Who doesn't like St. Patrick's Day? I mean it is a lot of fun. Okay, the historical St. Patrick from what I understand was actually a Gallo-Roman which means he was more Italian than Irish but that doesn't interfere with the fun. I mean how Irish is corned beef which was actually picked up from Jewish delis since there is a dearth of traditional Irish food. Come to think of it, what exactly is traditional Irish food? I once asked an authentic Irishman (from Ireland) about this and he told me that over there food is nothing more than a dietary supplement between rounds of beer. It seems that good food is NOT a priority anywhere in the British Isles. And don't get me started on Shepherd's pie...yuch! Okay, so Irish food sucks but what kind of mentality is it that condemns St. Patrick's Day? Okay, I'll tell you what kind of mentality, a DUmmie mentality as you can see in this THREAD, "Everyone gearing up for St. Douchebag's Day?" So let us now watch the DUmmies get downbeat on St. Patrick's Day in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who won't be posting in Emerald Isle green because it is hard on the eyes, is in the [brackets]:
Everyone gearing up for St. Douchebag's Day?
[Posted the DUmmie Douchebag.]
St. "Look At Me!.. I'm 18 and Drunk off my Ass!" Day. I hate it.
[Posted the bitter DUmmie from deep within the confines of his dark, dank, joyless basement.]
A big part of St. Patrick’s Day is having white people feel particularly upset at the oppression of their ancestors that has in no way trickled down to them. If you find yourself talking with a white person who tells you about how their great grandfather was oppressed by both the English and the Americans, it is strongly recommended that you lend a sympathetic ear and shake your head in disbelief. It is never considered acceptable to say: “but you’re white now, so what’s the problem?”
[You're a DUmmie now and that IS your problem.]
I'm no saint. Just a run-of-the-mill douchebag.
[A leprechaun Kewpie Doll to you for that moment of accurate self-realization.]
I love the fact that I can stock up on corned beef wicked cheap.
[Hmmmm... Gotta check up on my coupons. I just got a years supply of BO sticks FREE via coupons so why not also stock up on that "Irish fare" of corned beef?
nothing like institutionalized drunken douchbaggery.
[aka DUmmieland.]
I just think it sucks that I can't go out on my birthday without slipping in teenage vomit.
[So stop by Bukowski's and slip in middle-age vomit.]
But I am just sickened by the idiots (Irish and otherwise) who use it as an excuse to spend the entire day drunk.
[Then you must like Pied Piper Pitt who uses NO excuse to spend EVERY day drunk.]
I Enjoy Drinking To Excess On St Patrick's Day
[As well as on the other 364 days.]
IBTP?!?!
PING!
Woo hoo! I did it, I did it!! :-)

Okay - I’m not sure if I’d want a BO stick. Is that anything like a “bully stick” you get for your dogs, just made from BO’s....never mind.
Pitt has his own holiday?
I LIKE Shepherds Pie. And the DUmmies hate everything.
Ok, I’m with them on the slipping teenage vomit thing...
;)
You don’t know what a BO stick is? Hint: You can find them on supermarket shelves.
Of course, else they wouldn’t be DUmmies.
I honestly have never seen more unhappy, angry, hateful people.
IIRC, the historical Patrick was a Romanised Briton (British Celtic).
I've heard he was also a Quartodecimanian, for whatever that's worth.
Not sure why but the entire British isles are infamous for having really horrible food. They tend to boil the flavor out. Why this is, I don’t know.
I cannot understand their mindset at all.
I read somewhere that he was a Gallo-Roman but your post makes more sense.
BO stick = deodorant??
Bingo! Actually we used “BO stick” as a term so commonly in our family that is how I originally knew them by
Culturally, Gallo-Roman would be close, as the Gauls and the Britons were both Brythonic Celts, and both groups, by the late 4th century, had been in the Empire for centuries. Romano-Britons had a lot of traffic with the Irish, who were never subjugated by Rome.
