What are your plans for St. Patty's Day?

smeigs · Mar 16, 2014

Well, tomorrow is St. Patty's. I will be celebrating by drinking Guinness on tap throughout most of the day (Im off the next couple days), listening to some Irish bands at a local bar, smoking my pipe out on the bar patio and perhaps some good corned beef and Irish Whisky to end the night.. What are your plans for tomorrow? Hope everyone enjoys the day and happy smoking everyone!

I'm working my way through a bottle of Connemara whisky. It's way different from the usual Irish potables. Very smoky and very good.

Lamb and potatoes for dinner. I'll fly the "Green Flag" all day. To end the day I'll reread "St. Patrick's Confessio" while enjoying a pipe and some Jameson.
Sláinte agus táinte!

I'll be working from 7 am until 10 pm. Only break I'll get is to eat dinner.
By the way, happy birthday Bradley.

Irish car bombs and a couple friends are coming over to play left for dead. Not exactly the most exciting evening but I'm sure it'll be fun.

For all you fellow Irish Cat-o-licks, tomorrow you are exempt from Lent. I did not know this until out of sheer desperation realizing I'd given up alcohol for lent and looking for a loophole I came to find out that it's okay to break lent for the day. http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/holidays/st_patricks_day.htm
I also found out you are allowed to break lent on Sunday's http://catholicism.about.com/b/2008/02/29/reader-question-should-we-fast-on-sundays.htm
This resulted in me having too many beers after midnight last night and being too tired for Mass in the morning :{ Oh well, this is what confession is for.

sfsteves · Mar 17, 2014

Haven't yet made any plans, but the weather forecast is a good one and I know something spontaneous will come up and it'll be a fine day for the wearin' o' the green, not only for those of us who are Irish, but for all the rest who'll be Irish for the day ...

petes03 · Mar 17, 2014

Unfortunately I have to work tonight, so I'm doing a little celebratin' this morning.

2011 HH Highland Blend in a 2013 Peterson St. Pat's and a cold beer! Top of the mornin' to all!

peckinpahhombre · Mar 17, 2014

Have a special day Bradley. To be born on this day is a unique honour.

flakyjakey · Mar 17, 2014

@Bradley, you could hardly pick a better whisky. Lagavulin is my favourite Islay malt. Have a great day!!

plateauguy · Mar 17, 2014

Happy birthday, Bradley! T'is a fine day for a birthday! I'll toast you tonight with a nice glass of Jameson.
We had our St. Patty's dinner last night, my Danish/German wife can outcook my Irish mother anyday when it comes to corned beef. When I asked her how she did it so well, she just smiled and said, "The Irish are part Scandinavian you know. That's why there's red hair."
Happy St. Patricks Day Everyone!

Gonna try to hit a few antique shops and then spend a couple of hours in one of the several local Irish taverns... if we can get in. Most set up outdoor tents to help handle the SPD crowds but even at that, you gotta get there early to claim a spot. This will be my first year as a smoker.

sablebrush52 · Mar 17, 2014

Lunch with friends, then I teach advanced Photoshop this evening.

flakyjakey · Mar 17, 2014

My campaign plan is to smoke six different Irish blends in six different Peterson pipes. I'm half-way through and well on track!!

psychpipes · Mar 17, 2014

I plan on taking refuge in my office as my wife is having a girl's night. Video games, a pipe, and a stiff drink.

mso489 · Mar 17, 2014

For lunch, fish, sheepshead, I think. A mid-afternoon Irish coffee using recipes and pointers from Forums

members on concocting said drink. For supper, pork tenderloin. Didn't want my wife to get into making

corned beef from scratch. She'll undertake any cooking or baking projects at the drop of a hat. Maybe a

movie, at home or out, later.

aquilas · Mar 17, 2014

Might be going out downtown after work (I already work downtown), so I brought my 2014 Peterson St Patrick's Day 264 and some university flake to work today. If we don't go out tonight, thinking of stopping by the store to stock up on some guiness and enjoying the pipe at home.

seagullplayer · Mar 17, 2014

Tonight I'll try my first bowl of Virginia flake in a new pipe. Thought about painting the pipe green.
Tomorrow night I'll be entertaining at a local nursing home, telling a few Irish jokes, playing guitar and singing a few songs badly, even have a cheap plastic green hat for the occasion.
If I still drank I would have a green beer, but I don't so drink one for me if you care to.

pylorns · Mar 17, 2014

Tonight I plan on smoking my Peterson System, and working on restoring a couple older pipes - and hopefully sipping on some Irish Whiskey.

What are your plans for St. Patty's Day?
