I am Irish...O'Reilly.
Just a few fun facts, St. Patricks day is actually a religious day in Ireland, with more than 30 parades that day.
It was brought to New York in 1856 by irish soldiersduring the war as a way of celebrating their irish heritage.
To say "St. Paddy's" is a little bit of an insult. The work "Paddy" came for the 1800 when the Irish were the most abused american immagrants. That's also where the term "Paddy Wagon" came from, because as lower class citizens they where always being hauled off to jail, for stealing, etc

I have heard it said, from Irish Soldiers I met in Bosnia...

"If it was not for whiskey, the Irish would rule the world."

What if that is your thing? Shamrocks in me shorts might be more lucky than kissing that dang rock!

Or something. ;)

OK....then may corned beef not get into your underwear. (and that is just too gross of a thought......even for me!) OR cabbage get into your underwear. (this is creepy...can't really go there) :eek:

i am sure there is some stirred into my mutt made mix. I am just a bit of all kinds of things. I love shamrocks one way or the other and green is my favorite color. That is reason enough i think to celebrate this day. Anyone watching the parades? We got Mickey Mouse this year because he was born here:D i think that is kinda cool:) and the marching cobras simply rock!
