When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Go mbeadh tochas i do thoin agus do dha lamha a ceangailt ort!
(no fadas! and dont quote me on the spelling anyway!)

A Belated Happy St. Paddys Day and happy easter to you all!

PS I somehow never heard of Pattys Day until this yea... See more

Glad that this thread has helped a few to know St Pat!

10% of Americans today have Irish blood (more than 30 million people - which is more than 7 times the population of Ireland), and of course are proud of it!

The history of the "shanty Irish" in America is like that of so many immigrants. What didn't kill them made them stronger.

I'll leave you now with another gem:

May you live for as long as you want and never want for as long as you live.

Thanks for the nice link, but I actually meant the use of the name "Patty" as opposed to "Paddy"!!! I have heard of the day being Irish, couldnt not have!!
I dont think Patty is commonly used in Ireland so was wondering if it was a US term.

It is amazing how it is celebrated in so many countries nowadays that dont even have an Irish community/connection.
Anyways top of the morning to you!
