[GCFL-discuss] thursday

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

At the risk of sounding politically incorrect, I think it has to do with
stereotypes.
Correctly or not, the stereotypical Irishman is always drinks and is always
drunk.
Therefore, if you celebrate bring Irish, you celebrate being drunk.

I'm wondering how St. Patty's Day became an excuse for people to get 
ridiculously drunk and for banks to take a day off. How does that possible 
celebrate what Patrick did for the Irish people?

Now, I live in an area with much Irish influence. St. Patrick's Day is 
pretty big here, but the only things that happen are the wearing of green, 
possibly speaking in an Irish accent on occasion throughout the day, banks 
being closed on Monday, and copious quantities of alcohol consumption.

Interesting Carla.  I'm going to research it some more.
Oh yeah -  green milk doesn't sound too appetizing.  I'm going to stick with
the brown and white varieties.   :-)

God bless you abundantly today and always!
