IlliniKrush Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The drunkest day of the year on this campus is today. To everyone here, happy unofficial. I'll be getting up at 8:15 to start drinking. Hope you all make it through the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Went to bed at 2:00 AM, woke up at 6:45 AM. I'll be wearing my authentic St. Patty's Day Sox hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 St. Paddy's is for amatuers anyway. Professional drinkers don't need some stupid snakes-outta-Ireland holiday as a reason to get pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 My dad's from Ireland and said he was surprised when he saw how much drinking and partying goes on here on the 17th. He said it is different in the big cities in Ireland now, but back when he was growing up it was for visiting friends and family and either sharing a meal or tea.

DBAHO Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Some secrets for a good St. Patrick's Day for all of you Illinois College Students; 1 - Find a good place to hide your beer. 2 - Find some actual good drinking buddies. 3 - Cheerleaders and suppliers of alcohol are always welcome.

IlliniKrush Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 It's because that weekend is engineering weekend, so it's moved back every year and we celebrate unofficial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Slainte' That is the correct number of Guinness pints to imbibe at Murphy's before stumbling to LaBamba for a big greasy chorizo burrito. And on a dare, maybe a brain taco or two... :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Since we're fully engaged in endorsing stereotypes of races (Nobody ever goes 60+ days without eating to consider themselves, Irish ::see H Block Hunger Strikes of 1981:, how about we have more Unofficial holidays? Perhaps Unofficial Martin Luther King Jr. Day? We can sell 40s, fried chicken and watermelon...and perhaps even wear blackface (just like the Asian/Indian kids with "Kiss me! I'm Irish!" shirts on) Its the same thing -- endorsing stereotypes of a culture. After 1 drunk asshole in my class making us miss important information for our test & pissing the TA off enough that she wouldn't tell the other 20+ of us who were sober the information, Unofficial can go suck a fat dick. Unofficial St. Patricks' Day: Giving non-Irish people the ability to be f***ing assholes. "We must see our present fight right through to the very end. Generations will continue to meet the same fat unless the perennial oppressor, Britain, is removed. For she will unashamedly and mercilessly continue to maintain her occupation and economic exploitation of Ireland to judgment day if she is not halted and ejected." --Bobby Sands, martyr of the 1981 H Block Irish Hunger Strikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional drinkers don't need some stupid snakes-outta-Ireland holiday as a reason to get pissed. It gives them an excuse to get sloshed out of their f***ing minds, though. As 75% Irish, I have no qualms with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Well, I'm spending some quality time with my friend, James Bean. Had a class from 10-11, so I'm off to a late start. Bottoms Up fellas! See ya at Murphy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
