you cannot even begin to understand how big of a holiday this is in Chicago...

A guy that works at my firm is from Ireland. He said it is crazier here in Chicago than Ireland.

Absolute freakin debauchery takes place.

Not at all. The "X" means the cross, and therefore Christ.

St. Patrick was just a drunk whose primary claim to fame is he said he drove out of Ireland some animals that were never there to begin with. I myself have driven all the Visigoths out of Ohio; when will I be beatified?

Actually, the X means Chi (Greek), though it's a nice coincidence that it looks like a cross too.

And your dismissal of St. Patrick is of course an apocryphal legend/symbolism: he was just an early missionary in Ireland.
