Brilliant!
Yes, it’s that time again, the second-holiest day of the year (trailing only Talk Like a Pirate Day, of course.) Today, those of us lucky enough to be Irish or just alcoholic can celebrate our heritage or addictions by tossing back many pints of the sacred linn dubh (known as Guinness to the ungodly.)
Personally, as the product of many generations of Irish drunks, I am appalled at being forced to type this post while at work. The Powers That Be have still not seen clear to give this day the federal holiday it so richly deserves. When will the discrimination end? Sure, I can wage my own little protest and celebrate Irish tradition by not working very hard, but that’s hardly the same thing.
If you are as offended by this miscarriage of justice as I, do likewise! Spend the day goofing off, reading blogs when you should be working, and generally being as unproductive as possible. It’s the only way those Saxon bastards will learn they can’t push us around.
Six hours til the first pint of linn dubh.
