swedishcelt 0 #26 March 17, 2005 I am going in to Boston on Friday and staying until Monday with a whole group of friends from college. We're going to check out the St. Patrick's Day Parade and drink heavily and long at the very "Irishest" of bars in the whole country. I am going to be hurting Monday too because currently... I don't get out much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe sit back and watch "The Commitments" after dinner, with....more Guinness (there's also a six pack of Harp for sissies who won't try Guiness). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Is it just an excuse to get wasted? If so, why not celebrate St. Andrew's, St. David's or St. George's day as well. After all the pilgrims were separatists from England and were Christians?

I understand the Irish movement from Boston to New York in the early 1900's, just didn't understand why everyone else celebrated it. I thought it might have been some religous reason I've totally missed or something. In England we have a St. Patricks Day as well, but not a St. Georges Day? Niether does Scotland celebrate St. Andrews Day, neither the Welsh St. Davids??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyangel2 2 #42 March 17, 2005 Today is my son's birthday.
