vicarzI aint wearing a muddafuggin piece of green: as noted by many including an LJ post by gothiccripple St. Patty's day celebrates a xtian religious zealot who tortured and killed any non-xtians in Ireland. The "driving the snakes out of Ireland" bullshit was a euphemism for wiping out pagans. Yay. On the other hand I don't hold it against anyone for celebrating - I like pointless get drunk holidays. I'm not Irish, but I am a drunk! As a Hispanic who gets paid leave for Columbus day to celebrate the infesting and enslavement of my ancestors by some pirate rapist murderer, whatever.
