South Side Irish Parade...

[SoxAce]

5-10% Irish blood explains my inferior drinking..

I'm a redhead. I guess that qualifies me.

[thedoctor]

last year was the first year i made it back in quite some time. took my girlfriend who needless to say was like

 

this year i can't make it though. someone put back a few at keegan's for me.

[Flash Tizzle]

I'll be making an appearance at the parade. WoOt!

 

What I hate is how it's expected to be around 34 degrees with snow showers. Screw standing out in the open watching the parade, which wouldn't have been the objective even if it were 50. I'll stand outside Cork and Kerrys, establish camp inside, and then probably drink for 10+ hours.

One of my favorite bar stories from the SSI parade.

 

At Keegans after the parade.

 

A few years ago I had some fat read headed guy with the last name of Kowalski tell me that he was more Irish than me because he had Freckles and had 30% of a liver intact. 20 minutes later O'Kowalski was vomitting up cheap green beer. Then he was making out in the bathroom with what was a 46 year old nasty looking bar fly. Later he was attempting I believe to do the riverdance, screaming the "WEEEREE DA SSSSOUTH SIDE IRISH LKEEE AREE FATTERS ARE BEFFOOORE.". I stepped over him on the curb about an hour later, with 2 of his friends trying to drag him to the car.

 

Have fun at the parade guys, and keep safe. Its good to have fun, and its basically Irish Marti Gras. This parade is a lot of fun, and depending on the weather I may or may not be there.

Haha. I don't know why, but I've always seen the worst of society at Keegans more than any other south side bar I've ever gone to. This includes Brewbakers, BJ Fellows, Jordans; which are all 4am bars. Well, BJ Fellows used to be before Alsip wised up. I've already seen three fights and (to my memory) three people puke out in the open.

 

If you man up and go to the parade, look for a someone with a green shamrock on their white/green hat outside or within Cork and Kerrys. Sideburns, about 6'2, black jacket. There will probably be a fair amount of people fitting that description, so just go up to everyone and say "Flash?" I'll be the one who doesn't punch you.

BJ Fellows, :giggles, so Flash was cougar hunting I see.

That was interesting...

I'm several days late, but it was everything I expected from the parade. Most notably the endless amount of drunken antics. It had been several years since my last appearance, and with all the great moments were distinct minders of why the parade is ridiculous. Bars are damn near impossible to enter. You can't openly drink alcohol within sight of Western. It's an adventure trying to find a place to piss. You're options are either find a place or wait in line for 15 minutes. Of couse, don't forget about everyone's favorite issue -- parking. Our group parked two blocks west of Kedzie and hiked through the cemetary along 111th. I felt sorry for the people visiting deceased relatives and having to deal with drunks trampling over gravesites and using the ground as trash.

 

 

It was fun, though. For the first half of the parade we were in Kennedy park drinking everything within our bookbags. If only it had been warmer. My favorite memory of the day was walking through a business parking lot off 106th and Western, trying to cut through the alley to avoid walking traffic, and seeing a drunken, FAT ASS girl -- everything pulled down below her waste -- having her friend hold her up while she's leaning against a car pissing.

This is why i strongly recommend people grabbing buses from bars in the city so you can drink on your way down, and also dont have to park, the train is a good way to get there as well.

I was out drinking on Saturday night and my boss was like, "Lets get a limo" We had an excursion limo pick us up in Elmhurst and take us to the parade and let us drink in the limo for about an hour before the parade started for 200 bux. I also didnt think the bathrooms were much of an issue this year, we camped out on the side of Keegans and there were three port o potties behind it which never had much of a line.

[Milkman delivers]

You are all girls. Piss behind a dumpster in an alley like a man. The SSI parade is the only time of year where public urination is completely legal. Take advantage.

Those were the times I was always happy my Bro's place is on 101st and Oakley. I think he had 200 people over throughout the day on Sunday and I'm sure every last one of them stopped in to use the head first and to say hi second.

My favorite SSI parade story happened around when I was 25.

 

Drunk as a skunk I have enough common sense not to get into the car with my drunken friend. So I walk home. You know the weather for taking a nice stroll without a jacket, 30ish with flurries. 5 miles later I fumble for my keys and open the door. My father greets me at the door with this stern then puzzled look on his face. Son what are you doiiii....wait are you drunk. You are drunk. Now he gets very mad. I didn't understand the radar my father had to detect it. I didn't feel all that drunk. So I stand up straight, oops a bit wobbly here. I look him straight in the eye. Dad I am not drunk. Now a smirk goes on my fathers face and his color turns from bright red to a more flesh tone. Well Genius he says, I know you are drunk. How could this man question my integrity. You know what I can snow him, it worked through high school. He looks at says well first thing smart guy, you haven't lived here for 2 years. The neighbor called about 20 minutes ago and said he saw what looked like my son acting the part of an ass on 111th street. Then he says well son, what do you want to do. I said I want to go to bed. He says okay. Then as I start up the stairs. He looks where the hell do you think you are going. i look at him, going upstairs dad. You didn't sell my bedroom did you. He says, well I understand that you are 25 and all but the rules haven't changed at all around here. I look at him puzzled. He said you can sleep upstairs, but your lady friend needs to park it on the couch downstairs. I guess in my drunken state I was trying to bring my parade hook up, that I drank with at Cork and Kerry's to my house for some fun. My father drove her home, I slept it off in my bed.
