Phil, that is possibly one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

I am proud to say that when I return to Wausau, I am hoping to consume some green beer or golden beer (I don't care about the color) in honor of St. Patricks day. But, until then, I think my evening is best spent preparing for tomorrow's big event!

We don't have any cool traditions like that here, but the thursday before spring break is enough to get a lot of people to the bars!

I am green with envy. We all need cool traditions like that.





(Me thinks this is the wrong flag, but man, I think we're on the right continent at least!)

Thinking about beer, and browsing beer.com.... found this:

Not-so-time-honored St. Patrick's Day Traditions:

12) Showing off your fashionably snug "Kiss Me I'm Irish" boxers.

11) Breaking into the reptile exhibit at the zoo and driving out all the snakes.

10) Talk loudly about your recent visit to the Leprechaun Colony on Molokai.

9) Pour a box of Lucky Charms down your pants and ask women if they can find the special new shape.

8) Every time you buy a pint, smack an Englishman.

7) Get a tattoo on your belly that says "Blarney Stone."

6) Regale everyone in the pub with wild and bawdy stories about your two good friends Patrick Fitzhenry and Henry Fitzpatrick.

5) In your worst Irish accent, tell anyone who'll listen, "You know, I'm really more of an Oktoberfest man meself."

4) Dress up as old-time Irish outlaw Jesse James Joyce.

3) Ask couples, "Are you two Irish? Get it? Are U2 Irish?" Laugh uproariously when no one else does.

2) Find a highway cloverleaf and drive really slow in the fast lane all night long. It's good luck!

1) Two words: Green Puke

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Thanks Guys

Thanks to you all for the sentiment.

I am probably the only full-time Irish person on here [how green is that smile?] but kind wishes from you SVX guys on the day are much appreciated.

Being Irish is not an exclusive enclave any more I am happy to say. So those who says they are part Irish are very welcome to the club. Personally, I like to think it is more about being friendly and party going, than party animal. The wild drinking binges are really not what it's about, but wetting[not drowning!] the Shamrock is OK so long as you come up for air, and don't drink enough to get unfriendly

We are currently experiencing mass immigration here in Ireland. This is the first year the parades have been really colourful. There are loads of wonderfully dressed African people, Chinese people, Phillipinos, all showing off beautiful and colourful national dress and cultural ritual dances. Am I glad I lived to see this day! We have been white and monocultural over here for so long, we were in danger of disappearing up our own a$$es. We have also been exporting our people abroad for so long, it's nice to see the world visiting us for a change.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all my friends on the Network.

Joe

Like Kelli says, we don't want any bent SVXs or broken SVXers tonight. Drive sober.

On call, Kelli......

Does this mean there is a button somewhere I can press in an emergency, and you and your firemen friends come and rescue us from the reptile house??

Well, not quite... Southern Comfort uses peaches in the creation of their whiskey. Anyway, that description, minus the part about moderate pricing, is from the Thompson Whiskey website. Yeah, about $7/liter. Just perfect for that poor college student, and it tastes pretty good. It's no Jamesons but it sure mixes well with my other favorite beverage: diet coke.

Whiskey, you're the divil,

Thompson Whiskey. Thanks Eric.

I have never come across it, but maybe they don't export.

I have always like Southern Comfort, although it is very sugary. As a product it lend itself better to mixers than normal whiskey does IMO. Mainly I drink the stuff neat [when I'm drinking, that is] or mixed with water or sometimes soda water. So I am not really a mixer person, unless I have friends around and go mad with the coctail shaker, in which case anything goes.

Will watch out for your Thompsons, it sounds interesting and good value.

Joe
