Anyone got some moves?

Chop suey don't do me no good. I got to have Cornbeef and Cabbage if I am going to manage.

I already cooked the Cornbeef this week.

F*ck the dumb sh*t.

Saint Paddys day fools.

You want to know what's real Irish?

Then watch Micky Ward throw a body shot.

Most beautiful thing in the world since Cleopatra.

So what do I do during St. Paddy's?

I stay in.

That is the day for everyone that is unfortunate enough not to be born Irish to be Irish for a day.

I think this is the one day of the year where being smooth is a bad thing.

A nice steak, a few pints of guinness and then bushmills till I can hardly stand.

Enjoy yourself everyone!

[at350zguyy]

Here is my Corned Beef And Cabbage Recipe:

Get the Corned Beef from Whole Foods. Nitrate free.

Toss that in the crock pot for 9 hours with carrots potatoes and 1 leek.

Cover with water 1 inch.

Cook on high.

Last hour, throw in cabbage.

Serve with some horseradish and mustard.

You are now in a State of Grace, Oh my Brothers.

Easy and might be the best thing you ever cook.

[EisenBarde]

I avoid the crowds on New Years, Cinco de Drinko, and St. Shitfaced. All the amateur drinkers pop out of the woodwork and cause a mess for other people to handle.

On these days it's always better to just host a social get together where you have all the benefits of flowing booze without the riffraff.

Cinco de Mayo might be the worst of all.

It's a phony holiday created by the beer companies.

All American holidays are a joke. They are just a means to fleece the masses.

I don't participate.

I like St. Paddy's. You can find girls who aren't used to nightlife and heavy drinking. Getting a chance to run "night game" on the type of girls you'd normally have to day game. In my hometown the main church is St. Patrick's, so the whole town, Catholic or not, gets blitzed. The local university unofficially cancels classes a few days before, because hangovers, projectile vomiting, and nuclear physics don't mix well.

Agree from a fellow Irishman. Paddys Day is a cringe fest outside of Ireland as every Tom, Dick and Harry will regale us with tales about how his father's uncle, twice removed, dog was Irish and begorrah out with the leprechaun hats, the shamrock, plastic hammers and the Tom Cruise-esque dodgy Irish accent from Far and Away (I'm Joooseph Donnelly, ya murdered me fadder boyo). But hey, it works every time. The Yanks just lap it up.

I have to say doing game on some vomit stained, beer swilling chick never appealed to me and I betcha the vast majority of these girls arent even Irish.

Begorrah!

Friends from Cork have a great Irish bar here that has a Shebeen. If St Paddy falls on a weekday I head to the Shebeen (private) early in the afternoon and sip Guinness and Redbreast with all the regulars. This means there are nearly no women, and just a bunch of cool old cats and general degenerates. Meanwhile the pub out front gets packed, rowdy and is a mess by 6pm.

On weekends, I head to an Irish friends of mine and eat and drink all day until I am almost sleeping.

This year is on a weekend. Unfortunately.

Shebeens are the best place to be on Paddys Day for a session and the craic. As you rightly pointed out, its best to avoid the local plastic bars.

There was a shebeen near my home town years ago owned by two bachelor brothers, one a school teacher, the other ex British Army. The shebeen had started out life as a family pub but when both parents popped their cloggs, the brothers went off the rails a bit. Anyway the pub burnt down and of course it was never repaired. They simply boarded up the windows and continued on as normal. It was a great spot for a sing song and of course hardly any women went into the place but as a young lad barely 18, it was great to talk to old men in the 70s and 80s who had spent time at sea, traveling around the world and all the dodgy blokes and women they met. Right characters they were. The shebeen was famous. The place was manky dirty. You drank what you liked (bottles of Guinness and Bushmills for the men, red lemonade for the kids) and food (cabbage, potatoes, crubeens, ribs and pig's toes) was provided for a €10 in the pot. You drank until all hours.

The brothers were highly educated guys and were polyglots. Of course in the summer the tourists would roll by and the Yanks would always stop at Mikey's shebeen. Mikey would ply them with drink and songs and they loved it. Both are dead now but I do have some great memories of the place. The plastic themed Irish bars abroad I detest with a passion. If you want to experience Ireland, going down to your local Irish themed pub every Paddy's Day to get pissed on over expensive, imported Guinness which tastes like donkey's piss while wearing a leprechaun hat and waving a plastic hammer just wont cut it.

Agreed. Fortunately, not everyone in the USA who decides to celebrate St. Pat's gets completely shitfaced though, which does give us good opportunities.

[salmonfella]

i will be in a shed inn the middle of Ireland lambing now that's what i call a paddy's day what other way would you spend it might have some cabbage and a pint of Guinness for the dinner and anyone want to know what its like to be really Irish come to the middle of Ireland during the summer months and spend a day on the bog working ya think your a hard worker? then come and try this ye guys have your spring breaks and holidays us Irish don't have that we spend our days footing and turning turf

[jordypip23]

Yeah I know you & at350zguyy are Chi-Town based. I'm in Michigan for a little hiatus and I won't be making it back to the Chi this weekend, but it doesn't look like this year's weather will be a repeat of last year's summer-like occurrence. But make no mistake, Chicago is always packed for St. Patties Day.

Starting at midday tomorrow - will be going predator on the Irish stumblers by 2pm

[chyamor]

[MrXY]

I view it as an opportunity to go after sloppy drunk girls, maybe get a BJ behind the bar or in a porta potty

I'm thinking about going to a pub crawl at the beach-it was hopping last year-getting a hotel room, and trying for a pull. A girl i just banged asked what i was doing for St Pats last week and I invited her to come along now im thinking I should blow her off and go alone

[salmonfella]

So its officially st. paddy's day here in Ireland.Just want to wish all the true Irish around the world Beir bua and for us it really is a great day to be Irish and by Irish i mean true Irish not my great great gran came from Ireland lol
