Like I said, these pricks have been camped since noon. So trying to buy a beer is futile. I don't want to stand around for half an hour trying to buy a damn BEER.

Why insist on going to an Irish bar on st. patrick's day? Or is that the only day anyone realizes those bars are always full of people drinking for 8 hours a day?

It's not the same beer for all 8 hours. You have to have, maybe, 3-4 per hour to maintain proper hydration and buzz level. Usually, though, I am a hard liquor person. Mixing in a few shots also helps. Eating food tends to ruin it for me.

I will be happy to hold an interactive 8 hour workshop to show you how it's done.

I like Guiness. I like it better in Britain than I do here, but I still drink the stuff from time to time.

Drinking all day has never posed that much of a challenge for me. Everyone has their talent. That said, I don't really have plans for St. Pat's day.

I stopped drinking on St. Pat's Day the year I woke up at 5 am in a cell in Chicago not knowing where I was. Since then, I've limited myself to a pint or two at a local political breakfast and no more.

There are very few brews I like as much as Guinness, and I've never found it a problem to find a bar you could get into on St. Pats. It may be that I tended to hit the places the illegals hung out in in some of the so-so neighborhoods rather than the downtown "branded" Irish joints.

Then drink Bushmills. Ask for the black label. (Or drink Jamesons, if you are so into the Nationalist political scene that you refuse to drink Bushmills.) I prefer it neat, but on the rocks is acceptable. Any mixer (other than *maybe* water) is not acceptable.

Smoooooooooth whiskey, baby. That's the way to go.

Although I hvae learned to appreciate Guinness again recently (I had a bad exeperience with it at a family wake when I was in high school.)

Like NYE, St Pat's is amateur night. NFH is quite obviously an amateur.

Although I also wonder how anyone can drink beer all day. Whiskey, yes.

Smithwicks. I can't drink Guiness all day, but I can drink Smithwicks at any time.

Started at 9 AM last Saturday for the annual St. Pat's party. Hilarity and almost jailarity ensued.

If I had realized this was a talent, I would have tried to make a career out of it. Hopefully I'm not too old to break into the market now.

What did the office memo say? And who takes the paper out of the restroom? What goes in the stall, stays in the stall.

"A colleague in our suite mentioned that the Chicago Sun Times appears to be taken to the washroom and then returned to the kitchen table after usage. For hygienic reasons, please refrain from taking community reading material into the washrooms and re-depositing them on the kitchen table where unwanted germs may spread."

I mean, okay, it is the Sun Times, but still....

Look, my puncutation may be random and my inner grammarian woefully repressed, but I know how to spell GUINNESS.

Ettiquette Tip #23:

If you are having me, or anyone else, over for dinner, drinks, etc.. Have hard alcohol available. I enjoy the beer. I like the champagne. I will tolerate the wine. But none, not a one of them get me where I need, and have the right, to be. That you don't drink liquor does not excuse you from buying it for others. Its simple common courtesy. I'm not drinking because I like the fucking taste. Get me the shit I need to reach cruising altitude or don't invite me. Tell me in advance. I'll bring my own bottle.

I don't spell it; I drink it.

So I haven't been out drinking on a St. Patricks Day since the time I tried to get into Kell's which was packed and then tried to get into FX McRory's - same and then tried to get into Fado - same. What is the deal? You can't get into any respectible Irish Bar unless you've been camped there before noon. How do these people drink ALL DAY? And what's the attraction with Guiness? It tastes like asphalt.

Anyone have any plans?

1) Fado is hardly a "respectable Irish bar".

2) If you think Guinness tastes like asphalt, it is probably best that you stay home.

3) O'Reilly's at 2pm.
