three hours and a day, but bless your cynicism. i shall most certainly be toasting the alpha race with half a pint of weak lager tomorrow.

― nickie, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that didn't make any sense. for cynicism read enthusiasm.

― nickie, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I was kind of wondering had I got my dates wrong all these years. Hooray for non holidays! and a day off monday......

― Ronan, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*hic* There's some sort of party for the day happening at a friend's place on Sunday, so I'll be there instead of at a bar, where the beer will be terribly overpriced, I'm sure.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going to see Jon Carter dj. Getting in free thanks to my friend who is providing support. The beer will indeed be overpriced at that too, though I may be on the water for alot of the night, depending on a few variables.

I just hope I don't repeat my Patricks day performance of last year, when I fell on my face and had a face like the elephant man in time for my 18th birthday.

― Ronan, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bejabers isn't it after being a lovely day! top of the mornin to the lot of ye.

Why Ronan? Are you pregnant?

― Pyth, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've always been puzzled as to how corned beef became associated with the Irish here in America. Anybody know?

― lawrence kansas, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

are you pregnant?

No don't be crazy, the only child I look after is myself.

― Ronan, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Re: corned beef -- probably some crazy Boston thing.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Blame it on Boston. Has a nice ring to it.

― lawrence kansas, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

err, its not the wrong day for me. remember i live in new zealand.

I just got in, I spent St. Patrick's Day with shamrocks tattooed to my boobs, running around with my girlfriend who got into an argument with her boyfriend then we were all in this limo? It was weird, we just like walked up to it and the guy was like "Sure I'll drive you around", he even gave us beers. What the hell? Then we went to a pile of Irish bars, and we almost got into a fist fight while playing darts with this prissy girl in a big sweatshirt who called us hos. Then we went to another Irish bar without the boys, and an Irish kid asked me if I'd fancy a shag, and I punched another guy in the face and we ran out and went to someone's house for a little bit. It was even better than last year.

― Ally, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you guys all go out on the 16th or something? And obviously stay out till the 17th starts.

Er sorry it's just I'm used to TOMORROW being a bank holiday, and everyone here will be going out tonight. Although everyone went out last night aswell, I had a small party in my house and then got sick on myself and went to bed. It was still fun though.

― Ronan, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In NYC, the parade is always on Saturday, ergo that's when we go out. We don't have Monday off because it's not a "real holiday" here, but also they don't do the parade on Sundays, even if that's the real St. Patrick's Day, because it goes past several churches and it is against the rules to do parades, etc on Sundays on 5th Avenue because of that.

― Ally, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm mystified that no one has asked Ally if her hand is okay or not.

― Tracer hand, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally is even more fucking hardcore than I am. Of COURSE her hand is all right.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally rises up such matters and regards the rest of the world as mere ants.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dude, I've punched the brick wall in my living room in a drunken fit at my birthday party fighting with Ramon over Turbonegro, Otis and Solinger can vouch for that come to think of it. No flabby faced drunken Irish boy is going to hurt my hand.

― Ally, Wednesday, 20 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

six months pass...

It's my opinion that Men at Work are "classic rock" really pretty much anywhere one goes, and damn the local reception. Last week Colin Hay appeared as a semi-random metaphor-troubador on the season premiere of Scrubs: his voice was as perfect and affecting as ever, and I was reminded how strong and sophisticated his songwriting has always been.

So....what are y'all doing for St. Patrick's Day? I'm supposed to go to my cousin's for a low-key food feast. But honestly, I'd rather go to a bar.

Oh, and did you see the Onion this week? They had a lot of St. Patrick's Day articles. The Shamrock Shake one was the best, but I couldn't find it on the site.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Friday, 14 March 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

tonight I'll be staying in and avoiding all the amateur drinkers who only go to the pub twice a year

― j0e (j0e), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Going out all weekend I guess, the weather's nice as it has been the last few years for Patricks Day. So yeah, get me my shillealaigh.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

My band will be playing a house show in Washington DC at a place called the Notasquat and eating the vegetarian food theymake for bands. 'Twill be awesome!

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Being busy on the day itself, might get a drink at one of the local bars that night, but I'll avoid the Irish-themed ones. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

why do people make a big deal out of St Patricks Day? (*feels ashamed as everyone stares annoyed at me - oh how their eyes burn right into the heart of my very soul, whimper*)

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

St. Patrick's Day is on a Monday here...we're having an office pot-luck. Woo-hoo!

According to my calender, the day before St. Patty's Day, March 16th, is "Freedom of Information Day", and appropriately enough, also Flavor Flav's birthday. Now that's what I'm talking about!

I will be dying Gareth and Tim's hair green on Saturday night, whether they like it or not. I have a sexy green shirt! Too bad I look like a sickly alien if I put on green! Maybe I will punch someone this year, but I don't think I will. Nothing will live up to the previous two years :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 14 March 2003 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be celebrating on Monday by staying in and rereading the complete surviving works of St. Patrick, of course. It's only 20 pages long, so I'll have probably have time to read Murchiu's Life Of St. Patrick (another 20 pages) too.

In the United States and Canada, consumption of corned beef is often associated with Saint Patrick's Day.[13] Corned beef is not considered an Irish national dish, and the connection with Saint Patrick's Day specifically originates as part of Irish-American culture, and is often part of their celebrations in North America.[14]

― pom /via/ chi (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 18 March 2015 02:04 (ten years ago)

I believe corned beef and cabbage started out as 'New England boiled dinner', but then Boston filled up with Irish immigrants and the connection was made.

one year passes...

http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-indult-desk-is-open.html

Thirdly, to be clear, nobody's getting off scot-free regardless of local policy – in each instance where the indult's been granted, the move is accompanied by a pro forma encouragement (albeit not an order) that abstinence should either be transferred to the prior or following day, or that some other act of penance or charity be substituted for digging into the beef. In any event, those traveling on the 17th itself are bound by the decision of the diocese in which they happen to be, not that of the place where they reside.

archdiocese of los angeles has been granted dispensation but you either do another choice of penance or transfer it to the following day

still not eating corned beef tho
