What Ya Doing For St Patties Day?

[Baja_Brewer]

Amateur hour or not, I'd love to hit up the bars tomorrow for some cold beers and car-bombs. Unfortunately, my professors have seen fit to schedule my second to last med school exam for Thursday, so I'll be studying.

Someone for the love of all things good, have a cold beer for me.

Good luck!

I have an exam Thursday too, but its gonna be super simple.... so I feel for you, but I'll be tossing a few back. Probably not a bars, or at least not too late...

Put the corned beef in a dutch oven before I left for work. Will cook some small red potatoes and cabbage when I get home. And of course, lots of beer.

Oh yea, and some Thin Lizzy will be playing.

I'm gonna take the boy in to get his driver's license then I'm headin' straight home to my kegs where it's safe.

+ eleventy billion on the staying at home thing. People in RI are bad enough drivers on normal nights, forget about amateur nights. I think I still have a few oatmeal stouts stashed in the basement for just such an emergency.

Taking a cab to a nice Pub with my wife in St. Paul (Thank gawd she is a good beer lover!!!) and then hitting a Norah Jones concert.

That's why I love Deism. No rules.

 

[ErieShores]

Corned beef and cabbage on the menu this evening along with some suds. Nothing major at all.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Playing some disc golf after work. Then probably drink a beer. Nothing special.

Well, last weekend was the Balloonmeister (Rally Chairman) at the 26th Annual St. Patrick's Day Balloon Rallye in Belen, New Mexico, USA where 40 hot air balloons drifted over the Rio Grande valley south of Albuquerque. After flying, we enjoyed my Toejam Robust Porter at the tailgate party. It was a huge hit.

It was held at a public park where alcohol is "officially" prohibited but the local police have told us that as long as we keep it low keyed, no one will say anything. Cool!

Then the County Sheriff came up to us and visited for awhile. He is running for re-election and was out "politikin". He saw the unlabled beer and asked about it. I told him about homebrewing and offered him a taste. He said that since he was armed, he could not drink alcohol.

He wandered away and a few minutes later came back to the party and asked if the offer to taste was still good. Then he said he had locked his gun up in his car and was ready taste our beer. He loved it and we may have another convert to the obsession.

Dude if your catholic you should for today break the promise, it's okay I'm sure the priest you confess too will say "I don't blame you my son"

 

[brewagentjay]

Am I the only person here who noticed this? Shame on you fellow Irishmen...

It is St. Paddy's day if not St. Patrick's day. Patty is a girls name....FAWK

I'm not sure how many bars you been too old friend but from coast to coast Sothern Cali to Jacksonville Fl we use the term St Patty's Day.....

No harm ment by it just what it's just how it is..........

 

[brewagentjay]

The girl who has the toughest job in the world (cutting my hair so I look good) has her birthday tomorrow, and her name is Patty. So it is st. patty's day.

Besides, you wusses only have a day? In buffalo it's at least a weeklong celebration!

Well I go to Buffalo every year and I live there I'd drink every day and every night, not much else going on....

HA, yea I know and you are wrong...hence why I pointed it out.

 

[smmcdermott]

Last year the Pope allowed us Catholics to do whatever we gave up for lent. I haven't heard anything about it this year though.

Well the answer is for all those lent folks:

"one-day break during Lent the forty day period of fasting" = why it's the feast day enjoy

 

[brewagentjay]

HA, yea I know and you are wrong...hence why I pointed it out.

How am I wrong?

Quoted:
Saint Patrick's Day
Also Called:
St Patrick's Day
St Paddy's Day
Patrick's Day
Paddy's Day

So I could have used either of the above. I choose to use the name most commonly used by bars since this is a beer site.......

I'm all for a good debate but you don't have much of one here....

The holiday was actually a catholic holiday that was adapted into an Irish Holiday thus why it's green instead of blue..... We can get technical if we need to but why not just post what your gonna do on St Patty's Day or Start a thread on which why the world must use St. Patrick's Day instead of St. Patty's Day.

Also side not it's not St. Patrick's Day it's actually Saint Patrick's Day.

Definition of the day says it's the day of break from the 40 day's of fasting so it should be okay to use the day what has been used for since 1600s or so.

So drink a beer enjoy

You just proved my point. There is no "Patty" there and Patty is a girls name, in ALL languages...you don't have much of an argument here. And St. Patrick, I believe did something in Ireland, no? I am done arguing...

 

[IrregularPulse]

What am I doing to St. Patties day?
I'm reading a bunch of non sense argument posts from a couple of ****s about the proper way of pronouncing a half ass holiday that's means nothing more in America than an excuse to get hammered.

Why does this argument take place every year. Who Cares!!?

Yes Saint Patrick did do something Ireland...He is one of the patron saints of ireland....

Thus why the holiday moved to an Irish Holiday early on....

Dude I Call It St Patty's Day & Everyone I Know Do The Same... My point was it has many names....

I leave you with this on the topic: What's Wrong With Girls?

Already hosted the 2nd annual St. Patty's (sic) party this last weekend. Cooked up 8 lbs of corned beef, 10 lbs of potatoes, boiled cabbage, and green homemade ice cream. That was all to complement the Irish Ale and Dry Stout that I brewed up for the party.
