Faith and Begora! It's the one day of the year when everyone can claim to be Irish! i'm already part Irish (Scot-Irish to be exact....), but I'm not gonna eat the traditional fare of corned beef and cabbage (*barf*)Since it's Monday, the prospect of drinking to celebrate is kinda limited, but how are you gonna celebrate?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!The traditional spelling of that word is 'begorra' although most people spell it as 'begorrah' which is a Gaelic way of saying God. For some reason, some people think it is a reference to Sodom and Gomorrah (i.e. Sodom and Begorrah) but I'm not sure where that came from. Unveiling my St. Pat's Day siggie - not only am I fully Irish but my IRL name is also Patrick, so I expect lots of genuflecting and gifts today.

Just for you VincePatrick.Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye." Shawn walked to his friend's bedside and kneels. "Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last request fir ye to do." O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done." "Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to enjoy it for all eternity." O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?"

Here's one...An American walks into a pub in Galway, Ireland and raises his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He shouts, 'I hear you Irish are a bunch of drinkin' fools. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back to back.' The room is quiet and no one takes of the American's offer. Paddy Murphy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he shows back up and taps the American on the shoulder. Is your bet still good?' asks Paddy. The American answers, 'Yes, 'and he orders the barman to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately, Paddy downs all 10 pints of beer, drinking them all back to back. The other pub patrons cheer and the American sits down in amazement. The American gives the Irishman the $500 and asks, 'If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?' Paddy Murphy replies, 'Oh... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.'

LAST EDITED ON 03-17-08 AT 06:26 AM (EST)My family tree includes the Morgans who came here to MD from Ireland. I ate cabbage yesterday, and will probably make soup out of the broth today. No corned beef, just regular. I'll be looking for our local high school band at NY's St. Patrick's day Parade. I don't know if the local news will carry video of it. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.

LAST EDITED ON 03-17-08 AT 09:23 AM (EST)Just the Facts - about beer: About 4000 years ago, it was the accepted practice in Babylonia that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calender was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month" or what we know to day as the "Honey moon" Before invention of the thermometer, brewers used to check the temperature by dipping their thumb, to find whether appropriate for adding Yeast. Too hot, the yeast would die. This is where we get the phrase " The Rule of the Thumb" In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender used to yell at themto mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. From where we get "mind your own P's and Q's". After consuming a vibrant brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings would go fearlessly to the battlefield, without their armour, or even their shirts. The "Berserk" means "bear shirt" in norse, and eventually to the meaning of wild battles. Way down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the British fleet decided to water down the navy's rum, which naturally, the sailors weren't pleased with. They nicknamed the Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff grogram coats he used to wear. The term grog soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you are drunk on this this grog, you are "groggy", a word still in use. Long ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim of their beer mugs or ceremic/glass cups. The whistle was used to order services. Thus we get the phrase, "wet your whistle". 
and here's your green beer

I have Aussie blood, which possibly means my ancestors were Irish prisoners of mother England. So I wore green today.
Now kiss me.

Irish!?! Pah. I will dispatch those pretenders with my trusty blade and pike. Give me some real men, like the Picts and Jutes and Gaels! I'm half Irish, but because the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade committee stopped doing their parades rather than allow gays to participate, I now wear orange on this fine day.

St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday. Everyone is in a good mood and there are no gifts to buy or family gatherings to coordinate.  We celebrated yesterday by taking in a parade, drinking lots of beer at Irish themed pubs and dancing many jigs. I was in full garb yesterday, looking rather silly. Today? Depending on the weather we'll head out for a few pints after work. I'm wearing a green lightweight v-neck sweater and green plaid socks with shamrocks on them.

Ya know something funny? As Irish as I am, I pretty much hate all traditional Irish food.Dinner tonight? We had Indonesian chicken satay with basmati rice. Yup, can't beat that as a typical Irish meal.

I'm not Irish, but I dug out a green tank to wear under a blazer with some green in it today. I went to the store to buy some green candy for the office, but could only find Easter Candy, so I bought that instead.No green beer for us (I don't drink beer anyway, and now neither does DH), and I cannot tolerate corned beef & cabbage, so I think we'll have steaks.
