Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! For those of you who aren't aware what that is, today is the day that some guy drove a bunch of snakes from Ireland. It's also the day for parades, leprechauns and public drunkenness!

So, who wants to get their drink on with me? I'm thinking a trip down land-side is in order!

Well, I suppose I should see about going down too. Knowing Lyle he'll be heading down there too and I might see him do something entertaining while drunk.

Plus, I needed to take a break from all this work.

AND DOUBLE TAG! notjustlockonm2 March 17 2010, 23:32:57 UTC

You won't have to look hard.

mechaotaku March 20 2010, 18:33:40 UTC

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm just now getting done with Hagane duty. That alone is a reason to drink!

Some guy!? His name is in the title of the holiday.

There are also no signs of snakes in Ireland during or before that era. The 'snakes' are a symbol for Druids or other pagans, which it makes far more sense for a saint to have dealt with.

Oh come now Alex. Can't you just live with the modern spirit of the holiday like the rest of us and go get incredibly drunk?

infinitehistory March 22 2010, 03:48:23 UTC

I can and will but you do know the holiday was made in his honor. We're supposed to remember him.

But we know you don't actually care about St. Patrick. You just care about the history being accurate. Lord knows why since you prove more than anything how inaccurate history is every other day.

Don't overdo it, okay?

mechaotaku March 20 2010, 18:34:57 UTC

I'll be fine, don't worry!

i_choose_me March 17 2010, 23:31:12 UTC

I'd be game. Won't be the same as doing it in Ireland, and Japanese beer kind of sucks, but I'm sure we'll manage to have a good time anyway.

mechaotaku March 20 2010, 18:35:48 UTC

Yeah, but occasionally you'll find a place that serves real nice drinks. I know of one, actually. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but those tend to be the best places anyway.

i_choose_me March 20 2010, 21:00:38 UTC

No shit? I've got see this place for myself.

grandtheftmecha March 18 2010, 00:21:28 UTC

Oh, so that's the excuse? Snakes?

Ah whatever. Another good excuse for beer, I'm game.

mechaotaku March 20 2010, 18:37:19 UTC

Yeah. Although apparently the snakes are supposed to be Paganism? Well, that's what Alex was saying at least. Whatever.

I knew you would be!

grandtheftmecha March 21 2010, 03:41:53 UTC

Well it does sound more like something a saint would deal with.

I figure we'll get plenty of people for something like this.

Hope Mao's having fun wherever she is.
