I didn't realize Dan Quayle posted here.
I recall that I once had a test in calculus on St. Pat's day, and my professor gave us an extra credit question; What is the translation of "Erin go bragh?"*
One enterprising fellow wrote: "It's Irish for "I hate potatoes."
He got the extra point.
*Translation: Ireland until Eternity" or "Ireland Forever."
Ahh..the only day where someone can call me a Mic and I don't get angry. 
Happy St. Patrick's day! I plan on raisin' the wrist to some kind of Irish brew tonight when I get home from work...just don't know what beer to get yet. Maybe Bass, maybe Harp. Possibly Guiness.
Happy St. Patrick's day to all.
Right now I'm just planning on getting through the day.

A true Irishman is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.

Funny thing happened on my way to work. Was listening to my local sports radio show, KNBR, in SanFransisco. The morning guys, Murph and Mac are all Irish, at least they say so. They also say that true Irish don't wear green on St.Paty's Day. That honor is left for the "rest of the story".
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!
Cheers!

I am always surprised at how many people, of all different religions, are so elated to celebrate Ireland's conversion to Catholicism.
I'm just elated to celebrate my conversion!
Saint Patrick is my patron Saint.

Why in thunder aren't you taking it as a compliment?
Aye, there is that.

It celebrates the day of the Death and Sainthood of St. Patrick. Not the most effective missionary to Ireland, but the only saint and obviously the most celebrated.
Despite being both Irish and Catholic I hate this hoilday profoundly.
But he's the fellow who converted the Irish to Catholicism, right?
I was actually being a smart ***. People all over the world celebrate this holiday by wearing green and getting rip roaring drunk, but very few people have any idea who St. Patrick is.
Nice editorial by Thomas Cahill in today's New York Times:

I grew up believing I was descended from Welshmen, and just recently discovered that I'm mostly of Irish descent.
I'm still in shock, as I used to give the bride (the former Miss Kennedy) no end of grief about her ancestry.
