Uisce Beatha

Today was the day of our people...Today was our Patron Saint's (Patrick) Day!!!!! He drove all the snakes out of Ireland. (Ok, that's not exactly true. Ireland never had any snakes to begin with, but that's besides the point.)

It's actually a Day of Holy Obligation if you're Irish, but then you go home after Mass and drink!!

So take that, Anglo-Saxon Americans! You use to hate us (Help Wanted: No Irish need apply), but on March 17th you want to BE us. I think that's one point for the Motherland. 

I have been drinking all day. 

If you were wondering, Uisce Beatha (Ish keh Ba Ha) is Gaelic for Craythur or as you probably know it, Whiskey. Uisce Beatha actually translates in English as, "Water of Life" 

Ok, that's enough. This is too embarrassingly Irish for one day.
