As a person whose family can trace it's roots back to the time of the Dál gCais, I really fucking hate how this holiday perverts the many historical low points of Irish culture into an excuse to dress like an idiot and drink.

Frankly, I can do that any day that I like and usually do.

hashtag and the circle is now complete

Yellow spot? I beg to differ. Also if you need am excuse to drink you're just bad at life. And irish car bombs may be politically incorrect but damn you're tasty

I was going to type out "Midleton's Very Rare 25 Year Single Pot Still", but Yellow Spot was shorter and Mitchell & Son deserve more airplay for the readily available lines. I haven't tried the Green Cask Strength (don't even know if I can get it here) but I hear it is tops.

I thought that the circular state of both "living as" and "hating the thing that one is perceived as" was the most important part of the joke?

I think we can all agree single pot > single malt

Isn't life the excuse to drink?

Quite. (Also, breaking off at the meta-hashtag allows me to avoid the whiskey debate, which is a difficult discussion, depending on company.)

PS: You have good whiskey taste. (And new Kinja makes my replies look like those of a madman.)

Tá mé go maith; fearr ag an 18th
