not remotely an Irish, I will "celebrate" St. Patrick's Day in a local Irish pub in HongKong.
I will try to wear something green for the sake of "blending in." (maybe I should also consider bleaching my skin and taulk wit an akkent.)


:beer :Guiness


[UPDATE EDIT] I am back! boy it was a weird experience. Note to self, don't attend cultural events unless you have a friend of that culture to bring along. I went to a pub celebrating St Paddy Day packed with white ppl (not sure if all Irish), we went in and felt a bit awkward; no doubt they were having fun and being respectful to us and all but we just didn't fit in quite right. So we left and we went to a chinese bar which have a Guiness promotion and got a hat. Drank three glass, went home, watch Godfather. slept.

so to sum it up, "I WENT TO ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND ALL I GOT WAS A LOUSY HAT"

Might be different in HK, but around here going to an Irish pub is hanging out with a bunch of drunk non-Irish people wearing green, drinking Killians b/c they think it's Irish and it's on special and totally crowding the bar beyond belief.
Oh and lots of DUI checkpoints.

I'll be home with my fiancee, a crock pot full of corned beef and cabbage, and maybe some Guinness.

You have to know where to go. Generally speaking, if the bar has Guinness on draft year-round, they wont serve green beer.

That and the good Irish bars do a fair job of keeping the asshats out of the bar. Though one time I was in the Cleveland West Side I.A. Club when a couple guys went up to the bar and loudly asked how much the green beer was, and why none of us "pretend Irish" were drinking it, and were instead drinking "that black sh!t". It got rather uncomfortable for those four guys pretty fast. And by uncomfortable I mean they were ejected from the premises with a slight delay to toss them into the pond.

Sounds almost like my freshman dorm.

Tuesday: Drink because there are no classes on Wed.
Wednesday: Drink b/c you had no classes all day so there was nothing better to do.
Thursday: Drink because it's almost Friday.
Friday-Sat-Sun: Drink because it's the weekend.
Monday: Even God rested one day out of the week.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." by Jack Handy
