#8  The explanation I always heard was that St. Paddy's Day let the Irish cut loose in the middle of Lent while still being considered good Catholics ...

#6  I pulled off a decent grilled 'boiled dinner' a few years ago - re-brined the corned beef overnight, cut it into 1 1/2' chunks, in went the cut cabbage, carrots, potatoes & ten cloves of garlic into a roasting pan, threw in about 4 cups of chicken / vegetable broth into a roasting pan, covered it w/ plastic and foil, 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

#2  My favorite St. Patties Day prank: Get up, drink 12 oz of cream of asparagus soup, go to the festivities and win money betting you can p*ss green.

#1  I have several good Irish friends. Their friendship is overpowering as they are otherwise the most annoying people I know besides myself...
