Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Agreed. I went along with the whole "St. Paddy's Day is the 15th this year" thing because I preferred to waste a Saturday drinking and not a fucking Monday. As everything went down, it was three nights of fairly heavy drinking and I'm ready for a break. Natch, I've got a friend calling me making it sound like I'm betraying a family member by not coming out for more drinks tonight. Doesn't anybody have god damn school or work tomorrow?

Guest Beastalentier Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Between the theological questionability of celebrating a human elevated to demi-god status, the perpetuation of offensive ethnic stereotypes, and the emergence of all the worst that bros have to offer, there's a strong case that St. Patrick's Day is the worst holiday ever.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 18, 2008 I just had my last final about a half hour ago. I don't really care about celebrating an ethnicity which I'm not, though, but I do love an excuse to drink. However, I have to move to a new apartment tomorrow and lifting and moving around furniture is much more painful when hung over and tired. St. Pattys is such a pointless holiday unless you're Irish. I also like how people celebrate ANOTHER country's independence during Cinco de Mayo. Guess we need something to do during March and May since there's no other holidays, right? What's going on during August and September? MAKE THEM COUNT TOO, DAMMIT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Don't people from Scotland hate people from Ireland? Or the other way around? I used that as my excuse for not doing anything, being of Scottish heritage, but nobody really knew whether it was true or not. Close enough, I guess.

Guest Beastalentier Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Thanksgiving has been giving me diminishing returns for the last eight years. I just can't get excited about it. It's obligatory food. However, I don't actively wish it would forever go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 I can't say I actively hate any holiday but despite being Irish, I'm increasingly apathetic towards St. Patrick's Day.

Broward83 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Cinco de Mayo is when all the Mexican's ('bout 500) rose up to kick the French's ass in a battle. No one down there celebrates this shit that I'm aware of when I was living in the Rio Grande Valley for four years. It's pretty much an excuse for white's to wear sombreros, drink copious amounts of Corona and act even more of an ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Cinco de Mayo is pretty analogous to St. Patrick's Day, isn't it. But they actually celebrate St. Patrick's in Ireland while Cinco de Mayo is basically unrecognized and has little relevance in Mexico. Maybe I noticed it more living where I do in Denver, but all the bullshit that goes for St. Patricks also goes for Cinco de Mayo. I couldn't tell you how many people of descent have no idea of its origins, first of all. Yeah, when I was younger it was basically an excuse for anyone and everyone to cut out of school by citing the holiday as the reason when asked. Then it would cause even more assholes than usual to cruise Federal Blvd., slowing it to a crawl and clogging it up for miles, while a dirty Mexican flag would wave proudly off the antenna of their shitty cars while they blasted shitty rap and Mexican music, when I would actually be trying to get somewhere. Of course you had the drinking and the assholes attempting to pick fights every so often, the occasional violence whether it be one of those fights, or a stabbing, maybe a shooting, and the occasional accident whenever a dumbass with all his friends hanging out of the windows and the flag blocking his sight would swerve and swipe a pole, jump a curb, bump another car, or run a barricade. The latter is kind of funny, watching the guy and his buddies mourn the state of their car, no matter how shitty it is, even when it's just a scratch. The only plus would be a drunk girl every now and then flashing her fat, floppy pancake tits, if it could be called a highlight, since they were usually in their mid-twenties with at least one kid, overweight and none too pretty, honestly. And if they were decent, it wouldn't matter anyway, since their normally pretty face would be caked in make-up with eyebrows drawn on with a pencil, basically alien like. There's nothing in it for me. Fuck Cinco de Mayo. Everyone with half a brain in the city knows it's nothing more than an excuse to act dumb, much like St. Patrick's Day itself, and has nothing to do with cultural affinity. Least during St. Patrick's I can choose not to go out drinking in a crowded asshole and bro filled bar and spare my dignity by not drinking wacky, festive green, and can generally avoid everything else. Cinco de Mayo shuts the city down and makes it unbearable and I fucking hate it. I like nothing better than taking a few off and retreating into my house so I can avoid the shit because it's so invasive here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
