The (un)luck of the Irish!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY, EVERYONE!
 
I celebrated my St. Patrick's Day by waking up at 5am and driving two hours and ten minutes to work.  Then heading to my mom's house and possibly making myself an Irish Car Bomb.  Better than last year when I had a pint of Guinness with the traditional Irish fried seafood from the Jersey Shore.
 
I'm German and Irish but I have a nice mix of those stereotypical personalities - the German side I have a nice cool, controlled, pushed down rather than show it form of anger but from my Irish side I get a love of good beer, a laid back personality (just didn't get the anger), the knowledge that the best way to treat a woman is to punch her like she's a pop star (too soon?) so I'd very much like to celebrate this great day/excuse to get hammered.  They should make it a Friday every year.  And we should get off as a national holiday.
 
Oh well, at least my mom has some Irish potatoes waiting for me.
 
And possibly some St. Patty's Day boxers.
