Happy St. Patricks Day!
Happy St. Patty's Day! Here in Savannah, GA we have a huge parade and celebration (2nd largest in the US, next to New York). While I'm not Irish, it is a lot of fun to watch the parade, in fact my children get the day off of school
Here's to all of my Irish friends! Cheers!

Today would have also been my grandmother's 109th birthday. It's a great day to remember her.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, indeed! About to go off to the bar for a couple, then to a party at my in-laws for a bit. Later on... I'll be back! (And working on the six-pack of Harp's I got at the store the other day...) Hahahaha!

Couple of important points.
1. Patrick is typically shortened to Paddy, not Patty.
2. That drunk by 10.20PM? Really?
3. As it happens I did go for a drink tonight. Did anyone ever have those cider flavoured ice lollies as a kid? Magners tastes a lot like them.

I found God. Then I lost him. He'll probably turn up down the back of the sofa someday.

Not down here, and there are a bunch of them in the area. I guess it is where you come from...Sixswitch wrote:Couple of important points.

Really? I've never seen it shortened to "Paddy" before, always "Patty". Insert Americans can't spell anyway joke here, but we're better than Dalek. Sorry couldn't resist.Sixswitch wrote:1. Patrick is typically shortened to Paddy, not Patty.
I didn't do anything for St. Patrick's day except work and go to the gym. This holiday's never meant much to me.
Thanks, Zeeks! Great job!

Fair enough. I've never heard it shortened to Patty, so yep, I guess it varies by area. However I live closer to Ireland than you, so I'm declaring victory.
Just out of interest, are any of us folks who've celebrated St Patrick's actually Irish (even partially)? I'm not, but it's a decent excuse, aint it?

I don't really celebrate the holiday, but it brings Savannah a lot of tourism money, so it is a big celebration through the city here.
Yeah, we do spell things differently here. We also use words in a different fashion for certain meanings as well. Hell, half of the folks I have seen posting can't spell at all
I guess that is why there is an American English dictionary instead of just a plain English one for U.S. (us) that is anyway.
