Today (or rather, 1.5 hours ago) is St. Patty's day. I've heard much about this day. It is the celebration of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland... or at least I'm told this. Presbyterians don't have saints, but I'm also Scot Irish, which I guess still makes this holiday kinda cool (even though technically I'm Scottish- but whatever). People wear green on this day. And from what I have been told, people over the age of 21 go out and drink. A lot. There are car bombs, Guinness, and all things Irish galore apparently. I unfortunately, I have to disagree. Due to circumstances beyond my control, today was my first experience going out on St. Patty's day- since I've turned 21. I expected it to be awesome. My real impressions: It felt like going out on any other Tuesday night, except that there were more people wearing the color green. Maybe it's because it is a Tuesday, maybe it is because I'm still slightly sick, or maybe the holiday has been hyped up too much in my head. But whatever it is, I was sadly disappointed. I had a few beers, did my car bomb, almost stabbed a few super drunk sorority girls, and went home.
Can someone tell me how today was supposed to go again?

Should have come to Newnan!!!! We did it right last night!
But really, you're right. It's just another night of drinking and St. Patty's Day is used as an excuse to drink. You just have to have the right crowd with you (i.e. I showed my chest to get some green beads and you missed it).
I agree w/ rob (minus the newnan part). You just need to do st. patty day right!! Take a lesson from me, culver, and the pacific northwest
