Tonight Tommy at the High Beck Tavern (handily located at the corner of High and Beck) squoze a drop or two of green dye into our first pitcher of beer this eve.  I made a shitty fit of it and he left the beer alone after that.  Thanks, Tommy.  Green : beer :: Hunts : ketchup.

The people at the first bar didn't try to dye my Guinness but they did pour it fast so the head was bubbly instead of creamy.  Nonetheless, I tipped.  The TVs in one room were about four seconds ahead of the TVs in the other room, so we knew how Ohio State was doing a little before the other room did.  We would cheer and then the other people needed a bit to catch up to us.  It was like they were retarded sports (basketball) fans.

To sum up, boo to green beer but yay to beer in general.

PS - Gin is DA BOMB.  Hendrick's is potable poetry and even Plymouth (that British Navy stuff) is good when blessed with a squeeze of citrus.  I will happlily drink my share of the board's allotment.  (I will also eat the board's allotment of bacon, but that's a different thread.)

my friend celebrated St Patty's with a different thing which is green. Without dye. We were originally going to go to this party some kids were having downtown, but she was afraid of all the drunk punk kids, and I had to be home at a reasonable hour, since my flight leaves at 7 tomorrow.

also: I have realized, I have major psychosomatic-substance problems. When around a high person, life is awesome. When around drunk people, I start stumbling. It is really weird.

The second best thing about gin is that none of your grimeball friends like it.  Brandy or vodka, all the dudes will be like, "hook a brother up," and then the bottle is almost done and you didn't get drunk.

But gin, gin is a grimeball defense.  I buy a bottle of gin and I'll be on it dolo, no doubt.

One of the very most college-drinkest drinks I know of is gin mixed with Mountain Dew.  It almost kind of works. 

When my roomate and I started our senior year in our new apartment we bought handles of vodka, bourbon, rum, and gin.  At the end of the year the gin was still basically untouched, so we left it outside by the dumpster to make some bum's week.

Green beer is unacceptable.  Dying food items green is also unacceptable, unless they are egg yolks sunny-side up*.  If you must involve green, wear green clothing, and not those damned plastic bowlers.  Also: you are not irish, so stop trying to talk like Darby O'Gill.  You're not pulling it off, and it wasn't funny anyway.  Also: "Kiss me, I'm Irish" is only amusing when printed on under#####.

*Is this possible?  I want it if it is.

yea seriously. Is something wrong with us?

Am I right to understand they bought four handles and one of them was left at the end of the semester? What?

I thought maybe they lost them until the last weekend or something. That whole anecdote wasn't making any sense to me.

We go through a couple handles of Monopolowa and a couple Sapphires every two weeks I'm home. Is this . . . not good . . . or something?

They don't sell it in Anchorage, for some reason. When I'm up here (in town) I drink Chopin. They don't sell that in Portland. Funny old world, eh?

Did your guys' St. Patty's Day turn out pretty good? Mine did. I drank some Guinness, a gigantic bottle of Heineken and went for a nighttime skateboarding session at the local school with a couple friends. Let's just say alcohol makes you a much more daring athlete than normal. I learned this when I did a skateboard trick that involved stalling on a tree.

Mine was great. I worked. Then I went to sleep. Then I got up, and I'm at work now.

I thought maybe they lost them until the last weekend or something.

We actually had the alcohol sitting in plain view the entire year... but it turned out we hosted far fewer events than we had been expecting to, due to other friends renting a house and also due to us being legal and within walking distance of most of the bars in town.  The three other bottles were gone, replaced, and gone again quite quickly -- but the gin was mostly left alone.

This St. Patrick's day went pretty well for me.  Went to a party where I knew few people but still had a good time, and no one got drunk enough to break anything or yell.

I like that he had to defend himself. From accusations of not drinking enough.
