But yes, today is the excellent day devoted to St. Patty. He is Irish. And a saint. And likes the color green. And that's about all I know.
Actually, I don't know much about the Irish in general either....I will list all the facts I know about the Irish. Here:
- They like the color green
- They are short and have red beards, and give away gold at the ends of rainbows
- They once had a notable lack of potatoes
- They like beer
- They dislike the Brits
- They have a Boston basketball team named after them
Today is the day to honor the Irish. We all wear green. We might do other things too, but I don't know what they are. I'm not Irish, remember? I just used toady as an excuse to wear my fantastic bright neon green tank top. And some green bead necklaces that I borrowed from my friend.
Other than that, I can't recall anything that made today very Irish-y. What a ripoff.
P.S. To see an amazing, beautiful Venn Diagram depicting my feelings on this holiday click this link right here.
P.P.S. On a very random note, I wonder who Mr. Venn is, the one who invented Venn Diagrams. I'd like to meet him sometime, he seems like an interesting guy.
So, I realized that this is a little late, but I just saw your blog mentioned on Sparknotes today so... yeah.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, there was never a lack of potatoes. On the contrary, that's all there was. Everyone had to eat potatoes all the time. That's why Ireland is known for it's potatoes. Secondly, St. Patrick is a saint because he killed all the snakes in the whole entire country. Don't ask me why he did that, all I know is that there are no snakes in Ireland because of St. Patrick. Oh, and I am neither short or a red head. Not everyone on the country is soulless! (Just kidding! I know many red heads and they most definately have souls) ;)
