Next Friday is St. Patrick’s day. I propose a drunk-driving test for the Information Superhighway. At 5pm on that day, grab your poison-of-choice, and join the party at this thread. Time zone doesn’t matter, just join in when your clock chimes 5! Last one standing has to clean the bathroom. Who’s in? ---

Who the HELL turned the taps on?? The party doesn’t start until 5pm next Friday, folks. Just tell us what you’re bringing so we don’t end up with 50 cases of Coors Light and 16 gallons of potato salad! ---

Small note on this Friday’s online St. Patrick’s Day party-I’m sure that Dolly the Sheep will be a nice addition to the party, but I said,“Send in the clowns.” Will somebody tell that animal to get away from the the table. That isn’t sheep dip! ---

Name your drink, and a toast for me to say while I drink it, and you can have the pleasure of knowing that someone is having your drink and toasting your toast at the biggest paddys day party in the world.

Sorry, can’t join you, I’ll be in Denver attending my first boxing fight. It should be good. Or at least I hope so because it cost me $30. * * * “I have a lot of good ideas, problem is most of them suck.” -George Carlin ---

No it isn’t, it’s Stevie Johnston’s title defense. It is being put on by America Presents. I don’t know who they are, but it should be good. Plus it will be on ESPN 2. * * * “I have a lot of good ideas, problem is most of them suck.” -George Carlin ---

I always found it amusing that americans celebrate st patricks day more then the Irish. Being an Irishman myself…it is odd 🙂 * * * One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious _Carl Jung_ ---

An excuse to party is _never_ odd! When the taps open tomorrow at 5, we’ll turn the set over the bar on and watch the fight, TripleAnt. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/online-st-paddys-party/14956.md?page=2)
