March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day. Nobody really knows why we celebrate this holiday or who St. Patrick was, it's sort of like Cinco de Mayo, we just celebrate to celebrate. But if you were wondering, St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and because of this, Ireland made March 17th a holiday. It soon became part of their culture and now we all celebrate. Now that you're a little smarter, here are 5 things you should do during St. Patties Day:
1) Drink: Obviously you should drink. Not drinking would be like not giving presents during Christmas, it's a must. If you drink green beer, that's double points. Beer Gardens, Irish Car Bombs, Guinness, Bailey's, Jamison- these are your choices for the day.
2) Corn Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes: I don't know why but I always ate this on St. Patties day and it's good.
3) Watch The Boondock Saints: Only because it's the best Irish movie ever. Make it a drinking game if you want or use this time to recharge your batteries.
4) Wear GREEN: Don't be a nonconformist, seriously. Unless you hate Irish people...I guess. You're not cooler than the rest of us for not partaking on the festivities. Wear green or don't complain about getting pinched/punched.
5) Kiss an Irish Girl: 1/32th Irish doesn't count and just because she's wearing a, "Kiss me, I'm Irish" shirt, probably doesn't mean she's Irish. Find a pretty Irish girl/guy to kiss and if you can't find one, drink till she/he is good enough!
6) Don't Drink and Drive: Because that shit is stupid and you're going to kill someone. Be safe, call a taxi-double points if it's green.
