closetgeek Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 ..Or at the very least, I hope you remember to wear green so that you don't get pinched!
michpc Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 speaking of which...anyone doing anything fun? I'm not really, but I am planning to do some Irish cooking...stew and boxty (Irish potato pancakes, which is a little sacrilegious for me since I'm 50% Polish, but I'll give it a try anyway!) And some Guinness of course.
UnlikelyGrad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Is luck on St. Patrick's Day limited to people with Irish blood? I could use a little luck in the lab, but I'm only French, German, English, Scottish, and Chinese (with a possibility of smidgens of other stuff--but not Irish).
ikatticus Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I get to work...yay...I love my retail job. At leasr you don't work in an Irish pub tonight
Strangefox Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I could use a little luck in the lab, but I'm only French, German, English, Scottish, and Chinese (with a possibility of smidgens of other stuff--but not Irish). Wow, what a mix!
Strangefox Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 ..Or at the very least, I hope you remember to wear green so that you don't get pinched! Oh, I didn't know that you can get pinched if you don't wear green on St. Partick's day! Is it true?
OkayforNow Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Very true, ikatticus, that would probably be too much for me. People here in Kansas City take their St. Patrick's Day festivities pretty serious : )
OkayforNow Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Yes, you are supposed to wear green to avoid getting pinched!
UnlikelyGrad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Wow, what a mix! The possible smidgens are Portuguese and Mongolian, btw. Still debating whether to wear green or not today. Why should I celebrate a holiday for people of other ethnicities? To avoid pinching (read: harrassment)? The only reason I can think of is that one of my fave profs here is Irish...
closetgeek Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Oh, I didn't know that you can get pinched if you don't wear green on St. Partick's day! Is it true? lol, well i did back in grade school . I probably have a few friends who would still pinch me now.
Strangefox Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 lol, well i did back in grade school . I probably have a few friends who would still pinch me now. Ok, I'll try to remember that next St. Patrick's day when I am (hopefully) in the US! I have some green clothes!
MoJingly Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I used to make my living playing Irish fiddle. But tonight, somebody is cooking me Italian for dinner and I am not playing out anywhere. Oh, how things change.
