Kiss this Blarney Stone.

St. Patrick or better known by his real name "Maewyn Succat", was born of an Italian father and Scottish mother. He was sold into slavery at a young age and escaped to France after about 6 years of bondage. He placed himself in a monastery and was taken under the wing of Bishop St Germain, where he assumed his baptismal name "Patricius". St. Patrick began having visions that (Eire) Ireland was calling him back to teach them about "God". Subsequently, he was used as a political tool by the Vatican to convert Ireland to Christianity. He used the Shamrock as a symbolic means of teaching the heathen culture of the holy trinity. The infamous legend goes that St. Patrick had driven all of the "snakes" out of Ireland. This was just a metaphor for destroying and converting the existent pagan culture (snakes = pagans). It is said he once lead a sit-in at Tara Hill, in an attempt to break the power of the old gods. Speaking of Tara Hill; Ireland's new god (money) wants to put a roadway directly through this sacred site. How wonderful.


Not exactly a day of celebration, in my opinion.

I get the day off tomorrow....so I don't care who he was...lol

fuck it dood, let's go bowling.

^ That about sums it up!

She must have been doing roofie lines off of some dudes cock.

St. Patrick was a dirty traitor. Way to celebrate your servitude. Fuck that guy (and fuck the Dropkick Murphys douches, too).

I was gonna say, most people just use the day as another excuse to drink.

EAT POTATOES, DRINK, AND LISTEN TO BOSTON'S FAVORITE THE DROPKICK MURPHY'S.

I'd hit it

"All this violence, looting, destruction of property. Is this really what we think of, when we think of the Irish?"

"Whacking Day is a sham. It was originally conceived in 1922 as an excuse to beat up on the Irish."

"Tis true. I took many a lump, but 'twas all in good fun."

Great thread.

Every day, the Spiritual Black Death (Judeo-Christianity) attempts to destroy what has been healthy and well for countless centuries. Our blood is too pure for them, and with it our nobility, so they try to destroy us through race-mixing.

IRISH PRIDE LOL

Drunk at lunch with non Irish ftl

you know, I wouldn't have even known it was today except for hearing NPR. nobody is wearing green at work or gives one shit. it's pretty nice.

they should just rename this day to Guiness Appreciation day.

I forgot about it honestly. I don't like st Patrick and what he represents; however I've got Irish in me and wouldn't want to skip an invitation to drink.

I'll probably be drinking with some friends tonight. My friend Kristen wants me to meet one her girlfriends. Ugh, matchmaking.

I love how both the appreesh and unappreesh threads are solidly against St. Paddy's Day.

It's the whole Saint thing. You know. My mom called me one too.
