St. Patrick's Day

I always planned on making green pancakes or something on that morning, but I never did. All we do is wear green & pinch others!!

All I do is make sure that I am wearing something green, if only a green accessory, and of course pinch those who forget to where their green.

Just curious, where did the pinching tradition come from?

I think that it had something to do with Leprechauns...but I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that...

I can't say for sure that green beer is better than yellow snow having NOT tasted yellow snow but I can tell you that until about 3 years ago if you had told me that the beer tap was connected directly to the urinal I would not have been surprised. Beer was definately an aquired taste for me but now I love it - except for anything extremely bitter, anything skunky (like Corona) and anything flavorless(like Budweiser) ICK!

Traditions?? I'm BLACK! What Irish traditions do you think we have in the hood?

I could mention that St. Patrick was the first "immersion evangelist" and got it dead-on right about the pre-Institutionalizational evangelistic techniques that saved large swaths of Europe including Scandinavia.

This tells the reasons behind the traditions of St. Patrick's Day.

The reason for the pinching began with Irish schoolchildren pinching other kids in order to get them interested in the true meaning behind the holiday...So it's a kind of a "bible tract"!

We've got a few good Pubs in the 'Lou(aka St.Louis), and there's some parades and a big festival downtown, which is where I went this year. Super fun, but I think I consumed too many alcoholic beverages;I'm STILL feeling the effects now. Irish I totally am not. My boyfriend is though...
