Great Grandfather was a big time Protestant, no joke when I say St. Patty's doesn't sit well with the older, other end of my family. People still can't seem to wrap their heads around that when I tell them its a Catholic holiday.

However I myself couldn't care less - I'll be at Brennan's in about an hour.
See you guys tommorrow morning nursing what should be a fantastic hangover.

You are both right. And both wrong.

The term "shamrock" derives from the Irish word, seamrog, which translates to "little clover." Rather vague, considering that there are many kinds of clovers -- and even more plants that can pass as clovers to the layman. Consequently, in St. Patrick's Day celebrations a number of plants serve as Irish shamrocks. But there is no "real McCoy" that can claim to be the authoritative shamrock.

The Legend of St. Patrick and Irish Shamrocks

What medick, the wood sorrels and the true clovers all have in common is a trifoliate leaf structure, i.e., a compound leaf with three leaflets. The number 3, of course, is significant in the Christian religion, because of the doctrine of the Trinity. Irish legend has it that the missionary, Saint Patrick demonstrated the principle behind the Trinity using a shamrock, pointing to its three leaflets united by a common stalk. But there is no way of determining with certainty the exact plant referred to in the legend. This much we can say about Irish shamrocks, however. By definition, for a clover to represent the Trinity, it would have to bear 3 (and only 3) leaves. So for all the good luck they allegedly bring, 4-leaf clovers technically can't be considered shamrocks (not in the sense that St. Patrick made the latter famous, at least).

Wow... just getting home now. That was quite the evening.

I show up at the Pub and first thing I hear when I get through the door "Come do a shot of Jameson!!"

Then somebody offered me a green Miller Lite and I just laughed and ordered a couple Guiness' until the car-bombs starting coming in by the dozen. by the time that marathon was over the band showed up. - Started about 4ish - didnt leave the first place until, 8something the rest is a complete blurr.

I woke up next to a girl I knew in high school and haven't seen for 2 years, a reciept for a pizza place I've never heard of, an incredible hangover and my car in a parking lot across town.

I'd call that a solid time. St. Patty's was another success. Hopefully you guys were able to avoid the cops like the plague.

edit; almost forgot. Order this about a week ago for last night.
