So, honestly I've never gotten that into St. Patricks day, I am one of those people Katy talked about in her blog that ignore some holidays. I think it all stems back from first grade, standing in a row with 30 other poor classmates singing an irish jig with a stupid paper beard and a funny hat, and all the while there are no presents or candy to be found. It's just gloomy mid march...
Why dont we celebrate something else around this time? I mean it is the Ides of March... That's a cool thing to celebrate. The ides of march means March 15, and it is the infamous day of Julius Caeser's assasination. The First despot of Rome! We should can the whole green thing and go with togas. The pot of gold becomes a heather wreath, and the little leprechauns become cute little conspirators, ready to assasinate anyone at a moments notice. The pinching would have to give way to mock stabbing. "Haha! Your not wearing a heather wreath! Take this!" "Et tu, Brute?" I can see this becoming a great family tradition.

I like the Ides of March suggestions but you better not try to cancel St. Patrick's day because Amy has red hair. Obviously she's Irish and needs to have a holiday about it. I bet you'd like St. Patrick's day if you just dyed more things green.
ReplyDeleteLike your roommates. I hear that dry koolaid on a towel does wonders for skin color. Also food coloring in the milk, toilet, etc. This is your last chance at practicing pranks--it's extremely important to test these things on people you're not sealed to forever.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered serving GREEN meatloaf??
ReplyDeleteYou know I've actually had green meatloaf... MOTHER!! It was made with that weird green ketchup they used to sell, it tasted fine, but no one in the house could get used to the fact that it was undoubtedly and irreparibly... green meatloaf...
