Welcome back my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers to another edition of the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. As I'm sure you all know, TODAY is St. Patrick's Day. If you're NOT Roman Catholic, you might not really give much of a hoot, but if you ARE of Irish ancestry then I think you, among many, will heed the call of the night.
I'm not really going to go into the history of this acclaimed dude, Saint Patrick, more than to just say that he was a pretty good dude, banished the snakes from Ireland and proclaimed himself the "voice of the Irish". My kids and I have a bit of Irish/Scottish ancestry and we are proud of that heritage... however, NOT being Catholic really makes me personally feel like this is yet just another excuse to have a drunken night of debauchery and lewd conduct... not that Americans really NEED yet another excuse to booze it up and get trashed, especially since the Irish WEREN'T always in favor as they once immigrated to the U.S. in waves during the Irish potato famine, approximately 10 years before the American Civil War. Not too many people know that the Irish, after arriving to their new home here in the states, were forced to work in deplorable, near slavery like conditions as indentured servants to pay for their way across the Atlantic Ocean to escape starvation during the potato famine.
ANYWAY... on with the blog...
Today being the annual holiday of the Irish brings back memories of younger days, drinking green beer, smoking green stuff, and partying it up all night long! Whatever your personal reason, whether you are Irish or not, have a good fun evening, don't drink too much, don't smoke too much, don't party too much... JUST ENOUGH :)
Oh, and don't forget to wear green... unless you WANT to be pinched, hahahahahaha
P.S. as mentioned in the above sticker... if it weren't for alcohol, the Irish would have taken over the world by now, lol... have a good, safe, happy holiday my friends. This has been the Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Fun. Safe. GREEN.
