Happy ST. Patrick’s day & EASTER !

Thats not till tomorrow and ive never drunk green beer, thats just you crazy Americans! lol:grinthumb

Yes, St. Patrick's day is on the 17th.

And sure, green is the colour.

I won't be drinking green beer, but I will most likely be drinking copius amounts of regular beer.

It's great seeing the whole world celebrate St. Patricks Day as if they were Irish.

Regular beer shall be had by the barrelfull!! Green beer definitely no, see my my earlier post as to why.

It's a small world indeed.

I've lost the Irish brouge, though.

Same to you =]

I'm a newcomer. But....Happy to you

Happy ST. Patrick’s day, in advance.

Easter Sunday, is, this year, on 4th April, 2010.

A very Happy Easter, too.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit

An céanna chun tú mo chara.

Ravi, don't you have enough of your own pagan holidays to celebrate....?

Just kidding.

The more the merrier, Captain.

But haven't you figured out yet, that I was in an boarding school run by Irish Christian Brothers ?

Then you gotta throw in a "Happy Passover" as well which falls between the two

Is there such a greeting as "Happy Passover"? I thought Passover was rather somber, and associated with mostly inedible cuisine.

So basically what you're saying is, that you were captured in the wild and force fed Catholicism by Irish religious fanatics. You sir, do indeed, have my sympathies. Unless you dropped out of reform school, in which case, "for shame"!

In the spirit of preventing future occurrences of this nature, I propose a vaccine be invented, to immunize against the possible "spread of Christianity".

As you may have noticed, some of the best efforts in support of my "socialization", have failed miserably.

But still, LookinAround may be on to something, a combination holiday. I'm trying to develop an "appropriate" mythology. Something about Jesus, St. Patrick, coming from behind rocks, seeing shadows, six more weeks of winter, going to dinner, "oh no, snake for dinner again". Nah, that'd probably get me canceled, just like it did the Smothers Brothers back in the day.

You certainly, do have a way with words.

Relax, old man, no lassos were involved, and I'm as "wild" as ever.

Okay, now for passover : which one do you want to go by, the Old Covenant or the New Covenant.

Back to the "Irish religious fanatics"; some of them were nuts :rolleyes:, but for the most part they were rather moderate, and open minded.

Happy hedonism holiday(s) to all with a hortatory cheers from thelandofdownunder

The one with the better food, If this is true of neither, I shall "pass over" the holiday altogether. :rolleyes: (A "rolleyes" for the shamelessly bad pun. Admission absolves guilt! Now where have I heard that before...)?

Given to the fact that you are spouting Gaelic, I'm going to suggest that that were possibly on the "heavy handed" side of true moderate.

I don't know about the brothers, but the "good Catholic girls", that I met in my youth, were some of the most "liberal" people I've ever met.

Oh , Happy St. Patricks Day...!

With that out of the way, might I prevail on you another question..? Do you think it's true that rattlesnake "tastes like chicken"? :wave: :haha:

Oh, lest I forget, you did manage to confuse me quite comprehensively with the thread about programming. .Ya gotta give credit where credit is due. Still, don't think you were the first, Atari BASIC confused me thirty years ago. And I'm still >>> confused...!
