T&C Posted March 17 Posted March 17 There is nothing you can do on St. Patrick's day that you can't do on the other 364 days of the year... it's a nothing "holiday" with people doing what they usually do but... they do have paper green hats, so I'll give them that. The retail market loves it for sure.... 1 1 Quote

muppy Posted March 17 Author Posted March 17 (edited) not an Irish tune but boy Is it ever all shades of GREEN. Love this clip. and the lyric too, fooking Great lyric. CHEERS Happy St Pattys Day A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Take a look at where you started from And where you are today You climbed mountains Swam oceans You got knocked down And kept goin' In the end you know you got to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way All your wounds are healing fine I'm so glad I got you in my life Now the winter frost is gone Now is our chance to live the life we want A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Everybody, everybody's lost And that's okay Some show it, some hide it But there's a battle We're all fighting So if you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Holding onto the rabbit's feet Walking down the sunny side of the street Shadows creeping at your back You can forget 'em like an amnesiac A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Love is really like a wonder drug Let's medicate And say goodbye To the drama It's a beeline To Nirvana If you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho Edited March 17 by muppy 2 Quote

The retail market loves it for sure.... I have to disagree, to some extent. St Patricks Day is the only day of the year you get to listen to live bands along the River in Savannah while wading thru streets flowing with vomit and urine from the porta-potties that had been overflowing since noon. The sweet smell of celebration! You can’t get that every day! ….unless you live in New Orlean. 😂 5 Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Always fun to see MLB and MiLB teams break out the green ball caps for today's spring training games. Cheers to the few teams that actually tinker the uniforms as well. 2 Quote

The retail market loves it for sure Ya, Any other day of the year millions gather to watch parades and celebrate Irish culture. Just last month there were 500 bagpipers in Niagara Square on a normal Thursday for no reason at all. Was your goal to insult Irish Americans? Yom Kippur is just another day to me, but I just enjoy my normal day instead of telling Jewish people their holiday is meaningless. The fact that you went out of your way to post your ignorance on someone's thread celebrating St Patrick's Day and commemorating a dear friend who was lost in the past year says a lot. 1 2 Quote

How minty green is she! lol I saw that you are in San Diego. I lived in OB '82 '83. There was a bunch of folk who relocated from South Buffalo out there. I sang with the David Bradley Band at Jose Murphy's Irish Pub on Garnett in Pacific Beach a few times. He was inducted into SD Hall of Fame. More recently (last 25 years) a very good friend, who passed a few years ago, owned the OB Juice Bar on Newport around the corner from Winston's. Wife and I would take the mini motor home on a trip down the west coast from Oregon for a couple weeks every other year or so. Good times! I miss my buddy Rick. I hope you have a great day celebrating St Patricks and sharing stories of your friend.🍀 P.S. Love the hat Edited March 17 by Turk71 2 Quote
muppy Posted March 17 Author Posted March 17 (edited) Lord have mercy I'm reading in here and tearing up. Jimbob passed 2 years ago but today was HIS day amongst our friends group circa Elba NY. Small circle but Tight friends. He married my college roommate. He was My BF before she was his LOL it all turned out perfectly just backstory Did you ever know a guy named Chris Saunders? He was here within your time frame. Sports writer amongst other things. again RIP to fooking cancer. ANYWAY it can be a very small world. I met Chris through the Very earliest inception of the BBMB. San Diego is a great town we will be here the duration Lord willing. In San Diego they celebrate this day BIG and if you've ever been a part of it you would never disparage the festivities. It is also indeed the culture and dancing and green revelry its just FUN. The fun police can go pound sand 🙂 Gracias everyone. Have a frosty chilled GREEN beverage and have a blessed day. 🍀 @Turk71 the hat? G O R G E O U S . I would buy it if I could. I wonder if it would look good on me. She looks amazing in it Edited March 17 by muppy 3 1 Quote

She looks amazing in it I didn't know Chris but I did celebrate a St Patricks Day in SD '83. I had a great time, big celebration. I remember telling stories to a group of stockbrokers my friend worked with. I had them rolling in laughter. At the end, they offered me free training, a paid exam, and a couple of new suits if I would join their firm. I graciously declined and continued my adventures. My buddy from South Buff is a Vice President of the company now and lives on Coronado. Edited March 17 by Turk71 2 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Just had a friend send me some old photos from St. Paddy's Day like 12 years ago. I don't get out and about too often these days, just at an age where I'm past all that but it damn sure is nice to look back on the memories! Hope everybody who celebrated today created some fun memories or for those that didn't really get to do anything today hope you have some fond memories of St. Patrick's Days from years past to look back on. Cheers 🍻 1 1 Quote
