St. Patties

I find St. Patrick's Day an obnoxious holiday. I don't like to be told to wear green, I would prefer that be my choice. But if I don't my punishment is death by pinching. I don't like things that turn my mouth colors. I never liked those paintbrush lollipops or blue sno-cones so I certainly don't fancy green beer. Does this make me a square? Quite possibly. But what's new? I am a fan, however, of excuses to drink so the day isn't a complete loss. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
