Indeed! To celebrate, I plan to watch The Black Donnellys and dream of Ryan O'Reily all night long! Face it, they're no more Irish than I am, so why *shouldn't* I?
Have a lovely day, y'all. Drink mucho Guinness if you're a drinker. :3
They just showed my mom's town in Ireland on the today show! I was looking for her house, but it wasn't on. She saw some guy she knows though.
Judy says it best from me to all me Irish friends.

"It's A Great Day for the Irish"
Music and Lyric by Roger Edens
Oh, I woke me up this morning, and I heard a joyful song
From the throats of happy Irishmen, a hundred-thousand strong.
Shure, it was the Hibernian Brigade,
Lining up for to start the big parade.
So I fetched me Sunday bonnet and the flag I love so well.
And I bought meself a shamrock, just to wear in me lapel.
Don't you know that today's March Seventeen?
It's the day for the wearing of the green!
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair!
The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney;
For shure, you'd think New York was Old Killarney.
It's a great day for the shamrock, for the flags in full array.
We're feeling so inspirish,
Shure because for all the Irish,
It's a great, great day.
Begosh and begorra, ev'ry Irish son and daughter,
Ev'ry good old Irish name and his relation,
They come from Tipperary, Donegal, and County Kerry,
But they all are here to join this celebration.
Now, there's Terrence O'Toole and his cousin, Phil Doherty,
Patrick O'Bogle and Mullin McGrew,
Mike Maley, Tim Dayley, and Barney O'Flagherty,
Daniel Doolan and Shamus Carewe.
Conleys and Donleys and Padraic O'Bannigan,
Ryans, O'Briens, McLaughlins, and Lynch,
McGloans and McFaddens and Mister Pat Flannagan,
Hogans and Glogans, McPhersons and Finch.
It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair.
Begosh, there's not a cop to stop a'raiding,
Begorra, all the cops are out parading!
It's a great day for the shamrock, for the flags in full array.
And as we go a-swinging, ev'ry Irish heart is singing:
It's a great, great day!

Unfortunately, this is also the day when we hear "Danny Boy" played over and over again on the airwaves. Has there ever been a more depressing song written?
That's why they play it at all the cop funerals on the soaps.

St. Patrick's Day makes me think of Chris O'Donnell.

Mrs R just made an ass kickin Corned beef & cabbage. We topped it off with Killeans Red
Happy ******* St Pats to one & all.
I spent a St. Patricks's Day, probably around 1983, in NYC on vacation ... at the very top of the World Trade Center. No joke.
And since 9/11, on this very day, all I can think about is those handful of minutes, gazing out and DOWN over all of New York City ... from a building that doesn't exist anymore.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
