St. Paddy's Day
« on: March 16, 2005, 03:06:00 pm »
so where is everyone going to be puking tomorrow?
 
 i have a couple of friends in town and i'm trying to decide where to go ... i've spent the last few years at wall-to-wall packed irish places where you wait 30-60 mins to get in and 15 mins for a beer ... i don't think i'm going to put up with that again
 
 any ideas for less-packed irish bars in DC?  other non-irish places?

i think i'll be somewhere on the hill, slightly more interested in watching the first round of the ncaa. . .which happens to coincide with me drinking anyway.  probably cap. lounge or pourhouse.

that's amature night.  why pay more to get stuck in bigger crowds of stoopid people?
 it's sort of like going out to a nice restaurant on valentine's day.  it's a no in my book.

Damn work is making us go to a nursing training class that starts 2 hours before our usual start time. Fuck! They really hate us this month, it seems as I've had to forfeit everything for a crap job. At least I get to come home earlier. If I didn't have to work the next day, and the next, and the next...and so on, maybe I'd join some of you. As it stands, I'll have to settle for partying with the demented old ladies at work on Sunday with alcohol free beer. Whoopie!   :roll:

Jag-- make sure they pay you for your time, they pay for the class registration, and they pay for any supplies you need for the class.  (labor law, you know).  If they don't, you have the right to file an Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) complaint.  Also, make sure you get the overtime you have coming-- time and a half when you're over 40 hours.

Hey? What did I do? I hate themed bars, especially Irish ones. Leave me outta this.

     St Patrick was credited for driving the snakes out of ireland... well folks, like New Zealand, it doesn't have any snakes that are native to the land. I will never understand why people feel the need to thank St. Patrick and celebrate the man's life. He was a bigot and a religious oppressor. People say he drove the "snakes" out of Ireland; yet all he did was torture and convert Pagans against their will, and the ones he could not convert he simply got them to leave Ireland by any means he saw fit
 
     so yay - lets get drunk. :/

The snakes crap is a metaphor for the Pagans he oppressed.....did you know he was English by birth?? Ironic, no?
 
 Anyway, just got back from the Cork St. Patricks day parade...talk about nationalistic. If it was St. Georges day parade there'd be all kinds of complaining going on about it.
 
 I guess a lot of the Irish took a trip over to Cheltenham this week to launder their Northern Bank notes.  ;)
