a rolling stone waiting to be set in motion

This St. Patrick day I will be sporting all black attire. This is to protest the fact that there is a day to celebrate and encourage the Irish to get drunk. First of all, for the Irish, how is this any different then any other day of their lives. And if the Irish are really catholic Christians then why do they use their famous saint as an excuse to get wasted? Shouldn't they go to mass. I'm proud of my Scottish heritage, and sure there are a fair number of Scots who enjoy the drink, but they tend to keep it to themselves, or at least in the clans. And you'll notice that the main Scottish holiday, Robbie Burns day, is celebrated in style. We get dressed up, gather together and enjoy a wholesome meal of haggis and poetry reading, we don't get sloshed in the streets and wear dumb ass t-shirts that encourage people to lip suck cuz of our blood lines. So to all the the Irish this St. Paddy's day I say:

UP YER KILT!!!
