Are you wearing green today?

[azmouse]

I am!!
And I'll pinch you if you're not! Watch out! :P

[Deja Q]

1. Should I replace my green with tartan red then?

:evilgrin:

[azmouse]

4. hmmmm.... LOL

Pinch! :P

[1gobluedem]

2. Absolutely!

Of Irish heritage and darn proud of it.

[Patiod]

3. Plus green Mardi Gras beads

I have hundreds left over from a Katrina fund-raiser, so I wore I bunch to work.

Should have worn more, because I've had to give a bunch away!

[azmouse]

5. How cool!

Your workplace must look interesting with all the green beads. :bounce:

[Deja Q]

6. And even moreso depending on how literal-minded the people there are!

:wow:


:bounce:
:rofl:

[azmouse]

7. What? I don't get it. *scratches head*

Ok I must be slow today...
Ok, not just today, it's a chronic condition. LOL
Help me out here!

[billyskank]

8. It's St Patrick's day

which means that everybody who has an Irish person somewhere in their genealogy, which includes almost everybody in the western hemisphere, claims on this day to be Irish, and proceeds to get totally shit-faced on Guinness.

[azmouse]

9. So drinking Manhattans doesn't count tonight???

BTW... I REALLY am part Irish. My great-grandmother and her family came from Ireland, last name of Kilpatrick!

[billyskank]

10. I'm telling ya

almost everybody is part Irish! Nobody gets about like the Irish!

[Patiod]

11. Folks may think I "earned" them at Mardi Gras

A supplier in New Orleans sent beads one year, and I was wearing them.

"Where did you get the beads, Pattie?"
"I was down on South Street, flashing for them, Rose." Now, I'm over 40 at this point, and assumed Rose got the joke.

Later, in the lunchroom, they were all talking about a riot that had occurred the previous night at Mardi Gras celebrations on South Strett.
"You should ask Pattie about it," says Rose. "She was THERE!!!"
"No Rose, no I definitely wasn't there -- I was kidding about flashing for beads. I'm a smidgeon too old to be flashing on South Street..."

[azmouse]

13. D'oh!

I forgot that some people think you have to flash the goodies to get beads!

I was at Mardis Gras in 2001. A friend of mine joked that I must have had a REALLY good time there with all the beads I brought home. That was the first time I'd ever heard of that. Trust me, I'm over 40 too and the 'girls' didn't get flashed at anyone! LOL

[DrGonzoLives]

12. Yes

:beer: A toast the to the cause.

[azmouse]

14. I'll drink to that!

:toast:

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Yes

Green shirt

[Ariana Celeste]

16. Yep

If you count the green on my Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon tshirt. :)

[azmouse]

17. That works for me!

:hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

20. righteous

:hi: :beer:

[evlbstrd]

18. I'm wearing my Irish flag lapel pin

and my family crest lapel pin. On my lapel. Am I overdressed?

[azmouse]

25. As long as you don't look like this guy, you're good to go.

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

30. Lord, no!

Not even close.

[Initech]

19. I'm wearing my green Dropkick Murphys shirt.

And I think I'm the only one at my work right now that's wearing green! :evilgrin:

[kiraboo]

21. No. My marriage is imploding, we can't afford to pay the taxes

and heating on our home so we must sell, I've had a stomach virus for ten days and it's TWENTY FUCKING DEGREES outside. I'm not wearing green, and if you pinch me, I'll cut off your fingers. Just sayin'.

[azmouse]

23. Nope. No pinch for you.

How about a hug instead?
I hope and pray things turn around in your life very soon.

[kiraboo]

33. Thank you azmouse. I'm a great lump of misery these days.

I appreciate your kind thoughts.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. I have a green bracelet on, does that count?

And I'm rocking out to some Flogging Molly, so that has to count for something as well.

[azmouse]

27. That counts!

:yourock:

[Strong Atheist]

24. No.

x(

[azmouse]

28. Duuude! You just want me to pinch you!

OK!! Pinch! :P

[Strong Atheist]

29. Ouch! HEY! .... nt.

[Left Is Write]

26. Only because my children wanted me to.

I have a kelly green tank top peeking out from beneath my brown v-neck sweater.

[no name no slogan]

31. Accidentally

The olive green was the only clean polo I had.

[Gormy Cuss]

32. No, And if you pinch me my deeply rooted Irish genes will

force me to call you an idjit, then dump green beer on your head.
;-)

Where did this weird pinch thing start? Never heard of it until I moved outside of areas with big Irish-American communities.

[azmouse]

34. I have no idea where the pinching started.

But I'm part Irish too. All I do today is wear green.
I'll pass on the green beer. :puke:

[politicat]

35. Nope. I'm not Catholic.

Not wearing Orange, either.

[Nikia]

36. I forgot

Then I remembered while eating breakfast but forgot to change.

[tjwmason]

37. No.

Black, white, blue, fawn and silver.

Nowt Irish about me. :P

[CBGLuthier]

38. nahh, I never wear green on this day

My mother's father was of irish descent and her mother english descent. My father's father is of Scot and american indian descent.

So I usually spend the day beating the shit out of myself. ;-)

[texas1928]

39. Got my Irish stuff on.

GO NOTRE DAME!!! FIGHT IRISH FIGHT!!!!

[scarlet_owl]

40. Yes I am. I also have my shamrock pin on.

[mvd]

41. Wore my Philadephia Eagles shirt

That has some green at least.

Night, all! Everyone have as good weekend. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

42. I am.

Green shirt, green eye shadow, green bow in my hair. :D

[u4ic]

43. No - I'm not Irish

but...my eyes are green...:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

44. As a Pagan, I am ambivalent about celebrating a holiday

for a "saint" who was responsible for driving paganism out of Ireland (no, it was not snakes - snakes was a euphemism for pagans).

[Kali]

45. I had a couple of mojitos earlier and I think there is still some

mint in my teeth - does that count?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. Yup!

Greenish earrings!

:woohoo:
