vanDoug Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Some bars here will open at 8AM for the day. Probably similar in your town. 8AM???? I like my beer as well as the next guy, but I don't see myself hugging a bar at 8AM. Trouble is, many people will do that, making it difficult for yours truly to get a good spot to watch all the NCAA hoops action that starts at 10. What to do.

A local bar here in north Jersey serving breakfast at 6am and beer starts pouring at 7am. First off... who will eat breakfast at a bar?! Second... if you start drinking at 7am you need to take a break at least by noon, then sleep and head back out by 5pm if you aren't comatose. It's great that the day falls on a Saturday this year, but the bars are missing out on a lot of the 'after-work' drinking crowds. I can't stand fighting throngs of people to get a beer. Jeez.

JetCane Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Celebrating A Man of God Saint Patrick was named Maewyn Succat at his birth, somewhere near the end of the fourth century. He took on the name Patrick or Patricus, after he became a priest, much later in his life. At the age of sixteen Maewyn Succat was kidnapped from his native land of Britain by a band pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. Maewyn worked as a shepherd and turned to religion for solace. After six long years of slavery he escaped to the northern coast of Gaul. In Gaul, Maewyn became Patrick (a more christian name) and studied in the monastery under St. Germain, bishop of Auxerre for twelve years. He came to believe that it was his calling to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity. Patrick was about sixty years old when he arrived in Ireland and it is said that he had a winning personality that helped him win converts. He used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, to help explain the concept of the Trinity (father, son, holy spirit). Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries and setting up schools and churches to aid in converting the Irish country to Christianity. Legend has it that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. The snake is a pagan symbol and perhaps this is a figurative tale explaining that he drove paganism out of Ireland. Patrick's mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. He then retired to County Down and died on March 17 in 461 AD. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day ever since. The first year St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in this country was 1737 in Boston, Massachusetts. As the saying goes, on this day "everybody is Irish!" Over 100 U.S. cities now hold Saint Patrick's Day parades. ________________________________ Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. Guess he's not a Mangini guy Have a safe and happy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeting up without about 8 friends. Irish Car Bomb intrigued me.... had to look it up online! 1/2 pint Guinness 1 oz Jamison 1/2 oz Bailey's Irish cream Pour Guiness into a pint glass. Float Baileys on top of Jamison in shot glass. Drop shot glass, carefully, into Guiness. Drink quickly before it curdles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm not going out tomorrow as it's amateur night up here. Instead I will be heading over to my friends place in South Boston Sunday morning to have beer and breakfast while watching the traditional parade from his roof deck.

Garb Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 St. Pats Day on a Saturday in Boston - where there's an Irish pub on every corner. That is downright scary.

I think I'm going out with freinds and goof on the really drunk people.....if the freakin' snow stops, that is. I heard from my grapevine there is lots of snow in the Boston area? Too many people that can not handle drinking is dangerous for all involved on days like St Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like lots of snow is going to stop the hardy Boston Drunks from enjoying the St. Pats drinking binge tomorrow? You're right though - DANGER AHEAD. Tell your nephew to take the T wherever he goes....better yet, stay on campus. BC will have PLENTY of parties going on tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 ....so I shoveled the walkway morning and dispensed some of that ice melt stuff. Came indoors.....throw on the sweats and slippers and make myself a cup of coffee. Realized I left the salt bag in the driveway....run out real quick to get it. Go back in. HA-HA! I locked myself out! (I took the spare into the house a few months back and forgot about it). Had to crawl under the opening of my automatic garage door....open the door from the inside....find a ladder....find an unlocked window...stepping in piled up snow up to my knees. 25 minutes later, home sweet home. I'm thinking this is a bad sign. I should forgo the festivities today??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just talked to T-Mac and Raffy - the NY celebration seems to be progressing famously. Headed to the Chi-town parade in Jet green and will hopefully bump into a couple of Jet fans to create a wireless trans-city J-E-T-S chant.
