Random Thoughts: St. Patrick's Day Edition


If one more person pinches my ass or arm today, I'm going to scream. Who came up with this "pinch the idiot who doesn't wear green on St. Patty's Day" thing? He should be flogged! I wore green yesterday. Isn't that good enough?



Why do people dye food and beverages bright green? Yes, I know. Green is the color of this holiday. But my food should not be the color of mold. Mold green bagels are just not appetizing.

And green beer? Let's make a digusting drink even more repulsive by turning it the color of radioactive swamp water.

Hubby is not happy with me this morning. It's not my fault he brought home corned beef hash instead of corned beef and cabbage last year. What kind of wife would I be if I didn't sweetly remind him of that fact this year? (and next year...and the next...and the next...)

Shouldn't we cancel work today and go hang out at a pub? If you're not there in body, you're certainly there in mind. Even I, the biggest beer snob of them all, could go for an icy non-green beer right about now... And it's only 10:15. It's going to be a LONG day.

Ugh.

Let's not forget that with the green beer at bars also comes the idiots who decided that since green beads were abundant, Mardi-Gras is barely over, let's relive it!

Yeah. Most bars around here are willing to give out strands of green beads if you're willing to show chest...

Sad.

I've got more disturbing mental images of 80-year old ladies flashing for green beer than I really care to try to dredge up..

Jor: UGH! Why'd you have to go and put those images in my head! And what's with people who show their tits for beads? I wouldn't even do that trashed at spring break in cancun.

I hope your day goes very quickly and you get to the green beer, corned beef and cabbage ASAP! My hubby makes wicked good corned beef and cabbage by the way. You're welcome to come over. :)

I agree with you 100%... long day. Need a beer. Hey, good idea! Maybe I'll leave work and go get one. Yeah right, like that would ever happen. Sorry my blog has been distracting you... but it's fun to look at, right? Ha ha ha!

lol. I've worked in lots of bars...every year we'd start out with a COUPLE of drops of food coloring, and then get progressively greener til all the silly drunks had moldy-looking teeth.

Good times...

I wonder if the Hulk was Irish?

I also hate the idea of coloring my food,I'll eat lettuce if I want something green LOL!

I asked about 10 people today what St. Patricks day is really celebrating and they all sad the same thing...Beer.

Jaime said...

Ms S: Distracting is one thing... obviously drooling over the pics is another.

Keely: I never knew you guys made the beer that color on purpose to turn everyone's mouths colors. i should've known!

Otin: If the Hulk were Irish, wouldn't he just need a beer to control his temper?

Gladys: That's always what I thought the day was about. Is there some other purpose?
