day, and enjoy the hang over!
