I’m WFH tomorrow because I don’t feel like dealing with the drunken amateurs messing with my rush hour commute coming out of NYC. Also means everyone assumes I’m Irish because I have red hair and an accent... I suppose me requesting the band sing this song doesn’t help

If you have an idea about what “ The Troubles ” were about, you’ll find it amusing.

Man I do not miss the days where St. Patrick’s day meant I was required to get black out drunk on green beer and Jameson.

I wear a surprisingly large amount of green. So much so that I have to make a conscious effort to avoid it on St. Patrick’s Day.

Manhattan on St. Patrick’s Day is the worst. Not least because of that fucking parade screwing everything up (I will miss seeing the Irish Wolfhounds, though).

I’ve avoided NYC on St Patrick’s day the last 5 years, reason being I was riding into the city around 3pm for work and I had a girl puke on my shoes. Had to deal with that for a 12 hour shift, NEVER again.

You don’t have much choice if you have to go into NYC on St Patrick’s day.

I do not miss getting on the subway and scanning the car for the least drunken people to stand near.

Ima scare me up some corn beef for lunch tomorrow. I think the pub across the river from me will be having some on special.

Ever had to go through Penn Station the next morning? If it weren’t for the smell, the scene of pitiful hung over college kids would be funny.

There is a bar I go to every year, they start brining their corned beef in February and will probably start cooking it around 4am tomorrow morning. So. God. Damn. Delicious.

Saint Patrick’s for me pretty much just means my little sister’s birthday.

Ironically, if I were stupid wealthy I’d be buying her a Riley Elf, which at least sort of sounds Irish.

I’m salivating at my desk. A big slab of corn beef, a big chunk of cabbage, some turnip and potatoes.

Silver lining: the smell discouraged at least some homeless people from masturbating in the corridors.

Green beer is the worst, the person who thought that was a good idea needs to be beaten with a shillelagh.

You drink;

Guinness.

Smithwick’s.

O’Hara’s Celtic Stout.

Murphy’s Irish Red.

Murphy’s Irish Stout.

I’m missing some but those are the most easily available.

Also, anyone who doesn’t know what The Troubles were about, check out this BBC series. It’s fantastic.

My brother has been brining beef since last week in preparation. I’ve been stocking up on Guinness. We are only a quarter Irish, so we can hold our liquor better than most revelers. Need to get some more Jameson as my grandma an aunt drank all mine at my daughter’s birthday last weekend.

If you are willing to spend a little extra get one (or all) of these:

Redbreast Single Pot

Connemara 12 - Year single malt peated

Green Spot Single Pot

Jameson Black Barrel

Powers Irish Whiskey

They’re all really good Whiskeys.

This sounds like my time to shine, as I’ve been wanting some green apple ale. Not sure it’s green, but the name says green. That’s enough reason to drink a 12 pack.

My favorite part of corned beef are the leftovers that I turn into homemade corned beef hash.

Not a huge fan of Ciders, although if you want to keep it Irish you can go with Magners Irish Cider.

Hah I don’t like stout but I have had my fair share on St. Pat’s via car bombs. It makes me shiver just thinking about it, in a bad way.

Now that I don’t drink often I pretty much only drink IPAs or Belgian ales. I got into shots for the first time in years a few weeks ago because my friend is going to be a daddy...I paid the price. I Had to help a friend remove the entire rear end from his outback, in the freezing cold, mega hungover. Never again.

Growing up in Savannah, I’m accustomed to the craziness. And also learned how to pace yourself for a long day of partying. People forget to eat, and that’s when they have problems. lol

They probably started cooking it at 4am today.

I bullshit with the chef ever year as he is the one that carves the giganto hunk of beef. He starts at around 4am the morning of and serves it around 5pm, it’s an entire leg of beef which normally runs around 80-100lbs.

If we go by ancestry, I’m really very north-Irish.

Even my Irish roots are likely Nordic-Irish based on where they are on the Island.

I’m surprised they don’t start the day before like in Savannah. I guess there isn’t as many tourist wanting “Irish” food. That still takes a long time to cook all of the deliciousness.

I don’t know if they have the capacity, it’s a local pub that is very popular.

I sent my wife out for Jameson once and she came back with that black barrel. It’s good. I usually use whiskey for getting drunk and Scotch for sitting and sipping. I still have some 12 year Macallans that I need to finish.

"TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts." (thebloody)

Yeah, that stuff is definitely sipping Whiskey and I wouldn’t be upset if someone gave some to me instead of Scotch.
