I wear a green shirt and drink a good amount of Guinness.
Stop at an Irish pub for lunch during the work-day and get a BLT with fried egg, then get some drinks after work. Nothing crazy.

I have one sweater. Its a psychotic green color, about half length of a normal shirt and has huge brown knobby buttons.

I only wear it on St. Patricks day, along with my shamrock antlers AND I make Corned Beef and Cabbage to eat with my Father in law, since my hubby hates it


although this year I'm considering throwing some margaritas in the mix

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
I do absolutly nothing well havent done anything since 07. Most of that due to my area consisting of celebrating St Pattys day getting wasted, I dont drink so I dont celebrate it in that way. I might wear green if I actually leave the house but if I am staying home I wont do anything special for it. I might watch Boondock Saints though to get into the festive spirit.

I will make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day. And Irish soda bread. It's the only time I make corned beef as DH isn't particularly fond of it, nor does he like cooked cabbage.

I'll probably wear my emerald green sweater to work. With my green socks with the shamrocks on them. Yes, really.

I'm of Irish heritage, but I intensely dislike corned beef, I detest cabbage (even the smell makes me nauseous), and I think Guinness is poison...so.....I'm wearing green that day and calling it good.

WE celebrate it its a fab day
but i dont like guiness and i dont like any irish whiskeys so i stick to my cider haha

i dont usually do anything for it though, Blaine will sometimes go out and have a few pints to win a hat but he hasnt even done that for a couple of years

I dont even think theres a promo night on at the pub to celebrate it, you just reminded me to ask when i get to work today

I wear green if I remember, but nothing else special. My dad says when he was a kid they used to wear orange on St. Patrick's Day. They didn't know what it meant except that every Catholic kid in town would fight with them if they wore orange.

It's a good excuse to drink, Rigel! Maybe you can dye some tequila green.

Just another day to me. I always got ribbed at work though. I never really wear green, but my maiden name is Sullivan and my first name is verry Irish, after a city in Ireland!

Go figure..

Although I do have some Irish ancestry on my dad's side, we've never really done anything. I don't even own any green clothing and detest corned beef

If I rememeber then I will wear green. But I always make cornbeef cabbage, red potatos and a Chococlate and Guiness Cheesecake.

I personally dont drink it but my DH does and I do enjoy cooking with it. I will stick to the hard ciders myself.
