Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day, Ya Filthy Animals

A Few Thoughts on This Day:

1. I'm not Irish, at all. I've often asserted that whatever Irish I have in me, the .08 percent that I have each year, is acquired through stereotypical drinking. Or someone was raped long ago... But have a happy holiday nonetheless!

2. I missed the Chicago River being dyed green. Dang.

3. There like, a Patty's Pub anyone wants to meet up with me at?

4. Sean Connery was Scottish right?

5. Have jokes about Irish, Chicago cops gone out of style?

6. Any chicks out there wearing those stupid flippy rings in a way that allows me to hit on you?

7. Fuck "Boondock Saints." I'm willing to fight over that shit.

8. Had a Second City classmate bemoan the fact that there was no South Side Irish parade last Sunday. I mean, it's only like, what, 60 arrests? That jackass I saw on ABC looked like he was having a good time.

9. Any green pukes you wanna share in the comments? I'll tell you about that that Chick and all that Guiness, '07, if you're interested. Put it in the comments.

10. Watch this and have a good green, if not probably grey day:


Editorial Note: It's damn sunny outside!

4. Let's hope so

5. Never

7. Don't say that at the aforementioned

8. I do miss C&K's beer garden during the parade with their sneakingly strong Irish coffees and pyramid of pee, but once I saw a kid getting kicked in the head, I knew I had outgrown the parade. The shotgun was merely a badge of pride.

9. I always found the other green bodily discharge more impressive. If you can build up that much green dye in your system, you've had a hell of a holiday.

Again, Mark, thank for you being my number one fan:

I'm saying I'm Wesley Snipes.

Wait, Pyramid of Pee?

Think of what may happen in a crowded beer garden filled with drunken south siders when the main bathrooms are inaccessible, the portapotty line is absurd, there are stacks of empty beer buckets available, and a clear corner of fence near the alley.

What a happy day. Even if I've probably outgrown the parade, it's still fun to watch/pretend like I haven't outgrown it. Just don't be a jackass.

I'll second BJ's and Keegan's. Wonderful establishments where everyone feels like your friend.

By the way, my wonderful twin tried making her own personal mini-pyramid of beer on Saturday. I'm so proud of her.

Sorry, by "pyramid of beer," I meant "pyramid of pee." Obviously.
