Is it just me or does New Jersey celebrate St Patrick's day WAY more than the rest of the world? Last year we virtually had St Patrick's MONTH!!! It has already started, we have a massive parade down our way (might have something to do with the suburb we live in being called West Orange) but our local pub has already started the festivities off by holding a "1000 pounds of cabbage and corned beef" fest This Sunday.
What can you do but join in the community spirit and get down there and scoff as much as you can. 2 dollar beers help somewhat.
Obviously the Irish contingent of the Tri-State area is HUGE, hell, anyone here will tell you they virtually BUILT Manhattan back in the day. But come the end of March, I dont want to see another four leaf clover or cartoon Leprechaun or Green beer or......
Ive always wanted to go to Galway, never knew why, just had Galway as the place to visit should I end up on the emerald Isle. A definate possibility now that some friends are getting married and have cordially invited us.
*******Irish Toast No. 1
May those who love us love us. And those that don�t love us, May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn�t turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles, So we�ll know them by their limping.
*******Irish Toast No. 2
May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you�re dead.
****** Completely irrelevant Fact No.1
Frogs lay up to 4000 eggs at one time.

Go here for everything you wanted to know about St Patrick, the man, the saint, the escapist?
