St. Patty's Day

Just seeing what you all are planning to wear on Thursday.

For me? Without a doubt, Green Irish Tweed

**The Nid Hog** · 03-14-2011, 12:02 PM

I plan to be surrounded in the fragrance of damp wool and spilt stout.

I thought you said split trout.

I'll be wearing the traditional musk of lamb's blood, mirepoix, and Guinness.

Withdrawn, hoping not to offend.

**tbress** · 03-14-2011, 01:00 PM

My Sir Irisch Moos should have arrived by then.

**maxman** · 03-14-2011, 01:04 PM

The best I can do is Irish Spring body wash.

**Obsessed** · 03-14-2011, 02:59 PM

I'll wear whatever is least likely to attract the slobbering drunkards I'll encounter from my morning commute onward.

**coffii** · 03-14-2011, 03:01 PM

I'll be sporting new-baby smell. I'm expecting a new daughter on Thursday.

**BingeAndPurge** · 03-14-2011, 03:03 PM

An Italia t-shirt and maybe something from my new batch of samples.

What'll I wear on Thursday? I'm not sure but by the end of the day it may smell like stale booze.

...as for me? I'm w/Obsessed. I'll wear what's least likely to attract the slobbering, vomiting drunkards who frequent the 2 Irish bars that are on the block where I work, and who tend to crowd, pi** & yell loudly on said block (starting @ about 9am). It doesn't help that this block is also one of the feeder blocks for the parade.

RE: let's not do this, +1. This is absolutely, positively not the place to re-debate Irish home rule.

Congratulations!

Patrick by Fragrances of Ireland. And after months of trying to decide which Creed to buy next, I feel myself gravitating once again to the greenest of the green Creeds, Original Vetiver (I'm just not digging the rest of them all that much now that they've taken Green Valley out and aren't offering GIT in a 4 oz bottle) . . .

Really? the Irish don't wear kilts. The Scots do.

hehe. it's a common mistake - I've lived in Ireland on and off for years and never saw a kilt there. there are, however, solid-colored kilt-like garments worn by Irish pipers called tartans that you might see every so often.
