The fountains at the White House are green today. That's just kind of cool.

Fuck St. Patrick's day. In the ass. Without lube.
I had to walk through Manhattan today with a bunch of drunken fucktards in green shirts hollering out of cabs demanding blowjobs from anything that squats to take a piss walking by.

Yeah, but if you're in the Dallas area, nothing like seeing a bunch of Mexicans walking around in shirts saying "Kiss me I'm Irish" and whatnot. Especially since hardly any bars in central Texas have Guinness or any other Irish beer on tap.

The thing that pisses me off about all that leprechauns and green beer shit is that noone walks around in blackface on Martin Luther King day, eating fried chicken and watermelon and drinking copious amounts of malt liquor. Because they'd get their teeth knocked in, and rightly so.

And yet, this "everyone's Irish, so dress like you belong on a box of Lucky Charms, eat Corned Beef and Cabbage and dye your beer green, then get liquored up and get into a fight" isn't seen as hitting every possible objectionable stereotype.

It's not easy peeing green.

[soma_stardust]

i like st. patrick's day because i get to be all "i'm white and proud" without getting my ass handed to me.

Aren't you the ray of sunlight today.

You have to wonder whether objectionable stereotypes are created by people that stereotype or by people that object...

Food for though. Saint Patrick was a slave.
