[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is almost that time of year again, when things become green and the sounds of joy are in the air... no, not spring. It's Irish Christmas, where Santy Pat brings good little Irish boys and girls kegs of Guinness, while bad Irish children get a can of Bud in their stockings. Also, Leprechaun hunting season begins. So get your Irish on, wear some green, load up on booze, and play this week's quiz! angledge and I have gotten ourselves specially Irished up just for this occasion. Which is to say, we're drunk.

Hey, now! Don't knock da Bud!!
Guinness can bite me. That's right, I said it.

If I'm Irish at all, it's like .5% on my dad's European mutt side. And my mom's 100% Polish. Which means half the time, my only excuse for drinking is because the sun came up that day. Zing! But I love my mom's family. They never fail to provide drink-ege.

I'll be going to a knitting party on St. Patrick's Day, where I will be taught how to knit as we watch Leprechaun and as I drink to my heart's content. I can't wait to see how *this* turns out... can you say, total disaster?

The first drink I ever had was a Guinness at thier Storehouse in St. James’s Gate. It ws horrible at the time, but now its my drink of choice. Sláinte.

[shinga.livejournal.com]

I've never had Guinness :D

[sestree.livejournal.com]

Yeah tease me toy with me taunt me with that Guiness picture.

I keep telling people that drunk accountants are HAPPY accountants but they just won't listen.

*sigh*

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

Wotta coincidence, drunk chemists are happy chemists too.

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

Small world. It's the same with government contractors.

[buzz.livejournal.com]

Same thing with real time firmware developers. Except when the Navy comes down us later because the radar displays only allow them to log into WoW. Then we're not so happy.

[timba.livejournal.com]

you could knit a beer cozy!

:-D

[timba.livejournal.com]

Same with file clerks!

I mean, there is that minor issue of sober people not knowing the drunk-phabet...

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard, actually being able to log into WoW is a bit of an accomplishment :)

[baseballchica03.livejournal.com]

Hell, it's practically the natural state of grad students.

[buzz.livejournal.com]

To tell the truth, I've been playing for almost 3 months now and only had a problem once. Maybe I'm just lucky. :D

[kizoku.livejournal.com]

Change that to college students and you've got it covered. Sober undergrads are an endangered species from what I've noticed, especially this time of year. (Post-midterm stress starts.. now!)

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Never too late to start!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

The Guinness calls to you. "Driiiiiiiink meeeeeeee..." OBEY!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

There are sober undergrads? Inconceivable!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Aye. A good heavy dark beer. Guinness- the beer that eats like a meal. Bring it!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, Leprechaun movies. Fun for the whole family. Lep in da Hood, up to no good!

[deltashade.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, rub my underagedness in my face.

[ihateusernames.livejournal.com]

Seriously! She sent me the invitation, and the process of me reading it went something like:

"blah blah blah St. Patrick's Day blah blah blah knitting blah blah IF YOU WANT TO WATCH LEPRECHAUN, GHOSTBUSTERS OR BACK TO THE FUTURE..."

and I immediately hit reply before reading the rest of the message. It didn't matter, I just wanted to watch movies. Apparently I'm now going to learn how to knit, also. *shrug* I'm down for learning new skills. Maybe if I have knitting to keep my hands busy, I won't smoke so much while sitting around my apartment...

[skfromstamford.livejournal.com]

you have an amazing userpic.

[ihateusernames.livejournal.com]

That's a damn fine idea!

[ihateusernames.livejournal.com]

I'll drink to that!

And since I'm getting my masters through an online program... heh heh... oh, I've done homework and discussion board postings while drinking... yes sir... hell, I could do them naked if I wanted.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Don't EVEN try to tell me that tomorrow you couldn't get a Guiness somewhere if you wanted to.

Not that I'm advocating an illegal course of action. Just commenting.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Especially at my office! You know why....

[angledge.livejournal.com]

You. Pikey. What are you doing for St. Paddy's Day?

[deltashade.livejournal.com]

There are people in my dorm who drank 128 Heinekens just because it was a regular Friday. I wouldn't be surprised if I have to wade through booze to get to my room tomorrow.

[kizoku.livejournal.com]

I think there are two. Those are the ones who haven't realized finals are a little over a month away.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

Assuming I can function tomorrow (illness all week long)

Going to catch the Orb at Bimbo's 365 Club up in North Beach. Gee what will I do before the show starts, hmm... say, there's Kennedy's Pub and Curry House across the street, maybe I can find something to do over there...
(Seriously. It's an Irish pub attached to an Indian restaraunt. Two countries that have been fucked over by the Brits and have a fondness for potatoes, that's my take on it.)

I may actually have extra ticketage, if you're interested. For that matter, tix might still be available at the box office, dunno. Their site doesn't say if it's sold out or not.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Tell me more of this Orb you speak of.

And Kennedy's rocks my socks.

[kizoku.livejournal.com]

Isn't dorm life lovely?

[deltashade.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's positively a blast. And these kids are engineering majors, too.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

The Orb is a Brit-origin electronica band, I'm not entirely up on all the little sub-genres, but I've been told that they're called 'smart techno'. They certainly use a lot of interesting samples.

The only thing of theirs that I know of making it into pop culture was a car commercial using 'Little Fluffy Clouds', which has a voice-over of Ricky Lee Jones.

I saw them perform a few years ago at Maritime Hall (back when they still held shows there) and it was pretty hot - scads of people dancing like mad everywhere.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

Also, I shall be wearing the kilt. So.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Take photos! Kilts are sexy.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Have fun! I predict Kennedy's will be a mob scene.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

Well, the good Lord willing, I'll be able to get out of work around, say, three-ish at the latest. Hopefully that'll give me enough time to find a parking spot and zip on in before the madness begins.

You mean like this?

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Damn right!

[marasca.livejournal.com]

Liar! It is SO St. Paddy's day already!

God bless time zones. Where's my beer? ;)

[baseballchica03.livejournal.com]

The scholar/Arrested Development one? Heh, I love it. I use it all the time. Created by perryngua and fully gankable with credit, if you're interested.

[nakedblueninja.livejournal.com]

Ahhh leprechauns. They power my computer, make my car go, and kick me repeatedly in the crotch once a month to prove I've still fertile. Me and leprechauns really do have a love/hate relationship going on.

I am fully planning on getting so blitzed out drunk that I can't even think for St. Paddy's. It's not only my birthright, but an obligation, seeings as my gramma came from county Derry. It also helps that I don't work that night, Or the next!~

I think it's time to go hunting me some stupid leprechauns. I need a faster computer.

[nakedblueninja.livejournal.com]

Drunk security guards are also happy security guards. Except when they're supposed to be on duty, and can't be drunk anymore.

[kizoku.livejournal.com]

ohlord! You're getting more iconlove now cause I <3 Blue's Clues. (Even though I'm about triple the age of their target audience, I think.)

[kizoku.livejournal.com]

Heh, I live with Recording Industry majors. It's a trip, let me tell you.

[baseballchica03.livejournal.com]

That is because Blues Clues ROCKS. Or, it did before they got this Joe person.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Beware of those tricksy leprechauns! Fry 'em up good- they taste like beer and candy.

Meanwhile, good luck on the getting blitzed thing. It's a good idea!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I don't think they have leprechauns in Japan. You'll just have to find an oni or something. Or maybe a ninja, and just deck him out in green.

Anyway, DRINK UP! And see you soon!

*is sitting at home on laptop, having dairy queen and is STONE COLD SOBER* Damn being nineteen in America. I'm three-quarters Irish, even! I should be sloshed off my ass! Hmm, wonder if that Mike's is still good...
